🛍️ Why We Buy: The Psychology Behind Consumerism 🧠

Ever wondered why we crave the latest phone, sneakers, or skincare trend—even when we don’t need them?

Psychology has answers:

🔺 Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs explains how we chase products not just for survival, but for esteem and self-actualization. That designer bag? It’s not just leather—it’s status.

🎯 Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) shows how our attitudes, social pressure, and perceived control shape our buying decisions. If your friends are hyped about a product, chances are you’ll be too.

🧠 Psychoanalytic Theory (Freud) suggests our unconscious desires—like identity, power, or belonging—drive impulse buys. That midnight shopping spree? It’s deeper than boredom.

💡 Consumerism isn’t just about stuff. It’s about meaning, emotion, and identity. The question is: are we choosing, or being chosen?

Doing might be hard
It might be a bit uncomfortable
It might feel daunting
Sometimes doing might even feel wrong
It might look like you don't know enough to "do" yet

But through it all, it's still the only way to get results
It is still the only thing that's going to count at last
It is still the best way to figure things out
Doing is still the best way to learn
It's still the best way to get helpers involved

The best way to change the world, your world or any world for that matter is to start doing.
Overthinking is draining, that's why most often than not it leaves you with little energy left when you're done overthinking what you should have just acted on instead.
Like Nike said...Just Do It!
Do it scared
Do it shaking
Do it slowly
Just don't overthink it, just do it!
