The Mindset to Overcome Financial Stress

This week we talked about the challenges of living pay check to paycheck, specifically the mental challenges this can present. We recognize that many of us try to live beyond our means, and explored the cultural beliefs that lead us to prioritizing material possessions. At the same time, we agreed that some people simply are not earning enough to cover the basic expenses of living and providing for our families needs. Ultimately, we came to the conclusion that there just isn't one answer to this issue, and that we all confront a number of challenges around this. We recalled that there are tools that help us deal with the things we can control, and remembered the value of not getting drawn into Monkey Mind chatter, but instead letting ourselves take chances in our lives, and not being discouraged before we even start. Thank you all...see you next week!
