It really is the darn phone
Really proud of myself for not buying any clothes/shoes/accessories for 3 weeks. I know that’s not even that much time but I was shopping online almost daily. I had also deleted instagram off my phone for the past week and have had TikTok deleted for months. Then two days ago I redownloaded instagram, started scrolling again constantly, then yesterday impulse purchased 3 things on Depop. I feel like I really failed. Social media immediately got to me again and I started comparing myself to everyone. I want to eventually have a healthy relationship with social media because I like seeing what my friends are up to, but I need to be able to break this cycle. I also just want clothes and shopping to take up less of my brain space, and focus on what’s really important to me. How do I shift my mindset?
