  • To try and control impulse shopping, I immediately grab an item I think I want.

    I will continue shopping for things I actually want/need, until I look at or feel for the thing I originally grabbed. I will lose sense of interest of grabbing it and put it back.

    It takes practice and time. Especially works if you know, are low on money anyways. The idea of this is, to get you thinking about what it is about that thing that made you want it and whether it would have any use or make you happy having it.

    If it doesn’t after the time you’ve been having it around, be it holding it or in the cart, then it wasn’t meant to be. It was simply an impulse.









  • We are being distracted from the bigger picture.

    The bigger picture being is, look at how much corruption is dominating us. We’ve been played, we’re continually being played and it seemingly looks like we’re always going to be played. The more time we take up to social media, to complain about something we absolutely disagree about with how things are ran and in hopes they ‘read what they say’. Well, that’s giving them more leverage because we’re screaming into the void and only getting just virtual pats on the back.

    And it’s like, we KNOW what is wrong, we KNOW who is the problem and we KNOW exactly how everyone feels. But, we allow ourselves to be distracted by what? A Super Bowl half time performance? It’s like we’re all too busy looking for things to cope with than brainstorming how we’re going to get ourselves out of this mess.

    The more we choose to cope, the more we’re allowing them to get even more of a stranglehold on us.
