Take Back Tuesday

By Spender Jaclyn

  I am taking back my power today.

  I am noticing how loud the world is when it comes

   to spending.

  Buy one get one.

  Limited time only.

  Rare.

  One of a kind.

  Only a few left.

  Act now.

  My inbox reminding me I “forgot” something in my cart.

  Ads showing me exactly what I just talked about like

    they are reading my mind.

  I used to feel like I had to respond.

  Like if I did not click, I would miss something.

  Like the deal was controlling me.

  Today I am choosing something different.

  I am choosing the pause.

  I am reminding myself that urgency is often

   manufactured.

  That “limited” does not mean necessary.

  That “rare” does not mean I need it.

  That “add to cart” is not the same as adding value

    to my life.

  I am taking back my ability to say no.

  No to the pressure.

  No to the illusion of scarcity.

  No to the voice that says I need to act right now.

  I am choosing peace over impulse.

  I am choosing presence over purchase.

  I am choosing freedom over fear of missing out.

  Today, my power is not in what I buy.

  My power is in the pause.

  And in that pause, I find peace.

  Here are my top lines for Take Back Tuesday

    Pause….

  I stop.

  I do not click. I do not scroll. I do not add to cart.

  I breathe.

  In for 4… hold for 4… out for 6.

  I let my body catch up to this moment.

  I notice.

  I am feeling the pull.

  I am feeling urgency.

  I am feeling the need to fix something with a purchase.

  I remind myself.

  This is an urge, not a need.

  This feeling will pass.

  No sale is more important than my peace.

  I choose.

  I choose to wait.

  I choose to protect my time, my money, and my mind.

  I choose peace over purchase.

  I redirect.

  I will stand up, drink water, step outside, pray, or clean.  

   one small thing.

 Enough

  I have enough

  I AM enough

  I have nothing to prove

  I don’t have to be perfect to be remarkable.
