Have you ever noticed that sometimes, things that are initially frustrating and

annoying end up being a blessing in disguised?

The other day, I unwisely made an online purchase and within seconds my credit card company text me to say that I had five transactions from the one company.

They ended up blocking my account and would send me a new credit card in 5-

10 business days.

Oh no, I purchase everything on my card. And what was even more frustrating

was that I knew all the numbers (yes, all 23 digits) without looking at the card.

How will I live without my credit card?

Very quickly I thought, OK transfer some money into your debit card and use that

for the next 10 days.

Brilliant.

What is even more brilliant is that now I more conscious of every purchase.

“Do I really need this item?’ “how much money do I have on the debit card?”

My spending has decreased. My purchasing procedures have now been changed

forever.

Once again, I have unwrapped the Gift of Loss.

The new awareness around my past unconscious spending habits, made me ask

the question “What other habits, can I bring some consciousness to and possibly enhance?’

What’s one of your habits that you’d bring some consciousness to?
