Go camping for a week. Get off the beaten track and see the vista of nature. Carry your clothes, your food, your house. Realize how uncomfortable, challenging, beautiful, and humbling the world around us is.

I would recommend doing it in an appropriate place, with friends, during a nice time of year. The small changes we often make to our environment will become apparent and you'll still have a better perspective on the luxury we enjoy vs the needs you truly have.

You could also try fasting for 2 days. Or 3. You’ll have a new perspective like after camping for a week.

I suppose, but like shoveling snow for a few mornings (but going back in to have a big breakfast in a warm house), you only hit one of your needs. It's realizing the network of requirements we have (food, clothing, movement, safety, friendship) that makes through camping compelling.
