Are You Addicted to Shopping
It's easy to make light of the problem, but people with experience know it's no laughing matter. As Grace, a recovering shopaholic from Virginia explains, "When I was going through a particularly difficult and unhealthy dating relationship,[url=http://giuseppezanottidiscountshoes.webmium.com/][b]giuseppe zanotti boots Online Store[/b][/url], I was into splurging on clothes shopping. A new outfit always makes me feel a little better about myself,[url=http://giuseppezanottioutlet.webmium.com/][b]discount Giuseppe Zanotti outlet Free Shipping[/b][/url], but in this case,[url=http://parajumpersjacketonline.webmium.com/][b]Parajumpers down jackets sale[/b][/url], I was trying to prove to myself and to [him] that I was desirable and beautiful."
In other words, shopping addictions bring up issues of self-esteem, self-worth, and other hefty feelings. If you find yourself slipping towards shopaholic tendencies and want to regain control, ask yourself the following nine questions.
Who can I talk to about this? Sharing your problem with friends can get them on your side. Instead of proposing a weekend afternoon at the mall, they'll be more likely to suggest a night in instead. Whether you're talking with a trusted friend or partner,[url=http://duveticaaustraliaoutlet.halod.com/][b]duvetica jackets aliaoutlet outlet[/b][/url], give enough details so they understand the depth of the problem. Admit how much you have spent shopping in the past six months,[url=http://duveticaitaliaoutlet.webmium.com/][b]duvetica outlet[/b][/url], how much credit card debt you have,[url=http://parajumpersjacketonline.webmium.com/][b]Parajumpers outlet[/b][/url], and just how far you have fallen from being a responsible spender.
What is going through my mind while I shop? Some shopaholics report an internal dialogue that only makes the situation worse. They may be telling themselves things like,[url=http://giuseppezanottioutlet.webmium.com/][b]http://giuseppezanottioutlet.webmium.com/[/b][/url], "You're not pretty enough . But this dress makes you prettier." In her book Hot (Broke) Messes,[url=http://giuseppezanottidiscountshoes.webmium.com/][b]Giuseppe Zanotti Design Online Store[/b][/url], Nancy Trejos explains how the insecurity she struggled with for years helped contribute to overspending.
What else could I be doing that would make me happy? Schedule activities to fill the time you would usually find yourself shopping it's playing softball, joining a book club,[url=http://giuseppezanottioutlet.webmium.com/][b]discount Giuseppe Zanotti outlet[/b][/url], taking cooking classes,[url=http://parajumpersjacketonline.webmium.com/][b]http://parajumpersjacketonline.webmium.com/[/b][/url], or something else. Distracting yourself from old habits can be a key step towards recovery.
Who can I bring with me? Bring that trusted friend along with you when you do have to go shopping. That way,[url=http://kevindurantshoesforsalecheap.blogspot.com/][b]kevin durant shoes for sale[/b][/url], if you're out looking for new sneakers but find yourself drawn to the knee-high boots, she'll set you straight.
Do I need a time-out? Emotions can often drive spending,[url=http://duveticaouterwear.webmium.com/][b]Duvetica Down Jackets For Women sale online store[/b][/url], especially in an overstimulating environment such as a shopping mall. Before you make an impulse purchase, consider taking a few minutes to walk outside,[url=http://parajumpersjacketonline.webmium.com/][b]Parajumpers jackets outlet[/b][/url], or even waiting 24 hours. You might find that the desire to make a purchase has evaporated. Asking yourself if you will still like the item six months from now can also help.
What are my goals? If your goal is to be a homeowner in five years, or to purchase a car next year,[url=http://duveticaaustraliaoutlet.halod.com/][b]duvetica jackets aliaoutlet[/b][/url], then you probably want to stop spending on little items so you can save up for the big ones. Beyond a quick glance at our credit card statements each month,[url=http://duveticaouterwear.webmium.com/]http://duveticaouterwear.webmium.com/[/b][/url], most of us don't bother tracking how we're spending money. That means we might not realize that our grocery expenses have suddenly skyrocketed, or our utility bills have doubled. It can also warn you once you get close to your target budget for the month.
Do I do something everyday that wastes money? It might be a cab ride, lunches, or a six-pack of beer. These types of small, daily expenditures add up, and by the end of month, you could be out $100 or more. He argues that if you invested the money instead of spending it, you could eventually become a millionaire.相关的主题文章：
