“If I don’t need it, do not buy it”. I have to repeat that in the mind whenever I feel the urge to spend money.
It takes practice!
I can't argue with my self. I will always find a very good reason why I actually really need it.
Best method I found so far is not to go to the mall.
I realized I may be a shopping addict, when I started dreaming about shopping and I woke up feeling happy and euphoric.
Decluttering was the best thing for me to realize my shopping habits and now I’m more aware of what I bring in and really appreciate what I have. Great video!
I could stop buying clothes and books for 3 years and not be even close to running out. I do a spreadsheet for my spending now. And slowly I have cut down my shopping so much. It's crazy how much I justified spending bc it was little purchases but it adds up. I saved up much more. And I like seeing my bankaccount do better. I started to use up my skin products and parfume. But I noticed with clothes and bags, while I use more of my clothes now when things get worn out I still have my favorites and don't wear everything. Also I stopped online shopping completely.
Shopping addictions are real! I developed one during the pandemic & breaking it has been tough. Unsubscribing from marketing emails has really helped & I've decluttered my closet multiple times. I used to do hauls on my channel & even stopped those because it was hurting my finances and adding more to my already small apartment. Things are getting better but the self-discipline is a tough piece to work on as I'm not getting those dopamine hits from shopping like before. I created a checking account that's just for the "fun" things that I'll contribute to & if the money isn't there for what I want, then I can't have it.
Wow this video really hit home! I’m currently trying to quit my shopping addiction! It’s gone on for years and gives me so much anxiety. We are constantly broke because I literally can’t stop online shopping! This video game me great tips that I will implement on my journey! Thank you so much!
I know how you feel. You are not alone. We can change. We are worthy of releasing ourselves from this burden
Great video, a lot of us really can benefit from this insight. Something we should all take note of is the way advertisers very often help us create excuses for mindless impulse purchases, while using timers, countdowns, and other fake scarcity tactics to convince us not to wait until we think better of it. They'll say "treat yourself, you deserve it!" and tell you that buying their product is all in the name of "self-care"...even if you weren't even considering buying it until you saw the enticing ad. Also, the bizarre mix I often see of the "self-care" angle along with a message that you need their product to fix your very normal "flaws". Understanding these marketing strategies and breaking free of them will go a long way to helping to be more mindful of your habits and take responsibility, it's very empowering.
I was thinking about the clothes I used to 💕 love. I had this one pair of suede combat boots, my best Levi’s and some cute sweaters. I had a suede jacket and a white denim anorak. I loved these clothes and wore them a lot. Now I can’t wear the same thing twice in a month! I woke up one day and opened a Poshmark closet and started selling three closets full (!) of clothes, shoes, and bags. I’m still working on it.
This was good. I keep trying no buys and fail everytime. I want to do a no buy year
This was very wholesome and helped me feel more motivated about life. Thank you for this ❤
I'm happy to hear that!
This is a great video! I absolutely LOVE Eaton Centre; especially at Christmas! And I really appreciate the vulnerability you showed in this video. Thank you for sharing your story and this important message with us, 💛
The b role with the narration was so nicely done, great content!
I bought 3 pairs of trainers today. I have another pair on the way.
Great video! I definitely shop too much, and I think it’s to fill a void. Seeing you shop in the video was interesting because it looked so dull- shops have these ugly bright lights, they’re filled to the brim with things, fashions come and go so fast.. but if you put me in a mall, I get so happy 🙈
Thank you for creating this great motivational video ❤
This video is so so helpful. I’ve been making excuses about how it’s not SO bad.
I have a shopping addiction .. but glad god gave me idea to cope up my addiction .. i’m reseller now i and earned money now
Wishing you much success with your reselling business. That's awesome!
Just bought an impulse purchase in the supermarket and im ao annoyed at myself. It was so last minute. I hate the item on now ive got it home. I have to return it now this week which is another waste of time and effort. I find myself unable to learn the difference between need and want
Hugs 💜
A good rule of thumb is if you have to ask if you need it, you don’t. Most of us really have everything we need and more. A true need will be clear before you even enter a shop. It will be “urgent” vs something that can wait💜
This was truly wonderful in every way: the photography, the editing, your soothing voice… but most importantly the tips and messages about true meaning. A heartfelt thank you from a new subscriber!
Thank you!
These are such practical tips that are really helpful in life in general. Amazing.
Great video - I do not know if this will help me personally but I love all your ideas

Why do videos like this make me want to shop ?
I really wanted to continue watching your video, however, I couldn't, due to the Kim Kim Kardashian sounding voice.
