Sanity Tip–Think Ahead
October 22nd, 2009
Thinking ahead, being proactive instead of reactive, can often save our sanity. Here are some ways to do that.
- Anticipate problems and take measures ahead of time to reduce or even eliminate their impact.
- Manage your money wisely to reduce your financial stress.
- Learn to say “No” to yourself at times. Delay or even completely forego certain kinds of gratification.
- When your gut tells you that you’re about to take too big of a risk, opt for long-term benefits over short-term rewards. That is, avoid short-term gain that might lead to long-term pain. Adrenaline rushes are costly.
