Why Does Money Problems Make Me Sick?
Rose Asks:
Why if I am not a money person, do I always have money problems to deal with that make me anxious and sick feeling?
Lucid’s Thoughts:
Everyone is a “Money Person” so to speak on one level or another. It influences our lives on a daily basis. Money is what keeps us alive, feed, clothed, housed; even happy at times. It can gives us control and power to do what we want with our life. However, it can also make us down right miserable. When there is a lack of funds or a threat there of, we tend to get stressed out which can make us quite ill. Even the people who are truly pure hearted and not greedy feel the negative effects of financial hardship.
Because the quality, or even the safety of our lives depend on our financial status, it is easy to become sick with worry. I believe most people have experienced these degrees at one time or another. There are some people who have been able to release themselves from the “hold” money can have over them. It is not easy to do, but it is possible. I try and let go of the worry myself. It can be difficult at times. I try not to let my mind go, and live in the fear of the future, because it makes me feel like a trapped animal with no control and no way out…. I just tell myself to stay in the now; it really is all we have…. this very moment!
