Depressing News
We are living in strange, moralistic and masochistic times, with massive problems that need to be confronted, daily.
Keeping oneself entangled in the daily news coverage only adds to our depression and anxiety.
Protect Your Brain
We need to protect our brain from negativity, hatred, and racism that we see all around us.
The outside world and its many twisted problems, shown to us 24/7 aren't helping us or our family in any positive way.

Our daily lives are filled with ugliness, and forgiveness is the key to survival in this age.
Instead of trying to fix everything, just remain calm, forgive and move on. This is one of the surest ways to get your happiness back.

Hiding from yourself
Pretending you’re normal and trying to fit in with the innocents in your midst keeps you sad and negative.
Don't stigmatize your dissatisfaction or restlessness. Don't scold yourself for your feelings, but make more space for them. These sensations will lead you down a new path toward joy.
Converse with your negative self
Try inviting your sad and negative self to find out why you feel this way. You won’t know what you truly want until you listen patiently to yourself. If you give it time, you'll find out what you really long for.
Sometimes, it is something about the way you've structured your days that doesn't honor the potential and countless possibilities that are stretched out before you. Or something about your anxiety has caused you to build things that restrict you. Your fears will keep you inside predictable shapes.

Reduce impulse buying
- Can I live without this item?
- Based on my financial situation, can I afford it?
- Will I actually use it? Do I have space for it?
- How did I come across it in the first place? (Did I come across it after wandering into a gift shop out of boredom?)
- What is my emotional state in general today? (Calm? Stressed?)
- How do I feel about buying it? (Happy? Excited? Indifferent?)
- How long will this feeling last?

Your point-of-view
Your point-of-view about money can be skewed. Thoughts can include:
- You have to spend money to make money.
- You need to make money to be rich. ...
Rich people
Rich people are not all obsessed with money. Some talk about money but they understand that their money does not equate to their inherent value. They don't act entitled to anything. They work hard for what they want.
It is called class. You can't buy it. If you find yourself with a friend like this, you can trust them and learn from the ways they look at life.
Know your worth
Know what you are worth with or without money. You don't need money to be creative. Lacking resources can motivate you to think outside the box.
Witnessing value exchanges with affluent family friends can also benefit you.
