Take a break with a buddy
Alone is also alone, so if taking a break is difficult for you, consider asking a buddy to join you. Someone who is going through the same as you can be of great support. You share the difficult moments and experience the benefits together. The chances of a successful break period increase with a buddy for the following reasons…
- A buddy is a good stick to keep it going. He does it, so do you.
- You have a reason to persevere when you support someone else.
- You can provide each other with tips and advice.
- Together you can determine a reward, a savings goal or a charity, where you want to spend your saved money.
- You always have someone who wants to listen to you, because your buddy is in the same process.
- Participating together can ensure healthy competition. That keeps it interesting!
- It gives your contact a new depth.
Did any of your family members or friends say that trying IkPas is something they would like to do? Inviting them to give it a try might just be the motivation they need to embark on their own dry journey. Even if none of your friends have shown an interest, the people you're going to tell about your challenge, or your supporters, may still want to join you if you let them know. You can register until January 6!
In the preparation together
Once you've decided who you're going to go through the break period with, talk about how you're going to support each other, what your expectations are, and whether you'd like to set a savings goal together? Don't have a buddy and are you going to brave the break period alone? You will find it on IkPas forum where you find support from other participants and also the diary can help vent your thoughts and feelings.
