You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step. – Martin Luther King, Jr.
Filter your own water instead of buying bottled water.
Get a rechargeable lamp with a timer and carry it with you from room to room. I got mine off of Amazon years ago, and I charge it once a month and use it in the bathroom.
Cancel gym memberships that aren’t well used, and start exercise at home. You don’t need equipment. So much can be done with your own body weight alone.
Choose energy-efficient appliances and light bulbs, and opt for rechargeable batteries.
Opt for a free date night out. Take a stroll under the moon and stars. Set up a projector outside and have an outdoor movie night. Go camping or swimming. Have a lovely picknick by the seaside… The list goes on.
Block payment alternatives to limit online shopping.
Read books and magazines, listen to music and audiobooks or borrow movies from your local library.
Buy your furniture used, or get it for free. So many people throw away their furniture before a move, or when they simply tire of them. There are plenty of ways to get excellent furniture for free, and you can also upcycle them or redesign them.
Start making some of your beauty or grooming products yourself. The pantry is good for more than just settling grumbling tummies.
Cut back on credit cards you don’t use. Having one card connected to your account is more than enough for me. I used to have more, and I had to pay for them every month without hardly ever using them. Now I stick to the one, and I don’t need to pay for it.
