Stressed? Depressed? Feeling lethargic? One of the best solutions to your problem is retail therapy. I am sure you would connect with this, especially if you are a woman. Retail therapy helps in bringing you back to your natural mood.
Personally, I believe going out to the market and looking at the colourful variety of objects/people releases me from the stress I could be facing. Wearing new clothes and getting ready for my own self too helps me to regain my true self.
Going out to the market and buying what you have been longing for or an impromptu purchase gives you an inexplicable feeling. Of course, sometimes it does burn a hole in your pocket but you will feel that your anxiety/depression has vanished.
If I move a little away from ‘Retail Therapy’ and talk about the things that give you pleasure or happiness in life, I would only say that it is all within you. You needn’t go out searching for the solution to a problem that you may facing in life.
To some extent, medication aids in reducing pain/depression/ailment but one can help oneself get rid of these.
We should live in the moment. What is being referred to ‘is’, at the moment and not worry about future or think about past. Do what gives you happiness. Become childlike, go play in the park, shout in open, laugh whole heartedly, move out in slippers for a change, quit your formal/sports shoes. Eat candy, talk without thinking what your neighbour would think s about you. Leave everything behind and just concentrate on what gives you pleasure.
Retail Therapy makes your mind go in a different direction. It lets you do what you want. It relaxes your nerves as you would go shop to shop, choosing, looking at different patterns, colours and varieties of objects.
Look at the positive side of it. You are exercising, are you not? Walking is the best exercise. You will never estimate how many kilometers you walked just to buy a small thing. You burn your calories and you snap out of your stress.
I know I might sound a little weird but in my humble opinion retail therapy is the best solution to break free from stress.
