its of the now. That means counting your blessings, practicing daily gratitude for what you do have financially and otherwise, no matter how small.
Verbalizing gratitude is an exercise I do with my two young daughters every night. We are never allowed to “repeat” the same gratitude twice, which challenges us to find the joy in the mundane and refocuses our “Scarcity of Attention” onto the good, rather than the bad or stressful aspects of each day.
For example, last night I made apple muffins from a new recipe I got through email. They were really tasty, but also a complete mess. Totally not worth my time and effort. You know what I was grateful for, though? Having the time to make the muffins in the first place.
I think it’s time that we all start to look at our finances that way. It is time to use the Scarcity of Attention to refocus on what we do have and make more with less.
How do you make saving easy?
