Every time you give something away, money loses a little of its grip on you.

Money holds on through the fear of not having enough, and the grip tightens as you get more. Giving interrupts that by proving, in a small practical way, that you can let go and still be fine. Each time you do it, the fear loses a little of its authority. The amount matters much less than the repetition.

Give something away this week while it still costs you a bit, without arranging for anyone to find out. Money, time, the thing you were saving for no particular reason. Notice what happens to the anxiety about having enough once you have shown yourself you can survive having less.
