I can't agree with this enough; I've found myself self-soothing with shopping. If it is "thrifting" than it doesn't count... right? Wrong. I am trying to actually sit with whatever emotion I need to address and not try to throw a band aid on it by shopping instead. Thank you for sharing this!
(My 2024 goal is to see how long I can craft without shopping for anything new.)

Yes, I absolutely do this too. Sometimes the emotion is just boredom, or even an urge to do something creative! There are so many other ways to address those feelings.
