How to Manage Your Financial Anxiety & Stress Part 2
6.
Stop Comparing Yourself – Especially Online It seems like we, as humans, like to know
where we fall on the measuring stick of wealth, looks, and success, so we use others to gauge
our position.
However, constantly comparing yourself to others is not a healthy way to live.
7.
Consider the Worst After you realize and acknowledge your fears,
put a contingency plan in place and you can diminish the power they hold over you.
The truth is that bad things sometimes happen, but by predicting them and knowing how you’d
react, you can find yourself firmly in control of almost any situation.
8.
Educate Yourself By taking matters into your own hands and
educating yourself, money stops being a stressful enigma and becomes something that you can
understand and control.
9.
Talk to Your Partner As you look over the numbers together, several
things can happen.
First, your fears can subside when you realize you’re not alone in your struggles and aspirations.
Second, you can ask your partner to take on some of the burden of financial responsibility
so you’re not budgeting and paying bills solo.
10.
Retain Some Concern Perhaps a better word for “fear” is actually
“respect.”
While being anxious about the future is a passive way to deal with finances, actively
respecting money and treating it with the proper care can help you plan for the future
– and control your cash.
