I rushed out of my room into the living room when I heard the sweet voice of Palki on one of the TV stations in my country (Nigeria). I'm in love with Journalism because of Palki Sharma. She's the best in the whole wide world for me. Love You Ma'am
Of course, when you have money,you can do a lot of shopping and it makes you happy. The next to relieve stress is eating delicious food.
Watching WION Gravitas Plus section presented by Palki feels more therapeutic than shopping! Love love love your choice of topic and your narrative! Excellent work team WION! ❤️

Great Job Palki! You see, most of the times, we confuse/label COMFORT and CONVINIENCE with/as HAPPINESS, but in real life COMFORT, CONVINIENCE and HAPPINESS, all have different meanings. If buying a Mercedes or a Penthouse makes one Happy, then he/she would never experience Sadness in his/her life, come what may....but we all know, that's not the case! We can't buy Happiness, we should know How to be Happy!

Atleast some news channels have something to say about products and spending habits and not just pumping adverts to use their audiences like an ATM...
Here there are 2 dimensions 1)being a consumer 2)addicting to consumerism. Does consumerism increase happiness? We really have better options. May be living in consonance with nature,maintaining human relations,well controlled economics,being positive minded, selfless service.

Well said.
Consumerism doesn't bring true happiness. Being content with yourself, having loyal/good friends, family, loyal woman, pets etc brings you happiness.
In Middle East, Saudi Arabia to be specific this one of the therapeutic ways of women, to Shop.. It helps them relax as they always say but for me it's not! It creates anxiety and tiredness.. Hours of hopping from one department stort to another just to buy 1 item is just a waste of time..
It's true. Great story. I thrift to feel better by looking for new items with tags and reselling on poshmark
Your case studies are always interesting 🙏 thank you ma'am 🙏🙏
and here's why i love gravitas plus episodes
Just love this woman to bits.
Wow, all of this makes sense to me. Whenever I order something from Amazon and I see the Amazon truck coming down the street I laugh and think to myself, “Christmas in July.” During the holiday season seeing the brown UPS truck coming down the street triggers the same feeling. I often say UPS should decorate their brown trucks with huge red bows during the holidays because the trucks bring so much joy that time of the year. Lol. 🤣
Don't let your purchases define your self worth.. Wow.. Amazing point.. I feel so many people do shopping only to fill the void that's it.. Or to make them happy.. From Personal experience, things can't make us happy seriously.. More and more things can't make us more and more happy.. We have to try to be happy on own and should definitely buy consciously.. ❤❤❤
I've always hated shopping. So stressful, the very opposite of therapeutic for me. I used to think it was because I was broke and stingy af but even since I started earning way more than I need I still effing hate it

same. my mother loves it but I hate shopping. Exercise is the best therapy for me
Some people shop just to shop, most things they buy are things they never wear that stay in bags or pile up in a room with tags still on. This then leads to another issue called hoarding. Can also cause family issues like divorce and self isolation. It was sad working in Salvation Army thrift store when a families would bring in the remainder of their deceased mothers estates. They would bring in so much clothes some decades old with tags still on belonging to stores that have long gone out of business. Most of it would be so old and dust covered moth eaten we could not even sell. we had to accept it tho, we did give some of it to local printing factories to use as scrap rags.
Yes browsing and choosing and not buying does make you feel good! Ultimately money has absolutely no value unless you spend it. Rule - spend less than you make. Research also indicates that shopping with cash hurts more than shopping with a card. Shopping is akin to using a poker machine - addictive. Love love love your alternates - exercise - aromatherapy - but my best solution - play some beautiful music! Thanks once again for your very pragmatic journalism. Your light makes a positive impact on the planet!

Yes it is indeed😇
I'm a middle class person, yes it's true some time it's like therapy and some times it's become necessity to purchase your required things. To avoid purchases I simply become lazy instead of spending money on something 🤣. It's fine if you buy non-branded clothes after all you have to live, you have your responsibilities, it's ok.. or save money and buy later which is really necessary that having high range. Focus on your taste bud it's really tells what to eat.... 😁 Yes some time to overcome your sadness I cut my hair to change my mood but this time I didn't cut my hair I think I'm controlling my emotions 😊. But still My wish to collects things like beautiful jar, bells, incense...... I'll do painting but later 🤣 after some saving I'm ready.. 😁 that smile will be pleasant ☺️ I'm ok to wait.
Window shopping makes me happy, just seeing the thinfs that I like w/out buying them. I also browse in the net then add them to cart w/out checking out..
Palki, this is truly a wonderful insight. We have heard the term retail therapy. Your report gives a different dimension to it altogether. Thanks so much for doing a fab job always
Palki is the most beautiful woman in the whole world. Her words are smart, her voice melodic, she's got the face of an angel! ❤️
Well done WION and Palki ji for bringing wonderful topics.
My wife loves Palki since pandemic started! And now I can see why :)
The problem is that after the dopamine the reality of poverty or debt sets in and depression becomes the norm for the majority of individuals
All your videos are very good. Useful. thank you
Every Palki's video is very useful for me: Gaining new relevant facts information Learning English Helps in relaxing ❣️
wow, what a lovely Assessment on shopping
I personally hate shopping lol....stresses me out:)...and...I'm learning that owning less 'things' makes me happier...just to have what I need...saying that...I doubt I'll be happy when I own nothing!!

I often does scrolling through online shop for hours and ended up not buying anything because im broke. It's a waste of time but i can't stop, maybe because of the dopamine release? I'm having adhd btw so it might relate

Lol this is a scientific study and it applies on both men and women. Statistically men spend way more than women in material things. Ofcourse they spend more on vehicles and games but ultimately they still spend. My mom oftain used to scold my father for unnecessary spendings. Women spend more time in selecting products so it looks like they spend more
wow very beautiful paalki
This is called informative journalism
Palki, your weekend specials are fantastic and so are the gorgeous sarees you wear. You look just great!

It is not therapeutic. It's a way of distracting yourself, a trauma response.

Yes
Well I went nuts and purchased like crazy. (I have a high income and it does not affect me). The thing is that my buying stuff online automatically tapered off. I think what happened was that there was nothing that was left to buy that I desired on a day to day basis. I think that might be the case with a lot of other people as well. If you are spending days and night thinking/wanting to get something, you will always have an urge to shop. But if you go wild and satisfy your urges then weirdly all the urges stop.

For me, certainly ❤️
Absolutely! I leave my cart. Because I keep bringing back my budget for the month and honestly after having filled my cart I’ve seldom revisited the site !!
I feel going to a mall and trying out all the free stuff is therapeutic..... 😁😁😁😁
Palki is my Dopamine.😍
Palki is the boss !!
i think withdrawing money from an atm is also therapeutic.

Personally I don't like shopping, travelling makes me feel good, uplift my mood
Watching this I realized that I'm addicted to the same shopping therapy. In two months I have spent over 50K on online shopping even while I have bank loans over 5Lakh. And I'm just an average 21yr old with a minimum salary working in aviation sector. (Underpaid of course)
Research also show that 90% of what you buy you don't need it. Shopping is an indulgent.
Jai BHARAT nice 👍
i agree totally! but with phone and commercial people cant stop being temted to buy they play on people that stuggle with all this mostly addiction of the phone.
You are not what you wear. You are not what you carry.(😊😊
I don't need to go to shopping. I just need to watch pretty women like you
When Im depressed I dont feel like going shopping. Too much effort.
Please make a proper playlist of Gravitas Plus on the channel
dopamine is not a pleasure chemical, but mainly responsible for the "drive" Also I can't ever be happy due to shopping. My therapy is physical exercise.
Offline shopping is not less than a headache
