4. Be thrifty
Materialism, overconsumption and overspending will ultimately get you down, Lyubomirsky has noted, reiterating the point by using age-old tropes (possessions break, while memories only get better) and quotes (“Our necessities are few, but our wants are endless”). “Promoting sustainable happiness means helping people transcend set points and setbacks to live more rewarding lives,” she writes in one study. “Thrift can complement this endeavor by extending the meaning of sustainability, ensuring that the collective can flourish as well as the individual.” In other words? Greed makes everyone sad.
I thought this worth repeating #4 especially, "Greed makes everyone sad", and am experimenting with a less is more philosophy at home in the kitchen and in other ways. I have always tried to incorporate this into my philosophy here at Fantastic Fit Foods, thrift is indeed a gift! In the kitchen I am cutting back on the amount that I buy at the grocery store by staying tight to my grocery list and also working to shop for and prepare two major meals per week, where the leftovers can be used to create other meals and snacks. Try this philosophy for a week, simple and money saving.
P.S. Another great thing about this is weight loss. If I don't have it I don't eat it!! lol : ) Have a great day everyone.
