Temptation
I woke up this morning feeling better than normal. I knew it was going to be a good day. I went to my spanish class and then received an email from my professor that my next class was cancelled. I was so excited, but I now had the whole afternoon left free. Before we left campus, I decided to eat my lunch in the Oakland Center so I wouldn't waste the food. After we were finished eating, we brainstormed on what we wanted to do. With the Village Mall being right around the corner, I brought up going to the mall to get ideas for Christmas shopping. We finally arrived at the mall and we went into several stores. Even though I saw plenty of items that I would love to have, I didn't have the same desire to buy it as I did before this experiment. This is progress right? Leaving the mall I felt successful with my new self control to not buy everything I want. I really hope I will gain this habit throughout my entire future. Later on in the day I had to work and then straight to practice. Nothing much happened except for a great nights sleep from a successful day. Tomorrow is day seven of this experiment. I can't wait to experience it!

You made it past the weekend, and that is absolutely the most challenging part! The future is looking bright from here, so keep up the good work. I always go to the mall and tell myself that I am not going to buy anything, but often I do -.- So that is awesome that you ignored the temptations. The fact that your desire of buying things that are appealing to you decreased, is definitely progress, no need to question that! I as well have gotten better with saving money & not buying everything I love. Though it is difficult, it will be beneficial in the future, so us girls need to stay strong! Also, when I'm lazy I love to just pick up some food quickly, or grab a frappuccino at starbucks, so good for you with that. Lastly, hygiene is extremely important to me as well, so thank goodness for mothers haha. Ultimately you seem to be doing very well, and it is inspiring how helpful this experiment has been to you. The week is almost over, so don't break down yet! Keep up the good work, and finish strong(:
ReplyDeleteI think is it really awesome that you went to the mall and did not buy anything. It is interesting to see how you are no longer have the need to buy everything you want in just under a week. It is definitely progress!
