Zen Carting: An emotional coping technique where individuals immerse themselves in the online shopping experience, meticulously selecting items and adding them to their virtual carts, not with the primary intention of purchasing, but rather to achieve a sense of calm, mindfulness, and temporary escape from the stresses of daily life. Much like the Zen practice emphasizes simplicity, awareness, and focus on the present moment, 'Zen Carting' allows individuals to find a momentary respite by engaging in a focused and familiar activity, providing therapeutic relief without the financial implications of actual purchasing.
