Now for the fun part. I often get asked how I manage my career, businesses and still have time for leisure, shopping trips, and travels while still investing in my dreams, and I just have one word for you, DISCIPLINE. As a functional shopaholic, I had to learn to regulate my shopping, so I put myself on a diet. Every year, from January to Jun, I go on a financial/shopping fast. I restrain from buying anything that isn’t a complete necessity or travel for leisure around that time. I use those months for physical & spiritual growth. Picture 6 months of working out, drinking water, minding my own business, and moisturizing my skin and hair all the while building a closer relationship with God.
As a summer baby, my birthday month of July usually kicks off the start of the shopping season and the end of my fast. Shopping is more fun overseas so for the next 6 months of the year, I usually try to travel to a destination each month or prolong my trips if I’m traveling intercontinental. Working 3-4 days a week makes this possible for me to achieve but if you have a 9 to 5/week I would recommend working overtime during your fasting months then decreasing your hours on your holiday months so you can travel more, start a side hustle, etc...
I hope these tips were helpful for at least one of my readers. There is so much more for us to learn from 2020 but I hope each and every one of us learn the power of planning and manifesting.
