Just go shopping (Royal Institute: Shopping) It really helps reduce stress! But be careful not to shop too much. Unconsciously more tense than before in the field of psychology, we call this shopping trip “retail therapy” or shopping therapy for the mind. This is very normal and common all over the world.
Researchers at Pennsylvania State University conducted a survey on this topic and found that 62 percent of participants said that going shopping improves your mood.
The reason why shopping puts us in a better mood is that going out to buy things or choosing different products brings us back to focusing on what is in front of us. Instead of focusing on the suffering it also makes us feel powerful within ourselves. Who want to decide to buy anything and feel like we are in control of our lives
However, if we spend money without spending much, it may lead to more stress than before. Because there is not enough money to pay for other things, or the situation is getting worse due to “debt.”
So, you can go shopping to relieve stress. But don't forget to manage your budget well, and doing retail therapy does not require you to purchase large items. Or always buy expensive things. Just buying a small item worth just a few baht can make you feel better.
Because it is a good way to relieve stress. It should be a method that does not cause more problems. And buy things you really like or have already bought that actually work. It will make you happier.
