What do you do when all hell breaks loose on your finances?

We all have times during our lives in which we experience a crisis.  Whether it be a financial crisis, a divorce, or a health issue, we experience them.  And with each crisis comes a fear of how we are going to get through it.  The most recent crisis millions of people are dealing with is, of course, the economy.  With thousands and thousands of Americans facing layoffs right now, the main question on every one’s mind is, “What if the bailout doesn’t work?” If the government doesn’t turn these tough times around soon, what will we do?

According to motivational speaker Anthony Robbins, we have to rescue ourselves.  We have to find a way to empower ourselves so that we can take action in our own rescue.  Now, this article isn’t to discuss all the steps you should take to rescue yourself from a crisis.  Anthony can help you with that better than I can.  This article is only to tell you the first, and probably most important, step.  In order to start rescuing yourself from a financial crisis, or any crisis, you first have to get strong . . . mentally and physically.  And the best way to do that is by starting each day with an intense workout.  Whether it be running, weight lifting, or something else, hit the pavement and hit it hard.  When you do a workout which pushes you past what you think are your limits, you get a sense of accomplishment, pride, and self-confidence.  Then you can take these feelings and use them as ammunition to fight the storm that faces you and push yourself through what you think are your financial limits.

A good workout will:

  1. Feed both your mind and your body.
  2. Help you avoid falling into a depression.
  3. Motivate you to do something to change your life.
  4. Empower you to take the necessary action to turn things around.
  5. Give you strength to follow through.

But don’t just concentrate on building strength during the time of a crisis.  Do it continually so you will be up to the challenge of tackling a crisis head on as soon as it hits.

    I agree. I don’t know what I would do without exercises. It is my way to mental clarity along with Vemma.
