Your favourite way to “treat yourself” that does not involve money
Hi all, what are some of your favourite ways to treat yourself or do something nice for yourself or your partner or family, that don’t involve spending money?
I know the classic “treat yourself” is buying yourself something, especially something nice or a bit more pricey, or go for a “nice dinner” etc. especially when it’s payday or you’re proud of an achievement or want to spoil someone, and how capitalism has made us automatically make that association. So keen to hear how you treat yourself or make yourself or other people feel appreciated in ways that are anti-capitalist! Mine so far include making a card with a nice personal message if it’s for my partner, doing one of their chores for them, going for a walk in nature together etc. but it’s very hard to find things that don’t involve spending money.. I might also for example get flowers or a plant as they bring joy but don’t contribute as much to consumerism. Feel free to share yours!
Edit: Wow i didn’t expect to get so many responses here thank you all so much! Definitely got a whole list of wonderful ideas now and i love the recurring suggestions of a “no should” day or just taking time to do what you want. Hope it inspires other people too. Thank you wonderful people hope you had a great weekend doing what you love 💓
