Free your room (bedroom, or a room you're most comfortable with) with every single material. Then, do some good self-actualization. Sit in the middle of the room, and release your current worries and problems. Appreciate your existence and the existence of the world. Think of everything that comes first in your mind.
This exercise is pretty fun and content. With it you can solve your problems and worries better, and you become calmer.

Although I'm a spiritual person, I can't seem to quit buying things. eBay is not always the answer because I have not been able to sell even some of my collectibles, so ended up paying the fees and losing more money.

Be honest and sincere and ask God to help you. If you are mocking Him you will be punished. If you truly want to change, then repent and do as God leads. Read the book of Matthew in the New Testament.

Seek the Center. What REALLY matters? What do you really care for, both emotionally and practically? What haven't you used in a year?
Simplicity is fueled and directed by awareness.

tough one, pray that God can change your desires. Are you rich? if so try giving your money away to those in need so you don't spend it selfisly. Member of a church? give to the church, they have to pay electricty and stuff so.
