With so much media attention on the recession, and possible depression – it is difficult for it not to have a rather demoralising impact. And with that comes all the normal downhill feelings and impacts such as stress, depression, over-eating, lack of exercise etc etc.
The current situation has been caused by nothing more that GREED! As consumers, we have been over indulging our consumerism in an unhealthy manner – and the financial institutions have been greedy by offering loans at low interest rates, to those whom they KNOW will most likely be unable to handle payments at the average or above interest rate of 7.5%.
So guess what – the empire struck back! And it is forcing all greedy, over indulgent consumers and businesses into a forced diet program. Nothing more, nothing less.
So don’t look around for someone else to blame, and don’t blame the government. Anger is a very unhealthy emotion, and if you have lost on the stock market or your property investment – guess what, the only person to blame is yourself. So toughen up and determine the worse possible outcome, accept it and be grateful for anything more that you hold on to from that worst position.
Don’t buy into worrying about the future. YOu are more likely to rise from the ashes so to speak if you remain calm, concentration on one day at a time, and above anything else – LOOK AFTER YOUR HEALTH.
Exercise is a great stress breaker. Refuse to buy into a depression – Get a T-Shirt printed with those very words and wear it proudly. Start a support group to help each other out – you may just make some new deep friendships along the way.
Stress, poor diet, smoking, excessive alcohol and lack of exercise are the fastest way to age.
So don’t pay out twice – you may lose some money, some assets but you still have your most valuable asset – you and those you love.
Be strong and age slowly!
