When attempting to live frugally it is important not to do this from a mental place of lack - 'I can't have this' or 'can't do that' attitudes will not help you. Having lots of 'things' was never going to make you happy anyway - often people find that when they start living more simply they replace all the running about spending with happiness! (Of course you can still have things - you just won't pay so much for them) Many writers have written about the spiritual laws of abundance and positive thinking - 

Little things you can do to develop an abundance attracting and happy state of mind:

1. Count your blessings - a cliché but so true - be thankful for all the good you have in your life - the most important blessings are not always the big shiny ones :)

2. Expect the best (can be difficult to keep up!!) - haven't you noticed how people who are always pessimistic and moaning keep having bad experiences and lots of bad luck? There's a reason - whatever you focus on most is what you attract to you - let it be good stuff! Let your mind dwell on the things you love.

3. Don't let frugality make you mean - you can be generous without being wasteful - what goes around comes around.

4. Be nice to yourself - you deserve it - give yourself little treats whether it's a glass of wine, a bath with candles and essential oils or an hour in the sun with a book - it doesn't have to be a mad shopping spree. In fact frequent over-spending is often the result of some deep emotional unhappiness - the spending won't cure it.

5. Practices like meditation, walks in the country and yoga help to keep you centred and calm.

6. Don't beat yourself up if you fall off the wagon - whether it's with positive thinking or being frugal - forgive yourself and move on.
