Backstory: This one was recommended by a reader (you know who you are—thank you!), and aligns with the Nudges like “Use the good china/silver.” I think it’s about enjoying our treasures and treating ourselves with respect. I’m mean, shoot, if I’d given someone a really special necklace, I’d love to see her wearing it, right? So off I go. Let’s see what this Nudge has in store for us.
P.S. Not into jewelry? Think about what other nice things you have that you don’t enjoy often enough. Maybe this is the week you “splurge” on the fancy box of tea or chocolates. Maybe instead of slaving away in the kitchen every night this week (hello, martyr), you dig into that stash of emergency cash and take you and your loved one(s) out for a nice meal. The key word here is “nice”. What’s something nice you can do for yourself?
This one totally inspires me! I have many pieces of beautiful jewelry that have gone unworn since I became a jeans & t-shirt wearing mother 10 years ago. I always think I will be too conspicuous if I wear something nice to pick up the kids at school. But, as you pointed out, the goal is to feel good about yourself. So, I’m going to nudge myself and wear the good stuff.
