Since 2020 I've dodged a lot of illnesses. Well, I just made up for that. It had such a gradual start that I thought it wouldn't be that bad. Two weeks later and I'm finally starting to feel hopeful again. There has been no cooking, no cleaning, and no laundry - my job has been to ... exist. My heart goes out to you. You've been through so much more. I don't know how you keep your spirits up.
To rein in your in store buying... Only pay with cash that you've set aside in advance. Deodorant is $10, designate a $20 bill and don't go over. It's kinda like the envelope method, without the envelopes. 💖🌞🌵😷
My energy is going into a no complaining about my chronic illnesses this year, which is going so-so. I am trying to focus on what I can do instead of what I can't. Some days are easier than others. I find putting stuff into a wish list online cathartic even if I never buy the items... I know where they live...lol.
Try this self talk (I know it's a small change but it makes a big difference)... Instead of saying: I have a chronic illness (meaning it's mine, I have it and I'm not getting rid of it). Say: I'm recovering from a chronic illness (meaning each day, no matter how small, I'm conquering this beast!)
It's hard to change the dialogue, and I catch myself all the time, but I see progress and you will too. Stay focused on the steps forward and the steps back will seem smaller. Yes, I'm going to notate that I made the bed today... but will forget that I was climbing back in an hour later... But man I will notate the gratitude of how good it felt to get in with all the blankets in order and no wrinkles in the sheets. Sending lots of love 💖 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵. Take care of yourself and each other 😷.
@suzisaintjames love your “self talk” I need to learn this!
@@debbieconnellysheppard9789 , like I said, it's easier said than done. It takes a LOT of practice. It was either Joyce Meyer or Joel Osteen who gave me this. Don't let these little bits of negative thoughts change your perspective. Yes, I suffer from chronic illness and yes, I'm recovering from chronic illness, but it's not mine, as I'd surely give back in an instant. Sending lots of love 💖 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵. Take care of yourself and each other 😷.

Emotional spending is such a pain in the ass. That was February for me, too. Plus the fact that one of my tax returns hit my bank account. "I HAVE MONEY!!!" Not really, and I overspent what I did budget for refreshing some things that needed to get refreshed.
Im scared that this will be me later (april/may?) when it happens. I've promised myself to pay off extra on my student loans, save a third and buy some lego i've been wanting . I have no idea if i'll be able to follow that
@@MirandaPurpleCloudsPay off the extra on your student loans first, then put some into your savings account (I actually have a secondary savings account that I use to "hide" money from myself since I don't see it on a regular basis), and THEN you'll know exactly how much you have to "play" with. What didn't help me was that a raise also hit my paycheck so I wasn't as clear on how much money I had for "play".
I hope everything goes well with your surgeries. Hang in there!
I didn't do a no buy in February but when I was most of the way through the month I discovered Finish February and decided to take the "work on one specific project for 15 minutes a day until it's done" challenge with me for the rest of the year. Getting bored and starting new projects is an issue for me, so instead of no spend maybe I need a no start challenge, at least until I finish my current projects.
I forgot to pick a marker! I was thinking about it when you shared to Patreon and totally spaced 🙃🙃
I was successful in my no buy for February. On March 3, I did buy from threeetsy sites. I am hoping that no more shopping the rest of the month.
I’m not doing a no buy, but I accepted a new job on 3/8!
7:00 why can't you combine the music sheets into one and throw away the two empty sheets and call it a win? 💖🌞🌵😷
What about replacing stress shopping habit with something else like going through your planers/other stuff, journaling or watching you favourite shows? Reading?
I'd also recommend video games! Either cozy relaxing ones to chill and not be stressful, or fighting ones so you can beat the crap out of something and not go to jail 😂
(comment not that related to the video) So, Cindy has been my fav youtuber in the last couple of years, and I LOVE YOU so bad, but life has been hard these last months and now I feel like I'm finally getting a grip into life again. Finally got my adhd diagnosis and medication, and that shit has been haunting my college performance and in life overall, and im regaining my passion and love for planning. Earlier this year I made my 2024 bullet journal set up, but before I could fill it up and make the january spread, i lost ALL my pens and markers with my whole pencil case, in the college campus, and even trying for weeks, i couldn't find it. not a great text but the point is, I wanna rebuild my pencil colection, wanna get better grades in college, wanna create a good routine, i need to move to another apartment still this month and i have to improove my finances. So starting in this video, today, im gonna try my best to catch up to all the releases i lost in these months, so that cindy can be my "life improvement buddy" and a source of motivation and inspiration, and i can comeback to suporting her.
I’m going to guess that your favorite garden center is either Nick’s or Tagawa’s? Love them both. Now days I shop at either City Floral or Country Fair….
I have been reorganzing and purging my craft stuff that I've collected over the past 15 or so odd years. I am on a journey to get back into my crafts after abandoning them for several reasons. With my therapist's help I realized I need craft time for me. Anyway, I needed to replace a few things and then I have been using some stuff up too. So i got a few things to replace and I added a few things. Spent 50 when I meant to spend 30. Ugh and then I got the flu and I got stuck watching crafting asmr videos ( I hate normal ones, didn't think I liked any asmr til I found these) and then ordered some things off of ali express while in the middle of a fever and didn't realize I had done it til the next day when I was a bit better. Woops. Feburary sucked but March is another try! I definitely get spend happy when I'm sicker for long periods of time. My impulse control goes to almost nothing.
🤔 Too bad you can't return the regret purchases. 💖🌞🌵😷
Cindy messing with fountain pens and syringe filling cartridges... I didn't expect to see that happen like ever. 😂 But I'm here for it, I'm loving all these YTers 'discovering' FPs, for the first time in decades, my stationary is finally trendy 😆
I used to cope with carbs. I'm on the wagon at the moment, except that I bought a greenhouse yesterday lol
I'm moving into a plant era - wish the plants luck. And I just bought your doodle book :) I definitely struggle with emotional spending and unfortunately I do most of mine online... it's a constant work in progress.
Aw man, the markers is going to be hard! I use my gray mildliner the most and it usually takes A WHILE to get through one.
Good luck! On the marker use up and the upcoming health stuff!
Emotional spending 😩 my husband is out of the country for two weeks for a funeral and my mood is LOW. I keep getting packages I don’t even remember ordering. It’s bad. Need a come-to-Jesus right meow.
Sad to hear you're having a tough time. Sending you a digital hug, for what it's worth from a stranger online. When you get the urge to start scrolling through the shopping sites, could you phone a friend? Just chat for a while. Tell them why or don't, it's up to you, but contact with others can help so much. ❤
I finally got my fountain pen buying habits under control..... Aaaand immediately moved to watches 🤦♀️ I also need to deal with some underlying issues and in particular my love of rabbit hole deep dives/hyperfixations
Plants can get really expensive
I have too much stuff to use. They just sit there looking at me. I need to get rid of it.
Ditto!🙋🏾♀️ I’m currently cleaning and applying leather ointment to my planners. Looking for my green Finsbury or Chameleon.
💜💜
I decided to just accept my fate and just give myself a budget to buy shit - I.e. shop on Amazon (I don’t leave the house). To balance it, I buy myself a gift card to get cash back at least and that’s my budget for the month. I’ve taken my bank card etc off it and I’m way too lazy to add it back so once the gift card is gone, then it’s gone 😂😂
My feb no-buy died horribly about half way through due to … emotional spending. Hopeless 😩
I murdered most of my plants. LMAO. Only Cindy.
