SAMPLE: Avoiding The 3 Thought Patterns That Fuel Overconsumption 1. Emotional Avoidance We often tell ourselves we’re buying something for legitimate reasons, but really it’s a little release, a dopamine hit, a distraction, a means of numbing. We use it to create short-term pleasure that helps numb underlying emotions—leaving us with unprocessed emotions, depleted bank accounts, and overfilled homes. Learn how to face your feelings and stave off clutter. 2. Scarcity Thinking Have you maxed out your budget during a sale by one of your favorite retailers because you convinced yourself they would never run a sale that good again? This is scarcity thinking: the belief that resources will run out. Buying new things and keeping old ones leaves us physically burdened and emotionally overwhelmed by the volume of things we’ve accumulated. Practice recognizing how widely available most resources are when you really need them - and how infrequently you do. 3. The Comparison Game People tend to document only the highlights of their lives and throw a filter on reality. The more we look, the more we want our lives to mirror what we see. Just like emotional avoidance and scarcity thinking, the comparisons we draw inside our heads drive our desire to spend, acquire, and accumulate in pursuit of a lifestyle we don't need and that isn't real. Find exercises for training your brain to appreciate what you have, and recognize when something isn't valuable.
