Week 49 Freeing up income

My fellow SYLers this has been a tough one for me. Up until recently I was better at this – no that’s not right I still am good at this I just choose to spend my money differently now.

I donate more to charity, I do more with my money and more importantly I spend more on me.

I used to scrimp and save on myself.  I used spend on other things not me but this has changed. I now have so much more on my plate and I know the importance of caring for the carer that I actual spend more on myself.  I deserve better than what I was previously doing.

Let me explain… I was always punishing myself because I thought I wasn’t good enough, because I didn’t love myself but more importantly because I thought I didn’t deserve anything. Since finding Louise Hay’s “Heal your life” and all the work am doing with Togetherness healing I know that I am good enough, that I love myself and I deserve all the abundances the universe has.

Maybe in a month or two I will revisit this one but for now I am happy to keep an eye on my expenditure but to also look after myself.

I don’t over do it but I deserve the good things in life.

This week I travelled to my dad to take him to his eye appointment – he has an injection in his eye every 6 weeks.  It is a tough time and I usually do a day trip – I live in the ACT and he is in Tweed Heads ( 14 hours drive or 2 hours flying time).

This time dad needed extra care as he had a bad reaction……. I had two stay an extra two days.  It was tough emotionally and physically.  Dad was in quite a bit of pain. Whilst I was there for 3 days there was also quite a bit of down time as dad had to rest and he doesn’t rest if I am there but I needed to stay to take him back for treatment.  So what to do…… yes you guessed it I hit the beautician, hairdresser and shops – well I need clothes as I only had two days of clothes.

It was a good little break and I got my hair done for the holidays…….I actually got some really great bargains.

Have a great week everyone.
