de-influencing myself from paper republic and louise carmen fomo | traveler’s notebook refresh

Hi friends! Being sick last week resulted in me watching a lot of YouTube videos about Paper Republic, Louise Carmen, and DIY tutorials on how to make these leather notebook covers. This video is my attempt to gently de-influence myself out of buying one (or trying to buy all the supplies to DIY my own) by applying some Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) on my thoughts and feelings. I’ll refresh my traveler’s notebook in an attempt to reconnect with what I already own. I’d love to know - if you're struggling with impulsive purchase decisions (or temptations), how do you manage it? Reference Hayes, S. C., Luoma, J. B., Bond, F. W., Masuda, A., & Lillis, J. (2006).
