I find that by having a modest box of decor items packed away ready for rotation I am less likely to seek out new creative endeavours around the house. The box may include frames, bric-a-brac etc. I never have all my decor items out at once so when I rotate them as I wish my environment feels refreshed. Same goes with cushion covers etc. I only keep the things I truly love 😘

I used to shop at malls every weekend which is crazy to think back now. I replaced shopping with creating my own channel and other hobbies I have as well!

This has been on my mind lately, I enjoy crafting but am trying to find a happy balance.

Great video Shannon! My favorite tip is to eliminate shopping as a hobby. Filling my time with other creative endeavors has been so enriching and has helped me to avoid buying unnecessary items. 😄🤗🧡

This is all so true! I used to shop and buy clothing and décor for the house as a creative outlet. A few years ago, I got back into art, which was a long-lost love for me. Since getting back into this creative hobby, I almost never want to shop any more.

I went to drop off 2 bags of donations yesterday and came back with 2 bags of new stuff 😂

Thanks for the good tips. Shipping secondhand... estate sales, fb marketplace, yard sales, thrift stores are my downfall. I too love old stuff especially furniture, but I do find myself getting rid of items I bought six months prior from goodwill and wish o would have thought it through more.

Great suggestions. I think a lot of people use going to the stores as entertainment. Bored?? By not going out shopping all the time; can't believe how much extra time for walking, hiking, reading or a sport. For an occasional lunch with a friend; eat at another location other than a mall.

My new hobby is not shopping...2021 here I go...I do not online shop...So I can not go into stores....I do not need anything

[heidiandthechihuahuas]

Great Video. I can identify with so much of what you have discussed here.

Your little guy is so sweet, he's clutching all his items in fear of mom decluttering them.

[simplesgood]

Hi Shannon, Your little guy kind of stole the camera. 😉 What a sweetie!! It’s a really good idea to replace the thrifting hobby because that is really what thrifting becomes...a hobby. I didn’t know you had a blog!!! I will definitely go find it!!!! I love your videos! I hope you have a great day too!! 🌸

That's how my clutter also accumulated. I'm not a big shopper but I clean houses and all my clients wanted to give me things.

[rowboat]

Social anxiety works for me. If it means interacting with an actual person then I'm far less likely to even consider a purchase. I have to really really want something to be able to overcome my anxiety to initiate a transaction. I desperately need new jeans and I've gone to the store several times but didn't even get as far as trying anything on before I left. Because you know, in case I had to ask to use the change room 🤦‍♀️

[curateddaisies]

The effort to de-clutter things, especially non-food/toiletries is the reason i've decided to slow down as well. I can't even trash them, they're either clothing and shoes that should be donated or e-waste! So before i can get the time to go donate or find recycling places, they sit on my floor and don't allow me to enjoy the 'free' space. i feel like buying nothing except food from now on. I also have to write a sentence justifying the purchase and stating there is no other product available.
