Single By The Decade (Another Decade) Day:

It started in 2019, when I realized that "Singles Day" was a thing. Single By The Decade starts on the morning of your birthday, in each consecutive multiple of ten.

Tradition:

1. Wake up.

2. Look around.

3. Fluff your/my pillow.

4. Sigh/stretch (Let any residual sadness/gloom flow through and away from you).

5. Get up and do something. Anything that keeps you/me busy.

6. Have a breakfast you've always wanted but never had the time for.

7. Listen to upbeat music all day.

8. Listen to a hilarious audiobook over lunch or with dinner.

9. Drink tea or coffee out of a glass instead of a mug.

10. Dress up or dress down to the extreme (cozy clothes). Nothing in between.

The point is to feel like a QUEEN/KING or like you own the day and don't owe it anything.

11. Allow yourself ONE (1) guilty pleasure snack.

12. Turn off your phone/computer if at all possible. No interruptions.

13. Absolutely DO NOT buy anything that day. Emotions may get in the way and cause you to spend money you never intended on. Which could affect future finances and emotions. Resist the urge to splurge.

14. Be kind to yourself. Forgive yourself. Remind yourself that you are enough.

I'm so doing this next decade. :D
