Struggling to find the middle ground between survival mode and overspending. How do I build discipline now?

I recently got a stable job after being unemployed for months, and I’ve noticed I’ve been spending a concerning amount on food delivery only two weeks into the job.

During unemployment, there were times I genuinely had to stop myself from spending money on food even when I was hungry or craving something simple. Now that I can finally afford it again, I think I’m overcompensating for that period of deprivation.

The reason I’m concerned is because if I’m already acting this way now, I feel like this could become a much bigger problem in the future especially since I’m now earning more than I did at my previous job. I don’t want food spending and convenience habits to end up causing financial strain for me later on just because I finally have access to things I couldn’t comfortably afford before.

I’m also getting back into working out and trying to rebuild healthier habits overall, both financially and physically. I’ve been trying to stop relying so much on food delivery, but I keep falling short and slipping back into the habit.

I wanted to ask if anyone else here experienced this kind of rebound spending after a long period of financial stress or deprivation. How did you manage it before it became a long-term habit?

I went from food insecurity to overspending on food delivery and I’m trying to stop it early

I recently got a stable job after being unemployed for months, and I’ve noticed I’ve been spending a concerning amount on food delivery only two weeks into the job.

PLS HELP ME FIND THIS MANHUA

The story is about the MC transmigrating to ancient China to look after the ML so he wouldn’t get killed. When the MC first arrived, the ML was being bullied and treated badly, so the MC took care of him.

As the story progresses, the ML grows up and eventually becomes a king/emperor. The MC believes he turned out to be a good person, but in reality the ML is still evil/manipulative underneath.

Does anyone know the title?

Hi, I'm newbto Monday.com at all like I have no prior experience to anything similar to this but I'm asked to create a new workflow that can help simplify the process for everyone. I already know the basics of Monday.com which was surprisingly pretty easy but now I'm looking into automations, ai workflow so I can improve our data.

I have no idea where to start basically, I'm looking for YouTube videos to watch and there's so much but since I'm not yet familiar with it I don't know the proper terminology so I can look it up.

I tried monday academy but it doesn't fit my learning style at all so i prefer to watch videos but really what tips or tricks or any advice at all can you give me that will help improve our process it does not need to be complicated because tge goal ia to makebit as simple for everyone, clean the data (no need for something very technical or too technical)

Where do i start? what video suggestions do you think I should watch?

The already have work management set up but like they said it's too much data, they literally built everything they just need me to make it simple, straightforward and have everyone use Monday to the best of its abilities.

Tldr: They don't want me to start from scratch what they want frlm is take their existing boards etc and make it more efficient and straightforward for usage therefore one look and everyone will understand what everything is all about, they wnat me to make their existing process better.

Thank you, looking forward to your responses.

I just want to start off by saying I'm really grateful to actually get this job because I've beeb looking for one for almost a whole year. I left my job because it was toxic for my mental health and I had that numb feeling of my life feeling like I had no purpose. During those months that I was unemployed I still had that feeling because I was anxious to get a job because I had little savings.

Recently I was finally able to start my own niche of business but I wasn't getting any customers at all so I was earning zwro but I kept applying for jobs but at that point I didn't even care because I was so happy

Then two weeks later a call came that I got the job I know i should be happy but I'm not, that nagging feeling of going back to work is starting to take a toll on me because I have to work again. Great thing is that it's remote but I feel like the job is too much of a responsibility.

I'm scared that I won't be able to make time for my own business anymore, that I'll be consumed by work again and be unhappy. I guess I feel that way because my previous job felt like that. But it's not like I can walk away from it just because of how I feel, I'd be sabotaging myself.

I don't know, I guess I'm just really scared because I don't know what to expect. Has anyone ever felt that way? that dread of having to go to work?

The pay ia nice, amazing benefits but i came to realize what's money if I'm not happy?

I feel like there so much more to life than working you know? Anyway, if you've ever experienced something similar how we're you able to fix that? what did you have to do to get back on track again and lock in?
