Uber-Frugal Month Challenge

I'm not quite sure if I am ready to participate, but I am going through the steps as an inquiry process.

The thought of simple living evokes this feeling in me.

Goal-setting questions:

Why are you participating in this Challenge? 

I want to be more conscious of all most choices, make them intentional.  So much gets bought and consumed because it is easy, which is important for life balance as well, but it should be done with forethought.  Is there a way of doing things that is better for the planet?  Being conscious of my spending means that I also must be aware of my choices, to slow down and think.

What do you hope to achieve?

I want to be more intentional with all my choices, including spending.

What are your longterm life goals?

Connection: to myself, my family, my friends and the wider world

Where do you want to be in 10 years?

Working four days a week in a job that fills me up

Connecting with my loved ones - spending quality time with them

Spending a lot of time in the forest

Traveling and exploring regularly

Only spending money on things that bring me joy

What about your current lifestyle might prevent those goals from coming to fruition and what can you do about it?

Spending without thinking

Some days I am too busy 'doing' that I don't use my time to enjoy, to be in the moment, to remember and live by what is important

What can I do about it?

Only surround myself by things and people that/who bring me joy - frees up time and money.
