July New Thought 2023
A little bit recap for individuals who have forgotten.
This yr I’m aiming to thunk 5 samples/decants every week. Extra if attainable, there’s a tonne of them right here to be handled. Each thunk known as a WIN, as a result of let’s face it who doesn’t want a number of additional wins? These are simple wins however hopefully will give us all a way of accomplishment that can carry over into day by day life.
How It Works
- It doesn’t matter what measurement the pattern or decant it solely counts as ONE win.
- To depend as a win the decant MUST be thunked. Yeah, I do know however that is how I’m enjoying it. You may have your personal guidelines in the event you like.
- Multiples in a day are acceptable. So, in the event you empty one thing within the morning, one other after work and one other earlier than mattress that counts as THREE wins.
- Producer Journey Measurement isn’t a pattern or decant.
- On the finish of every efficiently accomplished month I’m allowed to reward myself with a splurge from ONE fragrance retailer. Yeah that’s proper. Positive you should purchase 20 issues if it makes you cheerful but it surely must be ONE etailer or retailer in ONE TRANSACTION.
I’m going to rejoice by freely giving a US$50 Present Voucher to Surrender To Chance for each profitable month to 1 fortunate random commenter. Cool eh?
