I used to struggle a lot with compulsive shopping, often buying things on impulse and then feeling guilty afterward. What really helped me was adopting an intentional approach to what I buy. For example, before making any purchase, I started asking myself if I truly needed the item or if it was just an emotional impulse. Creating a shopping list and sticking to it also made a big difference. It helped me avoid wandering into aisles or browsing online shops without a plan, which usually triggered more spending. Another technique that worked for me was setting a waiting period—waiting 24 or 48 hours before buying something non-essential to see if I still wanted it after some time. One important mindset shift was recognizing that being intentional with my purchases didn't mean depriving myself, but rather buying with awareness and purpose. This aligned well with the idea captured by the phrase "Se intencional con lo que compras y haces" (Be intentional with what you buy and do). By sharing my experience, I hope others dealing with compulsive buying can find practical steps to regain control and enjoy shopping as a mindful activity rather than a source of stress or regret.
