The Psychology Behind Impulse Buying

Impulse buying feels good because it delivers a quick dopamine hit. Your brain learns that clicking buy equals instant relief. Recognizing this loop helps you replace the hit with healthier rewards—like a walk, tea, or celebrating progress.

The Psychology Behind Impulse Buying

We often shop when stressed, bored, or lonely. The cart becomes a temporary comfort blanket. Naming the feeling out loud reduces its grip. Try journaling for three minutes, then decide if your future self still wants the item.
