Have a Better Life

Have you already made the arrangements for the New Years’ Eve? Have you thought about a special place to welcome the year 2008? If you haven’t, you still have a couple of weeks to do so. Don’t leave it to the last days because you can find everything booked. If you prefer the mountains check the Pigeon Forge cabin rentals if you prefer the sunny beaches and warm temperatures you can always go to Maui, Cancun or other tropical destination. No matter where you will be welcoming the New Year I hope you will be having fun.

If you can’t hold your shopping impulse each time you go by a window store it’s because you have a problem.

According to a recent European study one third of the adult consumers can’t control shopping impulse. This report reveals some of the causes why this happens:

• A high level of anxiety in the moment of the purchase
• Personal dissatisfaction, boredom, and in some cases, depressive situations.
• Vulnerability to publicity that connect consume with happiness, success and prestige.
• Going to the shop is like a waste time program

To overcome this vice:

• First step is recognize that you have a vice
• Group therapies can be very helpful but the comprehension and care from your family and friends have a more important role. They can can be a kind of tutors that convince you to leave the credit card at home
• Don’t give children and teens everything they want, first it is a bad example and second they tend to be shopping addicted adults.

I can’t say I haven’t had my Christmas Gift yet. I bought it back in June but for me it meant Birthday and Christmas present, my Laptop. But, if someone wants to buy me a Christmas present I would say: A Digital Camera. I have an old Canon and I would appreciate receiving a non-expensive new one.
