The past few days have been all about tackling a To Do list before I jumped into work...and trying to feel abundant. It's hard to have the "Christmas Spirit" when all you can think about is making enough to pay the rent and looming bills and realizing you not only CAN'T get gifts for anyone but all your time must be devoted to- rent and bills.
And if you are online your nose is shoved in everyone elses shiny tinsel, living rooms with 5 Christmas trees and a bunch of "oh my I have 70 gifts to wrap!" and lots of food and parties you are not party to. 😂😂😂
Luckily I do not care for materialistic things, shopping and spending lots of money on more plastic, polluting, etc.
However- not being able to afford basic life things or wincing at the price of a holiday ham I plan to buy for the families Christmas meal- that hurts!
So ABUNDANCE PROJECTS because focusing on what you have feels a heck of a lot better than focusing on what you lack.
I've already blogged about getting in your kitchen and taking stock of all the meals you can make with not much...so lets move on to something that doesn't sound fun but is definitely rewarding.
Taking care of your NEST aka home. Im a renter unfortunately and allllll my money seems to go to rent and all my life is consumed with making that rent. So making this little nest I pay all my toil to should be so comfortable to me.
Working ALL THE TIME usually means things fall by the wayside and before I know it- CLUTTERVILLE. My dresser becomes a place that everything lands on and the floor is suddenly my closet.
It IRKS ME when its like that and a low level of unhappiness sets in...another thing I need to do on a long list of things to do.
So my goal this weekend was chip at the clutter- kill the clothes pile, reclaim my dresser and remember this is MY NEST and it should be how I want it.
You will feel abundance as you put away allll your clothes you are lucky to have (I own 2 pairs of jeans instead of 5 Christmas trees) and realize you may have more socks than you previously thought. There's your Christmas present- more socks! 😂
You will realize you have an abundance of stuff-maybe even stuff you can donate and feel more abundant...or maybe even gift to others (now you have Christmas presents to give!)
Plus-you have gifted yourself peace of mind, space and a feeling that you accomplished your to do list and can now do anything!
Well almost anything...theres still rent to make!
Hopefully this helps anyone who is in the same boat as me. It's all perspective and mindset. Shift to what you have, not what you lack and try to enjoy the holidays and your peaceful nest.
