You Can Now Buy a Bracelet That Shocks You for Spending Too Much Money or Eating Fast Food
08 July 2021
Listen, there's no shame in struggling with impulse control. Many of us spend life chasing the ephemeral highs of a quick and easy dopamine hit, only to almost instantly find the feeling of joy replaced with one of regret, sadness, and shame. But then, when temptation rears its ugly head once more, we again find ourselves caving to it, indulging in what we shouldn't really be allowed. And the cycle repeats, ad infinitum. It seems as though there's no solution - until now.
We can't always have a Jiminy Cricket figure on our shoulders to hold us accountable for our decisions. And though you can ask those around you to help hold your urges in check, sometimes that just doesn't work. So how can you make sure you don't fall into the same old cycle?

Well, a new bracelet has hit the market that can help with just that. It's designed to help prevent two of the biggest culprits when it comes to overindulgence - unhealthy food and dangerous spending habits. Who isn't guilty of hitting the drive-thru once too often, or adding something to the cart that just cannot be justified, after all?
