1) Know your spending limit (and never cross it). 2) Avoid buying unnecessary things - and then you won’t have to give up what you need. 3) Ten think twice before you spend money.4) First of all, buy “assets” - and only after that spend all the remaining money.

On December 31, we will sit down at the festive table and begin to abuse our body in a sophisticated way: overeating on junk food, drinking junk drinks, staying up late for a long time, etc. Worse, we will deceive ourselves: solemnly promising to join the gym/swimming pool in the New Year, eat only healthy food, drink only clean water, not overeat at night, etc. New Year's resolutions to yourself (which are not fulfilled year after year).

Here are the steps that will help us “brainwash” ourselves in order to get rid of harmful beliefs (leaving only useful ones): 1) Shift your attention from negative thoughts to positive ones (in the evening, write down 5 of your successes - big and small - over the past day). 2) Take care of your body: physical activity, plenty of water and fresh air, 8-hour sleep, etc. 3) Say positive affirmations several times a day (for example, this one - every day, always and in everything, my things are getting better and better).4) Find yourself a positive hobby that will allow you to communicate with optimistic people.

They are inevitable and, at times, can be scary. But, at the same time, they bring with them new opportunities and new Happiness. Additionally: Read my other article “Where NOT to invest money?
