Black Friday Anxiety Meditation 2025 - Mindful Shopping and FOMO Relief

The consumer frenzy, FOMO pressure, and financial stress of Black Friday is overwhelming. AI-guided meditation helps you navigate shopping anxiety, impulse control, and economic triggers with grounded presence.

Black Friday triggers every consumption anxiety you have. FOMO about missing deals. Impulse spending on things you don't need because they're discounted. Financial stress amplified by everyone else's shopping when you're broke. Retail worker exhaustion facing entitled customers and chaos. Gift-giving perfectionism hunting for the right presents at the right price. The obsessive price-comparison tabs you can't stop checking. The shame spiral after blowing your budget again. You need grounding in a consumer culture designed to overwhelm your rational decision-making.
