I'm noticing an improvement overall already.
Worked out again tonight, had a healthier dinner, called Mom, and talked to a friend back home. Good for the body, but my mind is occupied with worry.
Price of commodities has plummeted for several months now. Company stock is at a very low rate. I'm not too concerned with my current position, but I want to be prepared in case my situation changes.
I'm beginning to fear a greater recession start its effects. 2008 was bad, but my family and I were largely unaffected by it. Maybe this is on my mind because it's directly affecting my business. I don't know. My gut is telling me we aren't generating more wealth than we're spending or wasting, and that's a major economical problem, that will hit all of us very, very hard.
Already, I've started altering my spending habits, checking my finances more regularly, buying cheaper foods, and not buying extraneous purchases. Besides the "Mr. Robot" DVDs, I won't be ordering any more entertainment for awhile, and I'm considering dropping Netflix. I'm pretty conservative with my money as it is, but this kind of frugality won't hurt me.
If there was a time to not waste time, to employ all of my faculties, to learn and absorb as much marketable knowledge as possible, to replace entertainment with education, it is now.
