Answer:

1. Replace fast purchasing with slow purchasing

When we start losing control of our consumption habits, it’s usually because we’re making quick, impulsive decisions. 

We reactively say yes to things we haven’t fully thought through and instead consume with our emotions.

Emotions should fuel our decisions, but our minds should be driving the car to ensure everyone makes it to the destination safely.

One way to make sure that your mind is in the driver’s seat is to slow down your buying process. The simplest way to do this is to write down a list of the things you need or want, then take the time to research the best option. Give the process space instead of acting hastily.

If you need to buy something urgently, first reflect on why you’re in an urgent situation. Is it because an event randomly came up that you couldn’t control, and you need to act swiftly? Or is it a result of your lack of planning?

If you need to make a quicker decision, still take a moment to slow it down. 

For example, instead of going straight to the shops to buy an item that needs urgent replacing, research the options online, first reading reviews and watching a video or two. Even call ahead to your local outlets to see if they have the goods in stock. 

Another benefit to slow purchasing is you have more time to find a second-hand option or even borrow the item if it’s a temporary need. More on that later. 

By slowing down your purchasing process, you’re giving the power to your mind over your emotions. You move from a reactive state of consumption to a focused and proactive mindset. When you make this shift, you reduce the chance of acquiring something you don’t need or won’t use. 

2. Borrow or rent instead of buy

A simple method for getting your consumerism under control is to rent or borrow items instead of buying them.

Got a party to attend? Consider renting a dress or suit for the occasion. 

Running out of space on your bookshelf? Borrow books at your local library. 

The added benefit of borrowing things is that it adds some time pressure to use them. Borrowing actually helps you overcome procrastination.

3. Practice minimalism

What’s the ultimate alternative to consumerism? Minimalism.

A minimalist is someone who naturally rejects consumerism and sees value in having fewer things over more things.

Minimalism is a powerful philosophy that impacts how you view material things, your relationships, commitments, and digital inventory. 

By adopting a minimalist mindset, you give yourself a real chance of making sustainable positive changes to how you consume things. If you’re new to the concept of minimalism, check out my beginner’s guide on how to get started with minimalism.

So, How to avoid consumerism?

Hopefully, you have plenty of ideas to escape consumerism, create more time, save more money, and improve your mental health.

What about you? Do you have any of the symptoms of excessive consumerism? How have you overcome your habits?
