In this episode, we dive into the connection between your energy and your holiday spending habits. Instead of turning to external solutions, we’ll explore how shifting your inner state can help you respect money.

Two tips:

1. Monitor how spending on specific things makes you FEEL. If it doesn't bring you joy, stop spending on it.

• (Ex: Do you have any recurring credit card charges that you've been meaning to cancel? Did you say yes to an activity that you actually don't want to partake in? Did you buy something you kind of liked but didn't love?)

2. When you notice a WANT for a specific thing, try to pinpoint how you want the thing to make you feel. Then, do energy work to prove to yourself how you can already access this feeling.

• (Ex: If you want to spend money on decor, you might be craving comfort. Prove to yourself, from tiny moments in your day, how you already feel and have comfort.)
