20 Affirmations for when you are shopping compulsively
/Clutter affects our mental, physical and emotional health. Often clutter is created by compulsive shopping or mindless spending. Many of us use shopping as a coping mechanism to combat stress, trauma or abuse. 56% of Americans do not have enough money in the bank to pay for a $1000 emergency. Most wouldn’t be able to pay for something as simple as needing new tires, a root canal, or a speeding ticket. Debt and physical clutter have a direct link. Income is an important aspect of financial freedom, but so are spending habits. Impulsive spending, especially if it exceeds income levels and creates debt, often leads to feelings of guilt, insecurity and becomes a financial strain. Affirmations are a powerful tool to change negative thinking patterns. Here are 20 Affirmations that will help you challenge compulsive spending:
I have everything I need
Things don’t define me
Less stuff means less cleaning and maintaining
There will always be another sale
Paying off credit will give me more financial freedom
My time and money are valuable
Relationships and experiences bring me more joy than material things
Stuff does not love me back
I am creating a life of abundance without excess ”stuff”
I can achieve financial independence
I can pay off my credit cards
I am getting better at saying “no” to mindless shopping
I am learning to let go of toxic habits
I am happy with the life I have built
My home feels peaceful when it is simply tidy
I have the choice to choose peace over clutter
I will go for a walk when I feel stressed instead of going shopping
My bank account will thank me for not spending money on stuff today
I am smart, healthy and financially savvy.
I will use coping strategies that don’t require spending money
