Tips to Curb Job Anxiety

I spent some of today looking at articles having to do with the concept of fear of being fired.  I think I have been led around by this fear more than I should be.  I believe that fear of failure can be a debilitating type of phenomena that can only increase one's apprehension about life and work in general.      These are some good links to look at:

Saving Money

Today I talked to my wife about how we can save money and still live at relatively the same level as we do now.   There are various ways we can save money.  We need to be conscious of all costs from food and medical to car repairs, even xmas presents.  Some changes we have talked about:

• Shopping at Aldi
• shorter showers, turn off lights, fans etc.  to save electricity
• going out to eat a lot less
• save car trips
• vacations closer to home

Other things to do to create a better mental outlook:

• Exercise more
• Enjoy life more by developing a good mental outlook
• Do not waste a second in defining who you are.  Don't let the job over-define you.
• Confidently strive for your dreams and goals
• Keep looking for the best job and situation for you and your family

All of this can be summed up in one word and that is focus.  Don't be afraid to be passionate about the important things in life.  Show some passion and drive to the ones who care before it is too late.  Share your best self with the world.  Its never, never too late to grow and change in a positive direction.  Don't be a victim, live life the way you want to.
