5. Make Changes in Your Daily Routine
If you want to break free from your shopping addiction, you need to make some changes to your daily routine. But before we come up with a few suggestions, here’s an important question: Why do you think you spend so much money on shopping in the first place?
It may be a way of coping with stress, or maybe you have a certain frame of mind when you go to the store. Perhaps you find yourself shopping when you’re going through a tough time. In any case, you should understand the reason why you do that and make some changes to your daily routine.
The best way to start doing that is by keeping a journal, so you can write down all the times you head to the store. Next, figure out why you do that at that particular time. Maybe it has something to do with your daily routine, so a suggestion would be to try changing the order of things you do in a day.
Yet, don’t overlook the reasons why you go shopping; it’s important to understand where the issue comes from. If you need some help changing your routine, consider talking to your loved ones. If you aim to spend more time with them, you may be able to spend less time at the store.
