Pick whatever works best for you.
Now, the community you choose should align with whatever your goal is.
So maybe a no-buy challenge is not for you.
You can try something different.
That's our second takeaway.
Find your challenge.
This comes from Aja Barber, designer, journalist, and author of the book Consumed, The Need for Collective Change, Colonialism, Climate Change, and Consumerism.
Aja also runs her own online community oriented around mindful buying.
Other ideas?
Do a low-buy month or year where you set a spending budget and stick to it.
You can also try delayed gratification shopping where you save all the things you want to buy until the end of the month and then decide, so you're less likely to make impulse buys.
You can also challenge yourself to mend your clothes.
In fact, we have an episode on how to start up a mending hobby so you can extend the lifespan of what you wear.
There's also the 75 Hard Style Challenge, where you document what you wear every day for 75 days.
Don't buy any clothes.
And this can help you get a broader perspective on your style and what you feel good in.
Once you have your challenge on lock, Asha says, it's time for takeaway number three.
For Alicia Berman, modifying her social media was a game changer.
After your social media is sorted, it's time for takeaway number four, setting the ground rules.
What are the rules that you set for yourself?
