Nudge Challenge Week 83 = Shoes
NUDGED: "Wear different shoes every day"
BACKSTORY: This nudge comes from Kathleen's 2.0 list of nudges and it intrigued me. While I own many pairs of shoes, I tend wear the same ones most of the time. Tackling this nudge would be a way for me to get my feet out of their literal comfort zone and try different shoes! It would also be a great way to "pair down" what I have or see if I need to invest in more....

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE WEEK: Each day this past week, I wore a different pair of shoes. Some days, I wore two different pairs of shoes - dressy shoes during the day and casual shoes in the evening. I actually didn't have any difficulty rotating my selection. I could always find a new pair to wear.
It was actually very comfortable for me to wear different shoes, with the exception of my new leopard-print flats. That pair was something very different for me than what I usually wear, but I soon adjusted and really liked the look of them!
LESSONS LEARNED: There was a gap between expectation and reality for me this week. I expected to struggle with this nudge and proclaim I need to buy more shoes...but the reality was that I have more than enough.
I counted and found I have 33 pairs (not including sandals, flip-flops or formal occasion shoes). That means I could wear a different pair each day for five weeks. Enough. I have enough shoes. I need to wear them (if they are comfortable!) and be grateful for what I have.
NEXT UP: My new nudge is "make a craft from Pinterest". Looking over my complete list of nudges, I actually found this nudge listed three times! It is something I always want to do, but never move beyond saving cute craft ideas on Pinterest. This week, it is time to create!
