Are You A Compulsive Shopper?

Are you one of those people who uses ‘retail therapy’ to feel better about themselves? It is believed that compulsive shopping is on the increase. This could be due to the increase of anxiety in the general population but may also be because of the increase in availability of credit facilities.

This study suggests that a high percentage of the UK’s population who are currently working are struggling financially. Compulsive shoppers can fall into serious debt and potentially lose everything.

The ease of being able to purchase clothing and other items on the internet has caused this addiction to explode.

Many of these people have items hidden away, many still with their tags on.

Compulsive shoppers purchase goods to feel better about themselves and reduce their anxiety as they usually have self-esteem issues. A feeling of excitement is experienced when they purchase their items. This feeling of euphoria is very temporary, however, and is soon replaced by guilt and shame.

If your credit cards are maxxed out and you need help with this addiction, give me a call on 0409 254 500 so you can get it sorted.

Do You Have Social Anxiety and No Friends?

Social anxiety is challenging to live with, isn’t it? I’ve heard social anxiety described as like living with a nasty voice in your head forever reminding you that you’re not good looking enough, not clever enough, not savvy enough, others will be judging you harshly… and so it goes on. Nonstop.

All of us deep down want friends in our lives. So how do you make friends if you feel safer curled up on the sofa, binge watching another Netflix series? After all, if you’re home alone you can’t be rejected by people you meet, can you?

If you do go out then, when you get home, there’s every chance you’ll be replaying the evening in your mind, word for word, analysing what was said and how others were judging you (and you always falling short of course!). Research published in the Journal of Abnormal Psychology says that socially anxious people overestimate how bad their relationships are with colleagues and friends as opposed to how others view the same relationship.

A good way to start is to join a group of like-minded people. Meetup have a huge range to choose from and, when you have a common interest, it gives you something to talk about that you feel comfortable discussing. The other benefit of Meetup is that if you don’t like the group, you can just not go back.

If you’re struggling to get out at all then do call me for a chat. It’s time for you to live the life you deserve!

Smoking For 40 Years Costs $500,000!

Smoking. It’s expensive, isn’t it? With all that money you could have purchased a house. Does that shock you?

Cigarettes are now $29.00 for a pack of 25 cigarettes in Victoria. In September 2019 they will increase by 12.5%; in September 2020 they will increase another 12.5% meaning you’ll be paying an eye-watering $37.33 a packet.

Cigarette prices in Australia are the highest in the world and the average household spends more on tobacco than on their cars, takeaway food, utilities, phones or holidays.

If you smoke a pack a day for 40 years you will have wasted close on $500,000 – and that’s just at today’s prices.

Many smokers are turning to vaping as this has been promoted as a healthy way to stop smoking. Recent research, however, shows that they are discovering many unhealthy side effects with vaping.

Wouldn’t it be wise to just stop? If you’re really serious about becoming a non-smoker (not an ex-smoker) give me a call on 0409 254 500.

Your lungs deserve it. And so does your bank account.
