Easier said than done, especially if you suffer from learned helplessness and poverty mentality due to years of living like a dog. As with most habits that are worth investing in, this oneās a matter of going against your gut, at least initially. Thatās fine because your gut is probably leaky and has a messed up microbiome. Only problem is once you break the seal, thereās no going back.

I get so complacent and honestly lazy and this leads to more consumption of goods and services that do not align with my values!!
Divest from convenience culture! Take the long route!

Typically it boils down to forming habits you aspire to have. Which is infinitely more difficult than it sounds unfortunately. Especially if you arenāt already aware of what causes what you donāt like about yourself. That takes therapy and introspection. Just remember that at the end of the day change canāt happen over night, or at least the change that counts. Give yourself grace and time to evolve, because at the end of the day thats what lifeās journey is all about.

Perseverance is a good thing. But I was unconsciously trained to consistently ignore my mental and physical needs. It took me a long time to realize I don't have to live like that.

As you get older, nothing makes you feel more confident than dousing yourself in perfume to mask the stench of mortality. Granted Iām new to this and not an expert on fragrances, let alone ānotesā and whatnot. But since newsletters are all about advising you on how to creatively spend your money, Iāll do my part and point you in the right direction. My go-to rotation at the moment is Serge Lutens Fille de Berlin, Olympic Orchids Ballets Rouges, and TRNP Bulgakov (Limited Edition *not* OG), which the manufacturer describes as smelling like āfaded opulence.ā Sometimes I like to wild out and layer them all on at once. Not everyone is blessed with healthy levels of narcissism. Perfume is a good way to stack the cards in your favor.

Nothing feels as good as unsubscribing, but youāre gonna want to hold on to a physical subscription or two, if for no other reason then ambiance. Personally, I recommend American Affairs and The New Criterion, a couple of quality periodicals with good aesthetics that some may call āfascist,ā but I call respectable. Reading magazines will help you improve your attention span and cut through the wasteland of takes. God knows we could all use some of that.

I know this sounds redundant but slow your roll. If youāre like me and do a lot of traveling, youāll want to keep a handful of sample sprays on you at all times. A quick, easy and low-cost way to feel refreshed after a long flight or between āmeetings.ā
