Really enjoyed this - felt like a breath of fresh air amongst the new-year-no-buy regimes! ✨ I think you’re absolutely right that going cold-turkey is not effective for consistency, but that it’s the conscious effort to make measured choices of what you are buying, why you are buying it, and looking at where you are buying from which are the everyday micro-activism’s which make a BIG difference in the long run!
A low-buy month or year feels like a solid starting point when control is lacking. I will start here. I plan to do one this year—tailoring the rules to my needs and factoring in the likelihood of spontaneous purchases. I also appreciate the idea of moving away from strict labels and restrictions once a healthier relationship with shopping is established. I appreciate this reflection, and I aim to do like n5 (in 2026, or even before: reframing everything) thank you for sharing!
Totally agree that a low-buy can be a great mental reset! I'm so happy you found some pieces in here to better support your journey this year and I'll be wishing you luck. Thank you for reading Marie!
