Relieve Your Anxiety by Window Shopping
When I feel anxious, I always am looking for other ways to calm down. One thing that I found helps is looking around on shopping websites. Even if I don't have any money to my name, this is always so relieving!
I go to websites that I like and look at their new merchandise. I get lost within the sales, look around at the silly trends, and just let the shopping take my mind off of the anxiety. It serves as a great distraction since you are gawking at all of the cute stuff.
This could work for anyone, because if you go looking for anything you like, you could get sales in the meantime! I sign up for ever shop I look at so I get deals and clearances to my email. I save things in my wishlistsso that if I do get some money to spare, I can buy it eventually. I just find it to be a great relief.
If you're the type to get stressed about not having the money, then maybe this is not for you. But for those just looking to take their mind off of things, I always find this to be my go-to.
I love doing this as well. I even put items in my virtual shopping basket to make me feel like I'm really shopping. Sometimes if you do this and leave items in there, you will get an email giving you a discount to buy items in your abandoned bag. I also like shopping on Amazon and just adding things to my wishlist. I can get lost doing this, which is a good thing when I'm anxious.
Interesting idea, thanks for sharing!
It's great that this works for you!
Unfortunately, it does not work for me. :( I have to try and avoid shopping when I'm stressed because I'll buy everything I see. One issue just triggers the other.
