Mindful Consumption Tip #1 (even if you are not a minimalist)

Whether or not, you are a minimalist, we could all do better if we consumed mindfully.

When contemplating whether to purchase an item that you may not really need or that is expensive, take a picture of it or bookmark it if it’s an online store. Wait two days and take a look at the image or bookmark.

Ask yourself the following questions…

• I am buying this on a whim? Is this an emotional purchase?
• Do I really need this item?
• Will I use this item 2 weeks from now?

If you really need the item after a set waiting period.  Go ahead and purchase it.  Remember, you are in control.
