Everybody Worries About Money

Even rich people worry about money. They feel bothered because the amount of wealth they have is mammoth and other than figuring out possible ways to spend it, they also have to find ways to skip taxpaying and determine whether or not people around them are reliable. Ensuring that their offspring receive their wealth is yet another of their concerns. They have enough time to get depressed on petit issues and wonder how to deal with depression. Depression causes many health related issues including anorexia symptom.

People, who are mediocre in terms of possession of wealth, have different worries. They value every single penny because they have to toil for it. Often these people buy shares and invest their money in small-scale businesses so that a handsome return delivers them ease and relief in old age. However, the global economic meltdown has ruptured this dream as millions of such investors ended up getting little or no return against their investments.

Pretending overly rich is done by people belonging to ‘Nuevo-riche’ or ‘middle-class’. Their worry is all about how to show off their wealth to others. The possibility of deviation from upscale social caste frightens them and to maintain the standard, they purchase houses in affluent areas, add theatre rooms and Jacuzzis and drive newest and expensive models of sports cars. By doing all these, they send out the message to everyone that they have money. These suddenly-rich people never forget to mention the amount of bill they paid in a hotel while on vacation. They also call on their acquaintances in parties and spend extravagantly. In their subconscious, they fear to be seen anxious about money and getting into such loud activities is a result of this insecurity.

None of these sects worries most about money. It holds for the downtrodden people, who lack proper education and are means for other people’s ends. They are the majority of world’s population and always face money-related anxieties. They stay so busy only to manage their daily bread and butter that making tons of money is way beyond their dream.

Westerners grow up in a social cum religious setting that encourages them to long for death resulting from starvation. Ironically, in many poor countries, this kind of death is the only option a large number is left with. So the question inevitably occurs as to if it is worth worrying about money? The answer is negative. Worry raises depression, which invites anorexia symptoms and other types of health related issues. So, it’s important that we stay away from stress and worry. Otherwise, constant insecurity and resulting negativity will take over us and we will have to think over how to deal with depression. Instead, we should feel free to spend money on things that are legitimate for us to want.

What I culminated is something more fundamental; though happiness is subjective, things that people believe will make them happy are actually created by a collectively false notion of happiness. The notion rests on the unjustified assumption that since an individual have ‘this’ or ‘that’, he/she is happy. We observe people with certain possessions, which we lack and our minds immediately consider them happy.  But it could be a total delusion and those people may not be happy. ‘Wealth Beyond Belief’ helps individuals to get rid of these kinds of false beliefs and come out of finance related stress and worries.

Money Worries and Journaling

While many may think of journaling as a harmless, completely reflective process, the truth is that keeping a journal can actually be a revolutionary act.

Journal writing helps us reclaim ourselves and use our power to create a better life than we have previously known. Journaling shows us how to be responsible for ourselves and our behavior. Keeping a personal journal helps us change the way we’ve always lived and begin to create the future we want.

The act of writing a journal brings the psyche face to face with itself, where it’s not possible to lie or pretend. Through writing down observations and thoughts, we begin to understand the origins of fear and stress. When those origins come to light, the individual gains the ability to creatively grow and change.

Take, for instance, a common phobia: fear of not having enough money. So many of us are jobless or otherwise compromised in our capacity to earn a living. The Great Recession started three years ago, but millions are still struggling with the depressed economy. Fears and woes over money are pervasive, and we all know such stress can lead to poor physical health and a host of other issues.

If you want to control your relationship with money, instead of letting it control you, a revolutionary approach that’s sure to offer solutions is to take up journaling.

Take the example of Anne, an elderly woman who was worried sick about her finances. Setting the routine of journaling one page each day, Anne was quickly surprised to see how freeing the journaling was for her, and how costly all the worrying had been. She re-discovered her sense of humor, and as her journaling continued her self-confidence returned. Simply by drastically reducing the amount of worry she expended over her finances, Anne returned to a calm and creative outlook that opened her to ways she could budget more satisfactorily.

If you possess a notebook and a pen, you can journal. Journaling is the cheapest therapy on earth. You may have lost everything, but if you can still sit down and have a heart-to-heart with your journal, riches are at your fingertips.

We may not be able to change interest rates or inflation, but we can learn to be responsible for our own financial situation and take control of the fears that plague us.

Money worries originate in real situations:

If you suddenly lost a job or other financial support, and the shock still has you reeling, the first thing you have to do is get all your emotions out. Your journal is the ideal place to do that.
Many of our problems with money go back to the way we were raised and the baggage we have carried around with us since childhood. In your journal, take a look at your past for clues.
Money fears may center on a vague idea of your future, full of fear and dreaded circumstances. Use your journal to examine these imaginings and to describe in detail more pleasing possibilities.

Use your journal to sort out the realities, so your path going forward can become clear.
