Underline the sentences that explain what Anna did to start making deliberate and mindful choices for her birthday.

Now, I didn’t stop buying products or clothes, but I started making deliberate and mindful choices. I would ask myself whether I had space for the items and if I would use them often. When I shopped for clothes, for instance, I would look for pieces that were more timeless and would remain stylish even after a particular trend passed.

Also, for my birthday, I started asking

for experience gifts rather than physical items.

I would ask for

concert tickets or have lunch with a friend.
