Life is uncertain. Nobody knows the future, and if you’re really unfortunate, it may happen that you might have to face bankruptcy someday. If you’re broke, life gets miserable and it gets too hard to not think negatively. But don’t lose hope. I’ll give you some tools in this post that’ll guide your way into light again.
Here are a few things that will definitely help you:
1. Focus on making money. All your time, that goes on worrying about paying your bills, must be spent on thinking about how to make more money.
2. Money must be your primary value in life.
3. Practice minimalism. Find ways to do more with less. Read about stoicism.
4. Learn a new skill that can get you a better paid job.
5. Learn to sleep less so that you can work more. (Sleep more on weekends.)
6. Practice fasting. It helps in productivity, your mind works better and you’ll need less sleep.
7. Use affirmations that keep your mind positive about bills. Use self talk to tell yourself that everything will be alright. It helps in reducing stress and anxiety.
8. Visualize a bright future. Spare some 10-15 min everyday to simply imagine better things in your near future. Imagination is free and there are no limits to it. Use it vividly to picturize beautiful experiences.
9. Do what you love. Offer to work for free in an industry you are super excited about. Eventually, you’ll be paid for your work.
Good luck!
