    I needed this soo much. I shop whenevere i am stressed and unhappy or bored. I have plenty and still feel a void! Even though the initial rush is pure dopamine the after effects leave u feeling like a deflated balloon!

    Stress + watching TH-cam videos of my favourite influencers = death to my willpower and my wallet. I really enjoy watching the videos as I love new ideas on how to style clothes; but then i end up not having an item that is a "crucial" part of the look and whaddaya know; she adds to cart again. I hate how weak I am in this area and I have resold SO many items of clothing that I bought on impulse; at a fraction of what I paid for them. I think we are always trying to fill another need / void when we shop. And it never works. Especially with clothes, there is always "the next thing" that you really believe is going to be that thing that gives you the perfect wardrobe.

    I needed this! I shop whenever I feel really bored since not much going on at home during lockdown. Thank you for the tips!

    Great video! I'm JUST getting to the point where I'm seeing my behavior change. A normal hobby of mine was to visit thrift stores on days off, even when I don't need anything. Today I was on the way there out of boredom and I actually stopped myself and turned around after telling myself I don't need anything new. Baby steps!

    a great idea is to store away some of your clothes and when you need a new clothing excitement just take them back. re-seeing them after forgetting about them is a very similar feeling to getting a new clothing.

    What helps me(I still fail when I see something soooooo feminine and fabulous) is I think about what will I be willing to get rid of/sell/give away in exchange for buying this new item. Since I’ve pretty much minimized my wardrobe to the MAX and it still takes up my whole closet, it keeps me from buying things when I already own something that serves the same purpose and is a similar style.

    I work at a popular clothing store. We actually are coached by our manager to use “phrases that pay” to make people spend more money. Such as “check the app to see if you have an discount codes” or “if you sign up with us you get 10% off your first order” and “oh did you check out those cute accessories? They’re on sale for $5” I HATE DOING IT. It’s so embarrassing and I feel so bad but like… I’m forced to do it

    • @user-wc6bl4zs4i

      So basically even if you go to in person shopping, you’re still going to be pressured to buy and buy from the sales associates

    One thing that I do is creating an album of my belongings in my phone. I tend to shop for clothes and bags the most so I will take out each of these items I have and take a picture then put it back in place.
    Whenever I was tempted to shop online or in person, I scroll through the album which reminds me of how much items I have and the time I took to arrange these items.
    Also I would watch decluttering /minimalist videos whenever I want to shop😂

    Waiting to buy an item definitely works for me. I also like to take a picture of the thing I want to buy. I look at it once in a while to imagine if I would really wear it / use it. And often the crave to buy passes after time.

    When I find something cool I give myself three days or more to think about the reasons I shouldn't buy more things I don't need. Money saved!

    idk why but I just couldn't stand shopping clothes in store.. I always wanna leave ASAP. bcos I have this idea in my head, where are these garments gonna go once the period done... landfill. so i imagine this clothing store as landfill. I know this is such a ridiculous analogy 😂😂 with that being said, it keeps me not buying clothes lol. instead I would just go online and become more mindful with my purchase. my why is almost the same as you 🙂 my bad habit was I would go to h&m weekly and see what's good. would buy anything I find interesting. nowadays I don't even wanna go inside h&m!! just disgusted by their company philosophy. and the quality is extremely bad

    What if you wait days from wanting the item initially and you’re still thinking about it? Does that mean you should get it or walk away?

    • @CatchyCravings
      @CatchyCravings  ปีที่แล้ว

      I think if you waited a while and still feel really drawn to it, it might be a sign that it isn't an impuls buy and might be "right" to buy it. For me waiting periods can really differ, sometimes I will crave it for a week, but in the end still regret buying it, but sometimes it is a sign that it makes sense to buy it. Go with your intuition, and with each decision you make, you learn more about yourself for next time :) there is no hard rule on waiting it out :)

    • @CatchyCravings
      @CatchyCravings  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      don't beat yourself up about it :) you are not alone in this! I know you can beat this bad habit :) start with your weakness, what tempts you the most and eliminate that (maybe browsing online) and maybe you have a friend that is willing to do a no shopping challenge :) start small and try not to buy things for 2-3 months :) and have a little positive reward for yourself when you've completed the challenge (maybe pizza night, or a self care day :) hope this helped
