    I can relate to this, currently I’m stuck in the “nothing really matters” mode because I had attached so much worth to possessions. I know it will be hard to make this a new normal and to find a healthy balance but watching this is reassuring because if on your scale you are finding balance, then how could I not? I appreciate your vulnerability & I’m happy to see you smile 💜

    Well done for realising you have a problem and doing something about it. I have my own shopping demons. I found that practicing gratitude helps, but when you couple that with being genuinely happy for other people, recognising that what they (appear to) have does not take away from you in any way. For me, that was the key to contentment.

  • @fkg902
    @fkg902 3 года назад +44

    This is so relatable! I was always "rewarding" myself OR I had a rough day so I needed to "treat myself" and like you mentioned, was just super impulsive. It all boiled down to my mental health and once I received the right diagnosis this year and started getting treatment everything changed. I love how relatable you can be ! Thanks for this video

  • @meghannicole1474

    As a fellow Christian, I think that realization during the shopping spree was a sign from God that the impulsive spending had to be gone in order for you to not only be happier, but to help show you that life is not about materialistic things.
