‘Life was a lot simpler when what we honored was father and mother, rather then all major credit cards.’
-Robert Orben, magician, comedy writer
Are you a person who shops too much? Are you worried about your debts? Do you buy things impalsively, on emotion?
Saying “no” to impulsive shopping is a huge step in the direction of healthy self-care.
Set yourself up to be successful by stashing your credit cards someplace where they won’t be easy to get to.
How to:
Take all your credit cards and put them in a jar of water. Then put jar in a freezer. Be sure not to fasten the jar lid tighthly-leave it loose because water expends as it freezes and you don’t want the jar to brake.
When you got the impulse to use your cards to go shoping, take then minutes to think about why you want to buy something.
Be honest with yourself. Is this urge to buy something by real needs, or by emotions and feeling? If at the end of ten minutes you still want to go shopping, you can unfreeze your cards an go, of course.
The purpose of it to help you to be conscious of what’s really driving your behavior, and to distinguish between “needs” and “wants.”
