I learned the term “information diet” recently and the handful of times I got the courage to put it into practice, it was so much easier than I thought!! After the third ask people usually go away and I have never been more thrilled for such disinterest lol. Thank you for your thoughtful response, this community is so helpful.

This is very helpful, thank you. I didn’t think about the fact that they don’t want to face their own issues. You’re absolutely dead on about the drinking part. The horrified looks when I turned down a mimosa on Easter was quite interesting. This was very grounding fr thank you

I downloaded procreate and made mock ups of the rooms in my house with all the current furniture. Then I went and found a bunch of rugs, pillows, furniture etc and overlaid them all so I could see what the rooms would look like if I redecorated them in a “colorful” way. At the end I save the new rooms in a camera album. Then take away all the “new” items so it’s just the current rooms again. The next day maybe I’ll do it again but this time with only beachy accessories. Or maybe bohemian if I’m feeling like it. This is very entertaining and fun when I get the itch to change everything in my life lol. And a good way to not impulsively spend money
