antharas-light: Anti Impulsive Purchase Pouch As someone who often makes impulsive buying decisions
antharas-light: Anti Impulsive Purchase Pouch As someone who often makes impulsive buying decisions with an ungodly amount of money I don’t have, I needed to find a solution to make me stop. I usually buy new things when I feel lonely or stressed – kind of a way to fill the emptiness. Waiting for all the new stuff to arrive is such an amazing feeling, but… once I hold them in my hands, I feel just as empty as before, while feeling horrible for spending so much money. That’s why I had this little idea of making a little “Anti Impulsive Purchase Pouch”, to remind myself that it’s not always necessary to buy new things, and I wanted to share this little ‘ritual’ with you. Materials I used: Let me tell you one thing first! This little pouch isn’t about a set amount of items that you’ll have to put inside. It’s about you becoming creative with whatever you have at home, so you won’t need to spend any money to do so. I’ve opened all my drawers and digged out several items I found fitting for this very cause, and this was the first step in understanding something important: “I own so many things and I don’t even realize that.” That’s right – sometimes we only look at items we don’t have and feel the urge to buy these, but we often forget all these stunning items we already have at home. So here is what I found for myself: A silvern pouch in which I put all my items. If you don’t have a pouch, you can just use an old sock, or an old shirt, or whatever else you can find! It’s all about creativity, and making the best out of it!A few coins I’d found, because this is all about being aware of how much money I spend, and on what I’ll spend it.A lovely piece of Clear Quartz, charged with my intention to make wise buying decisions from now on. I am someone who asks their crystals for assistance first, and if it feels right, I know this crystal is up to help me!A tiny bell, which, to me, symbolizes an ‘alarm bell’. Whenever I’m close to make a new purchase, I want an alarm bell to ring inside my head that makes me hesitate.A dried leaf of white sage, charged in moonlight. I absolutely love white sage! It makes me feel happy and complete whenever I smell this scent, so of course, it has to go into my little bag!A symbol I’ve drawn with closed eyes. I love making symbols for certain purposes, but I’m not really creative at all! That’s why I just close my eyes and let the pen run down the paper. If I like it, I’ll keep it as my personal symbol for this very reason.And lastly, a key pendant I’d bought years ago. This is the key to self control!I’ve cleansed and charged all these items with sage and intention, because that’s just what I enjoy doing. Let all the negativity out, while performing my own little ritual with the intention to not buy so many things I don’t need anymore. While putting every item slowly into my little bag, I repeated the following affirmations over and over: “I will only buy what I really need.” “I make wise purchase decisions.” “I’m creative with what I have.” “I will think clearly before making a purchase.” After closing the bag, I held it in my hands and moved it close to my heart, then repeated the affirmations yet again while imagining to cast silvern light into it. And once that was done, I put it under my pillow, where I’ll leave it for quite a while. I already keep thinking about it a lot, so I know it works just as intended! -- source link
