The entire world is on virtual lockdown. Airports have their activities grounded into a terrible lull. The world as we knew it is not the same anymore, neither does it promise to go back to "normal".

What we need to answer is what can be done in order to stay productive especially at the individual level. There is one silver bullet that I have taught jobless people to use that I think comes to relevance at this point in time.

This simply is self-leadership. Self-leadership doesn't look at what you are going to get at the end of the month, week, day or project. It looks at what you can do to contribute and to expend your personal potential. Listen to this.

The most important thing when going through a slump or when you are broke is your mental state. It goes a long way in cementing the actions that you will take as well as creating a psyche with which you will operate.

When you are broke, it is not just the physical absence of cash that will bother you. Something much more powerful and negative is happening in your mental state that directly affects your psyche.

It is good to make sure that you keep that mental state healthy and the psyche unperturbed in terms of knowing that your self-esteem and self-worth and self-concept are not negatively affected. How? Listen to this.

When you are broke, there is a greater propensity to think that you are useless, worthless and that the situation will stay for a great foreseeable future. It robs you of your essence, your motivation and even inspiration to do anything. You start looking to be helped because you wrongly think that you cannot help.

If the situation pervades, what suffers the most is your mental state, something that is the most lethal weapon you need at such an hour. How do we overcome this moment? Listen to this.

When we suffer a slump of some nature, the lie is that anything and everything we do must result in a direct respite. That is not necessarily the case, especially when facing a financially broke moment.

One might be under the illusion that they cannot do anything because whatever action they take does not immediately or imminently solve the problem, so they wrongly refrain from acting. This refrain does the exact opposite of offering a respite. It cements it, at least mentally, sending signals of failure and despondency, painting a picture of permanence when it is only an illusion. How do we overcome it? Listen.

How do you deal with a personal slump? How do you deal with a moment of broke-ness? You are feeling like you are useless and cannot contribute.

That feeling can weigh you down so much so that you do not want to leave the house, neither do you want to do anything constructive. How do you handle that situation?

I think one of the things that we were created to do as humans is to be solutions, providing help to this world one way or another. Therefore, I do suggest that when we are broke, we can still find a way to give and in so doing, we shall gain immensely. Listen to this.
