so perhaps it would help to ask yourself, when you get stuck like that, ok, to what extent is buying a or b or c going to change my life? and what about the time i spend standing there, or, or money i spend buying triples? if you are in a state of agitation, perhaps a relaxation technique that works for you might calm you enough so you can do the self-dialog bit.
