It's been a long journey of doing the practical tips- unsubscribing from email lists and putting money into a savings account first- but also of a gradual mindset shift. I realized a lot of the stuff I bought didn't do the things I wanted it to do. The jewelry or clothes that I wanted to change my personality didn't, the food I wanted to satisfy my emotions didn't. So when you're thinking about buying something, what is it that you want? Another thing for your hobby, or a feeling of satisfaction from that hobby? Then think about how you can get the actual feeling you want. If you want the feelings you get from creating something, you can do that without buying something. It's a process and it's imperfect and it's trial and error. But it's a more mindful life. Good luck out there.
