We have all had difficult days and just want to go out to eat treat myself and spend money. It's all too common to just want to he taken care of when we are feeling down or had a rough day. It's too easy to over spend in these weak moments.
In all honesty it's better for your kind and soul to simply go home pop in a favorite DVD, take a moment to breathe and maybe order some takeout or call some friends over for a night in. Laughter is the best medicine, it will lift your spirits and help you to take a moment of some much bedded "You" time.
Never underestimate the power of love and family. The ailments you experience are far too often cured by simply being connected with others and taking a deep breath.
Spending money when you already feel down will often make one feel even worse. If you didn't have the money to spend prior to your bad day you certainly didn't have it while you're cranky and feeling blue.
Walks in the park are a great de-stressor. I have also taken to purchasing my own foot bath and paraffin hand treatment kit. It's fun I can do it with my children and friends and it's something that's a very low investment that I can do about 20-30 of rather than having to pay $50/treatment. A nice foot bath and Epsom salt is about $45 for a one time investment. That's
$45 x 1=$45 Or $50 x 20= $1000
That's a savings of $955
Even just supplementing 1-2 of those pampering times will save you immensely.
I have little girls and this is great for de-stressing . We paint each others toe nails and have fun. It's a treat and a great date night with my child or children when we go to the salon. Saving those times for rare and special occasions rather than a way to unwind on a regular basis is an essential way to save money, feel better on a bad day and also connect more with your family.
