Hello, beautiful souls! It’s time to have a heart-to-heart about something that impacts our financial well-being and overall happiness – discretionary spending. I’m here to guide my fellow Latinas who might be struggling with money and looking to bring more joy into their financial journey.
Let’s dive into a crucial question: What’s bringing you joy in this season of your life? And I don’t mean last week, pre-pandemic, or a decade ago. I mean what’s lighting up your heart and soul right now, in this very moment? 🌟
Also what is lighting YOU up? Not your partner, children, parents or friends. Be sure to dissociate from them for a minute and look at what you love.
I’ve been on a journey myself, and I want to share my experience with you. I recently realized that my financial habits needed a makeover. I was clinging to routines that had lost their spark and no longer brought me the joy they once did. It was as if I was searching for happiness that had moved on to new pastures.
But here’s the truth: I had outgrown those habits, and it was okay. Money management isn’t about never spending a dime; it’s about redirecting your spending towards things that truly light you up and away from those that no longer serve you.
What brings YOU joy
So, here’s a little exercise for you. Take a moment to write down three categories that are currently bringing you joy. What makes your heart skip a beat and your soul dance with delight?
For me, it’s all about:
- Healthy Body: I’m investing in high-quality foods and supplements, and relishing home-cooked meals.
- Healthy Hair and Skin: Moisture-focused curly hair care and indulging in Korean skincare products.
- Home Nesting: Creating a space that fills me with joy, from “Dopamine Decor” to energetic cleaning and simplifying.
Now, I want you to look at your current spending. Are you prioritizing any of your top three joy-inducing categories? If not, don’t worry; it’s never too late to make a change.
By shifting your spending from purchases that don’t ignite joy to ones you genuinely love, you can make your budget not only substantial but also satisfying. This shift is just one of the many transformational steps I guide my private 1:1 coaching clients through.
