5-Minute Try It
Ready to Spend
On your next moment of shopping or spending, try this exercise.
Minute one:
Pause with the item(s) you have ready to purchase.
Ask, "Am I satisfying a need, a want or a rush?"
Minute two:
Bring your attention to your body and notice the sensations, and where they
are located. Do your sensations feel fast and frenetic, or slow and grounded?
Minute three:
Tell yourself you can have anything you need and anything you want.
Imagine you purchase this item or these items.
Minute four:
Intensify this visualization. What happens after your purchase?
When you notice your feelings and body sensations, what are they telling you?
Minute five:
Using your body awareness as a guide, decide on your next action
to purchase or not. Take the action to purchase or not.
Complete your practice by
naming the action as a need or want or rush.
Feel appreciation by being in alignment, no judgment, with your action.
