Summary

It's been a long time since I've posted. I've been doing a lot of reading and writing. I hope you've been enjoying it.

The author has been cutting back on her coffee intake. She says it has helped her feel better about herself and her life. Now she wants to share her story with the world.

30 days into the Coffee Challenge I then took on a 31 day Meditation Challenge, and then a 21-day Inversion Challenge. And then a No Internet on Your Phone Challenge.

21 Day Inversion Challenge – this is a yoga challenge a friend of mine and I did together, but even if you’re not into yoga you could try it (just be careful!). With this challenge all you have to do is get upside down once a day which is supposedly really good for you.

In a nutshell, you just stop opening up any apps outside of those made for communication. I’d bet I use the phone at least 50% less now!

At the end of 12 months I had saved $5,484.07 and forever cut out $200/mo going forward. Half of it coming from swapping cell phone carriers alone which netted me $100+/mo.
