There’s nothing quite like the thrill of shopping, especially online shopping. It’s so quick and easy.
It’s less about what you want to buy and more about managing your feelings. We feel the urge to shop when we’re: – Sad – Triggered by something – Angry – Anxious – Bored
When you’re feeling triggered by any of these emotions, remove yourself from any shopping devices and hide away your credit cards. Why not try practising self-care or journaling instead.
Delete them from your phone altogether. This way, you’ll have to make a conscious decision to sit down to the computer to buy something online.
I know it’s inconvenient, but that’s the point. Sometimes the hassle of having to physically get your credit card is enough resistance to slow your online shopping habits!
