Shiny Object Syndrome
This month’s theme is Money Management and you can get the free worksheet at AffirmationPod.com/MoneyManagement
Let's break down some different types of Shiny Object Syndrome.
There's Shiny Projects Shiny Vacations Shiny Books and Magazines Shiny Shoes and Purses Shiny Name Brands Shiny Jewellry Shiny Conferences Shiny Restaurants Shiny Cars and Watches Shiny Houses and Neighborhoods And even Shiny Spouses!
What's “shiny” is different for everyone.
My shiny object is high end kitchen appliances and supplies. For me, Williams-Sonoma is full of shiny objects! For you it might be a particular breed of dog or a specific mountain bike or a certain vacation home in a certain spot. Here's three things to remember next time you face a shiny object:
Compare
- How does this shiny object compare to what I already have
- Is there anything wrong with what you have right now?
- Does it meet your needs?
- Have you given it enough time to run it's course?
- What makes the shiny object so intriguing?
Count
- Count the cost of this shiny object
- Count your expenses right now
- Count the cost of making the transition and change
- Count the pros and cons of keeping what you have
- Count the pros and cons of getting the shiny object
Consider (Picture)
- What will life be like with it in 6 months, 1 year, 2 years etc?
- What will life be like financially with it in 6 months, 1 year, 2 years etc?
- Can you afford it? Will it be a financial burden?
- Is this similar to a purchase you've regretted buying in the past?

You Are Worthy
Feeling down about yourself? Struggling with setting boundaries? Wishing you were better at managing your emotions and staying grounded in the present?
Very often, we lose ourselves in the darkness of our own judgment. We allow our inner critic to drown out our voice of self-compassion, and find ourselves in a downward spiral of negativity - yikes!
But imagine what would happen if you started speaking to yourself kindly. Imagine if you embraced all parts of yourself - even the work in progress parts - and welcomed an abundance of self love into your heart, body, and mind.
