Break Your Online Shopping Habit

Over the past year, many people found themselves clicking “add to cart” a little too often. If this is you, don’t worry because you’re definitely not alone. With technology always accessible, it’s easy to find ourselves in an online store. With just a few clicks, your momentary desire for happiness is already ordered.

What happens now, though? What if “add to cart” are still words you see weekly or maybe even daily? With many lockdown restrictions lifted, are the shopaholics beginning to recover, or is the pattern just beginning? Regardless, now is the time to tackle your online shopping habits.

Overcoming excessive shopping begins with stepping away from the source itself: technology. Unplugging has become a crucial step in kicking the cart. In a world with constant pop-up ads, it’s important to monitor your screen time. Tracking your spending habits and facing the total of your receipts are essential steps as well. Be sure to give yourself a “cool-down period” between purchases so you can search for better ways to experience joy in your life.
