The other recessions - What you should really be concerned about
There’s all kinds of talk about an economic recession in both the United States and worldwide but if you really must worry or be concerned about something they are other “recessions” you should be a lot more concerned about;
Spiritual recession - Are you letting anger, selfishness, etc. get the best of you? Instead of going down a deep hole seek out fellowship with others and guidance from your faith to lift each other up during difficult times.
Innovation recession - Do you retreat into a shell and depend on the tried a true methods of “survival” or do you get fired up in order to make things better? To often with many people it’s the former. Take advantage of the problems you see and craft innovative solutions.
Diet recession - I’m not talking about a recession in terms of volume of food people eat but rather a recession in quality of food. It’s very easy to reach for junk food, alcohol and tobacco when you are feeling down but healthly amounts of water, colorful vitamin enriched food, good fats and fiber will actually boost your mood and make you more productive.
Reading recession - Well, hopefully by reading this means you are an active reader anyway but their has been a disturbing trend over the years to read less and less. Even with more people writing on the Internet people tend to scan more instead of digging deep in stories and articles. You will have a great advantage of others by reading more.
Exercise recession - Are you holding up inside spending too much time in front of the computer, TV, etc? Ironically we tend to shut ourselves in when times are difficult but good consistent exercise will actually lift you up emotionally, mentally and of course physically.
I urge you not to listen to the so called news any more than you feel you need to. All too often things will be blown way out of proportion just to craft a sensationalist story or we will take thing personally we shouldn’t. For the record I hate the term recession and I think the media is blowing a lot of it way out of proportion. Yes, their may be a serious crisis in the housing market and other markets effecting it but if you are innovative you can succeed at any time. Success is not just financial. Don’t become a victim to these other and sometimes even more destructive, “recessions.”
