This week I begin teaching my nutrition and fitness classes and I wanted to have pens ready for my participants to use. On Monday I thought about buying some new pens and pencils, but every time I think 'I need' this or that, I ask myself:
"Do I really need it?
Do I already have it at home?"
"Do I really need it?
Do I already have it at home?"

Instead of buying new ones, I took out Bret's container of pens (which has been lying around the house for years!) so that I could use up. I separated the working ones, kept them; and threw the non-working ones to the recycling bin.
It actually kind of fun (and it was a good exercise for my fingers). ;-) It also felt good ppracticing this thought: there is always more than we can do with the stuff we already have instead of buying new stuff that can just go un-used until who knows when.
Right after that little task, I finished my large cup of yerba mate and green tea and Bret and were ready to hit the gym for a tough leg session!
Love,
Bea
