Week 2 of my low-buy has begun…is that it? Are we truly only
on the 2rd week of this New Year? The buzz of motivation has surely
left me and I feel cold, irritable and frustrated. It was inevitable but it
hits hard. Today hasn’t been a very good day. This mood isn’t a result of denying
myself something however, far from it. I’m feeling anxious, on-edge and in pain
(tummy ache,) but this is all my own doing. I suppose this would be the time
where I would buy myself something cute and colourful in an effort to cheer
myself up. I’m trying to fight the urge by reading articles and blog posts from
people who’ve successfully completed entire No Buy years but I think it’s making
me feel more daunted than inspired. It just feels like an enormous mountain to
climb. I want to make changes, I want to streamline my life and my stuff, I no
longer want to feel suffocated in my tiny room by all my belongings…beautiful
things filled with beautiful memories. But so much of it needs to go now...
I’m going to try to put some things on Ebay this evening,
before putting things in a new charity shop bag. I donated a fair bit over the weekend
and it felt really good. But I know that there is more I could dispose of. I
don’t know if it's a good idea to do it when i'm in a mood like this though, in case I regret getting rid
of something. So selling feels easier, as I can take the advert down when I
like. And, any profit I make I can put towards my skincare replenishment and the like. If I make any, of course.
Hopefully this will help me focus and crack right on.
