Wasting money
There is at least the only feminine habit which is the reason for many male jokes. It is shopping. So, what's funny in shopping? It could be funny, if not so sad. The matter is that compulsive shopping is the top issue of many psychological courses. While in some countries people used to fight depression and stress in a different way, in the developed countries shopping becomes the most popular and effective way to cope with the personal problems. A woman who is fired or left by her boyfriend is rather inclined to replace negative feelings with purchasing "some" clothes instead of coping the reasons of the problem. The things seem to be more frightening, as the consumer society proposes many opportunities to follow the simplest instinct to buy.
Let's try to understand what the result of this conduct is. First of all, you purchase as many things as you see and have money for. After that you could regret that you had purchased so many goods. Negative feeling is not able to replace another negative emotion. At the same time, if you go out and treat yourself with something new, long-desired or fashionable for that money you have, it could be a really good therapy against your troubles. Return home, try your new dress and compliment yourself. It is possible to do even in a loud voice, which is to improve your self-confidence and give you additional energy for fighting the troubles.
Remember that your problems are not ever-lasting; they are not to be the stimulus for the emotional decisions.
