Do I frown when I hand over my credit card?
Do I hand my credit card over slowly?
Do I hand my credit card over quickly?
Do I laugh as I hand over my credit card?
Do I look around me at what other people are buying and doing?
Do I feel a brief twinge of fear?
Do I feel guilty?
Do I feel a little butterfly in my stomach?
Do I start talking a bit loudly?
Am I having an internal dialogue with myself justifying why I should buy this item?
Do I say things to myself like “just this and then I won’t spend any more on my card”?
Do I tell myself that I need this?
Do I feel excited?
What do my actions tell me about my emotions associated with this particular purchase?
What do my actions tell me about my overall relationship with money – is it governed by the ’emotions of poverty’ – fear, shame and guilt?
