Reframing is always good

How about telling yourself that you are experimenting with reduced income? (This is so you don't feel like it is a permanent thing...that can make you feel trapped and out of control) Your new (good) efforts are to see how "cheaply" you can live for "this day" "this week" and to find out what you really enjoy rather than feverishly spending out of a stress reaction?

You know this is a good thing. You know you will feel more in control once you succeed. You know that this way you will have money for the things you really want to buy in the future.

GOOD WISHES!
