We’re Addicted to our Devices – Admit it!!

Who doesn’t want a feel good hit of dopamine?

You LOVE, depend on, look forward to – can’t live without? – the feel good dopamine pops you get every time you check your phone for messages, go on FB, check Instagram, emails, etc.

I know I feel slightly panicky if I don’t know where my phone is though I don’t share my 15 year old granddaughters high panic if hers is dead and there’s no charger around.

But, really. Are we paying homage to the god of technology?

The downside of overuse of screens?

Shallow concentration, inability to focus, or read for longer periods of time.

When’s the last time you read a book?
How do the devices affect children? You, the parents, say “Time to get off the Ipad!”
Your child says, “Sure, mom or dad.” Right…Tantrums. Plenty of whines of “I’m bored, what am I going to do now?”

When I said “I’m bored” to my parents they’d yell – “Well, go outside and play. Or, “Find something to do or I’ll find something for you to do.”

I know I feel slightly panicky if I don’t know where my phone is though I don’t share my 15 year old granddaughters high panic if hers is dead and there’s no charger around.
But, really. We are paying homage to the god of technology

I'm sorry to see Birgit Fladagar retire. I ran into her year after year at Virginia Madueno's High Tea of Hope fundraiser that supported women experiencing domestic violence. She was always quietly friendly and engaging. She is the ONLY female DA Stanislaus County has had ever and when she started, one of a very few in the State. She was the DA during the Scott Peterson case and did a great job. I wish her well in retirement and hope the new DA fills her shoes.

Birgit Fladager has forged a reputation as a media-shy, no-nonsense, tough-on-crime badass. | Opinion

In January try saving money by NOT spending money for an entire week. Honestly, I am going to take this challenge and I wonder if I'll make it. The quote below comes from a daily Money Scoop blog I subscribe to.

One thing I've learned is that it's not always about making more $$ - learning how to save with tips like these help you keep it!!

"Folks, we’ve done it. We’ve survived the spendiest time of the year. Personally, my wallet is completely empty. Like, full-of-cobwebs empty. (I’m pretty sure there’s a ghost living in there.) If you also went fa-la-la-la-la full throttle on holiday spending, the smart move is to schedule a no-spend week.

Maybe you’ve heard of a no-spend month: A designated month to recalibrate your budget by purchasing only the essentials. We’re talkin’ rent, utilities, car payment, and cheap groceries. That’s it—nothing else.

I’ve tried a few no-spend months myself, and I rarely make it through to the end. Life happens! Instead, I like to challenge myself with no-spend weeks.

During a no-spend week, I’ll opt for free activities—meeting my boyfriend at the park instead of going to the movies, for example. I’ll also try to forego grocery shopping entirely and get creative with pantry meals instead. Finally, I’ll spend a few extra minutes each day to unsubscribe from tempting emails from online retailers.

Honestly, it’s pretty fun. It’s also a great way to force yourself into a spending reset, which is especially helpful after the holidays. Here’s to a new year of smarter spending." —Lillian

Prosperity, Power & Peace for Women:

From birth to age eighteen, a girl needs good parents. From eighteen to thirty-five she needs good looks. From thirty-five to fifty-five she needs a good personality. From fifty-five on she needs cash.” Sophie Tucker

Over a hundred years ago the first and most famous psychiatrist, Sigmund Freud, asked the question: “What do women want?” Men, of course, are still perplexed by that question. No surprise. We women are complicated. That’s ok.

But women, WE don’t want to be perplexed by our money! That’s expensive ignorance. To be financially savvy, there are certain things you must know about YOUR money.

#1 You must pay more attention to your money more consistently.
It’s best to practice living within your means. This can also be called living with a buh, buh, BUDGET. But, before you freak out – there are easy budget plans.

I love Chellie Campbell’s budget definition in her book: From Worry to Wealthy: “Baby, U Deserve Getting EveryThing”.

We do deserve everything, and we make a big statement to the Universe that we are ready for more money to come our way when we become more conscious about our money. We work hard for our money and we should want to care for our hard earned money.

I love coaching women to improve their money situation - make more, save more, be happier with what you have. Reach out to me for a short, complimentary consult to see if coaching can move you forward.

Are you generous with your money - sometimes overly so? Or, is it hard for you to spend your hard earned money?

The relationship we have with money isn't often examined and can blindside us.

For example - when I was younger if my husband tried to talk with me about $$ I would either get mad or start crying - neither one of which helped us deal with the situation. I learned through money coaching what was triggering me - my Dad's criticism and my parents loose relationship with money.

If you'd like to know more about what's driving your money bus take The Money Quiz here. We'll both get the results and then I'll contact you for a complimentary 15 minute review.

Prosperity & JOY to you!
