today is day one of no spend September and I feel like every time I talk about no spend months I get met with like this scarcity mindset but I wanna talk about how no spend months are such a good time to look at the abundance of things that you already have I have so many books to read on my bookshelf and the library has so many books I have so many clothes in my closet and I don’t need more we have been blessed with so many hand me downs for my son and he doesn’t need more clothes this sounds so cheesy but I love pausing during no spend months and just really actually looking around and seeing like how much we actually have I feel like it’s so easy to get caught up in the like bye bye bye consume consume consume social media tells me I need more but like really pausing to like just enjoy what we already have changes my mindset so much around wanting to spend money and wanting to buy new things and I I by no means mean this in like a toxic positivity like just be grateful for what you have but no spend months really truly do like make me pause and take a step back and be grateful for what we have
