no spend day 1

How today's no-spend day went: I spent money. Unfortunately. But I'm not gonna give myself a hard time over it. I'm trying to get my spending under control anyway, it's not gonna be perfect and it's a bad coping mechanism that I've developed over the years when I feel bored, stressed, hungry or lack sleep. I'll strive to do better tomorrow. On the other hand, I made my own food the whole day, and I finished a bag of loose leaf tea that I've had for years at this point. It's still surprisingly good. I took a nap after because the surprise spending almost made me spiral emotionally but after waking up my emotions feel much more in control again. Things I did right: ✓ napped when tired ✓ ate when hungry ✓ read a book instead of scroll through socmed ✓ stopped myself from three more impulse purchases before I did it They seem like small things but those are what causes me to spiral and I think I did a decent job at being mindful of them and taking care of it before it impacted my spending…
