Action, Not Avoidance
… accept and acknowledge how you honestly feel about your financial situation. When you’re broke or in debt, you know something isn’t right. That sinking feeling you get whenever a bill arrives in the mail isn’t healthy. When your finances are strong, a bill is nothing but a piece of paper that takes two minutes to process. But when your finances are weak, a bill can be a stressful burden. It’s easy to fall into the trap of denying these negative feelings and going into escapist mode. Those feelings of stress and worry are there to tell you it’s time to make a change. You need to do something to correct this situation. The way out is through action, not avoidance.
