Dream Diet!

So ok, the other day I was talking about making a Bucket list of all the things I want to do this year ... I mean having a Bucket List is great if you're a Billionaire, but what if like me, you're not? Then I guess we have the Dream Diet!

The Dream diet consists of not buying anything unless it's worth the amount of Dream time that it represents. That is, once you've identified the dream you're trying to finance? whether it's a new lens, Travel the world or just try something new - before you spend any money ask yourself if you would get more satisfaction from putting that money aside in order to finance your dream. Such as ... Do I really need that new lens or would I rather have 3 days in Vegas! Or do I really need 3 days in Vegas or can I have a new lens instead!

To make sure that I actually stick to my dream diet?, I have to make it sticky. Two ways in which to make something sticky is to make it concrete, and to add emotion. So I have a glass jar and physically place the money in the jar. That way, when I decide not to stop by Starbucks this week and instead I put the £2.60 in my dream jar so I can see the results of my sacrifice.

Next step is to add some emotion ... For this I am going to cut out Photo's of all the things I want to do and stick them over my Jar ... This way I can look at it and Imagine myself being there or doing that ... easy huh?

And whats on my Bucket List??? ... Well that's another Blip!

Happy Dream Dieting ;-) xx
