How to do it
Take a walk through your home. As you go, look out for five possessions that you feel thankful for. You might notice things you use frequently, or items that have always been reliable over the years.
Why it matters
Researchers have found that accumulating stuff is like walking on a treadmill: we keep purchasing to feel the excitement of having something new. Sound tiring? Giving credit to the things you already own can give you a break from wanting more - and help you appreciate what you already have
I don't have a lot of stuff. Here's what I noticed just looking around my room:
1) My cintiq- It's a second computer screen that allows me to draw right on the screen into my computer programs (usually photoshop). They are pretty expensive, but I bought mine cheap a few years ago. A real life-saver. CLICK HERE to see some stuff I've drawn with it.
2) My tablemates- They are portable adjustable tray tables that I ordered from an infomercial years ago. I use them at home and at shows to make my drawing set up mobile and agile. Click here to order yours, with my recommendation!
3) HP Scanner- I bought my first laptop over ten years ago. It came with a scanner/printer that I still use.
4) Clippers- Haven't paid for a haircut since 2007.
5) lightbox- When I draw on paper, I can be messy on sketches, then trace them cleanly onto another sheet using my light box. I ordered a used one on Amazon in 2012, and I HIGHLY recommend it.. It paid for itself in less than a week.
Anyways, I'm grateful I have been able to find and acquire these tools to enrich my life.
