I’m attempting to trick myself into good habits with a month-to-month problem (examples embody no hitting snooze, solely consuming 1x every week, solely consuming dessert 1x every week, no garments purchasing, solely doing my nails at house – no going to the salon). I prefer to get myself a medium sized deal with for finishing these challenges. In search of concepts within the approx $50-75 vary that is likely to be a pleasant deal with for myself. I determine most of those challenges save me no less than that a lot, if no more, so it’s price a deal with so I don’t really feel like I’m depriving myself.
I’ve just a few greater challenges on the horizon: prepare 3x every week and run a half marathon (I’ve run them earlier than, however not whereas following any type of coaching plan), learn 25 books/yr, save 10k this yr. For these accomplishments I’d prefer to menace myself to one thing greater int he $100-250 vary. These are all some time away, however wish to begin brainstorming so I’ve one thing to look ahead to.
Some background: I was a frugal and match individual and that ALL went out the window through the pandemic (therefore these challenges are principally about being more healthy, saving cash, and being extra disciplined). I’m attempting to give attention to proudly owning much less, however proudly owning higher (each high quality and issues I like higher). I’m not eager about concepts like “get a enjoyable espresso and take a stroll within the park”, I already get myself flowers each week (life is brief, why not), and I already get semi-regular massages for well being causes. I”m single/childfree late 20s dwelling with a roommate in an enormous metropolis and work a hybrid schedule. I appear to have no downside spending cash on silly issues (takeout, lattes, nails, something below $20 which all provides up), am fairly frugal on different issues (garments are principally thrifted or from low cost locations like Quince, my automotive is 17 years previous), and I’m not good at splurging on nicer issues. I might undoubtedly like these splurges to really feel “luxurious”. I don’t care about labels/designer, I’m not into purses (however am a piece tote perhaps), and I really like enjoyable jewellery however don’t purchase myself good jewellery (often simply one thing enjoyable from Etsy!)
