The current economic situation is keeping us all concerned with our budget. It is in these times when we find what we need to stop and continue with. What those may be for each individual varies on how outgoing you are, how large your social life is, etc. But more importantly, how did you support that lifestyle? Do you still have the same income and support? It can all sound like a big game, which it sometimes is. One interesting way to adapt to many things is taking what our consumptions needs are and converting them into productive works.
It does not have to be complicated. For example, you can pick your favorite restaurant and cook yourself a favored dish which, in turn, can be shared. Also, thinking about all the places with people you like to hang with – what can that do for you? and do the people you friends with and network can get together to help out an idea one or more of you may have or agree on! And what better people to do it with than the people you know as friends and trust.
It’s not about putting friendship aside and going all strict and going ignorant on your lifestyle. It’s about having compassion and sharing the will to stick together and hopefully making something work, you never know. We all have our ways of making things work, sometimes those ways need to get adjusted and combined because of uncontrollable changes that occur in our lives. Innovation, practicality and pace; we all have them…
Knowing our desires and that which drives us forward in life is key to finding the solutions I believe, I’m not saying that we all have or should a planned way forward all the time. Sometimes it’s better off to hold hands with nature and go about, but what is nature? It can be our impulses which can push us in a certain direction without any regard, that can be a good thing. Why? Because in times of depression we need a motive without a though of why, but just because we have to.
