1-Minute-Stop
Last months, or even last years, maybe are the most moments that “consume” myself. Money and time wasted unreasonably.
I ever read about an article or blog-i forget, tells that you have to questioning yourself when you want to buy something. Or maybe it could refer to Marie Kondo way, which sparks joy? That you have to make sure yourself that thing is really important for you.
Then, (finally) I try to practice this. Something I called 1-minute-stop. When I wanna buy something, I stop first. Think about what-ifs in 1 minute. If there’s some make-sensed reasons then I won’t buy it. Or at least, I’ll postpone it. There are many things I finally not buying them and now I’m happy enough with my current havings.
Not only when buying something, but when I want to do something too. I try to do 1-minute-stop to ask myself, “Is this what should I do? Why should I do this? What if I don’t do this?” ...so on and so on. Even just for a little thing like when I want to post something in Instagram, now I’m thinking “Will this give a good impact? Is this caption good enough to tell a story? Are you ready if all your following see this?”
Magically, it is effectively works! I think the reason is that we just have to stop first before when we’re in urge, to bring back our consciousness, because actually-based on what I did, the first thought when I stop is my true heart speaks and turns out that’s my last decision. So, I thank to myself that I still have a good logic and pure heart to decide :-P
Now I’m curious.. Imagining how if I do this for everything? How much things can change my priority? How much money that I could save? How much time that I could use wisely?
And, how much this affect myself or even my life?
