Dopamine and compulsive shopping

How would you utilize dopamine reward prediction error in approaching a chronic shopping problem? Highly aware the reward (the item) is never as exciting as compared the process of shopping, the productivity felt in spending money, and the anticipation of the package arriving, but intellectually knowing this is not enough. How can you use knowledge of dopamine and reward to stop shopping?

How to train body parts with uneven strength and mobility (ie: left arm vs right arm)?

I have noticed my left side has more mobility and my right side has more strength. I am 31 female and right-handed, so my dominant hand is the right side.

I would love to learn more about this.
