Retail Therapy
Do you believe in Retail Therapy? Meaning the kind that fills your soul- No Seriously!
I do- I believe that when we're feeling low-for whatever reason, or sad, or helpless that buying something for ourselves or someone we care about- maybe having to do with the reason that we are sad- "lift us up."
The definition of Retail Therapy is-"Shopping in order to make ones self feel better."
This is completely true & can be such a great feeling, as well as a wonderful & generous thing to do!
Retail Therapy gets a bad rap; as if we are being selfish or glutenous. Often times when we are purchasing, I know this of myself- it is for others; my daughter, husband, friends, family, my students...my dog!
As people we get a "high" from shopping! A high from providing for others! A high from being generous & having the means to give to ourselves & others! On top of that high place the high of getting a GREAT deal & I can be high on my purchase for days!
Think of all of the other much more destructive things we could be doing with our time & money- unhealthy eating, drug abuse...etc!
Shop on, ladies & gentlemen!!
Retail Therapy is GOOD for your soul!
