I was just cruising through my RSS feeds yesterday, and came across some gems.
I am in the process of taking a serious look at how I handle my personal finances, my long held fears about money, and looking for ways to live with less anxiety about bills & more frugality. I can across a great post over at ZenHabits.com - The 10 Key Actions That Finally Got Me Out of Debt; or, Why Living Frugally is Only Part of the Solution. Check it out, it’s full of some solid advice.
Also, FrugalForLife.com has 11 Simple Steps to Living on Less.
Over at StevePavlina.com there’s a good piece about prioritizing your own priorities. You Are Self-Employed. This concept first struck me while reading The War of Art, and it’s very useful. Too often I find myself taking the projects at work very seriously, and my personal goals get shoved to the wayside. That is not a balanced way to live, and the Libra I am chafes at the behavior.
I have mentioned before that I took up a regular meditation practice a few months back. The results have been phenomenal. For those of you interested in meditation, but who are not sure they have the time, check out the offering over at DumbLittleMan.com, Meditation Techniques for the Busy or Impatient. The tip I would add is that throughout the day you can get in touch with the point of meditating, which is realizing the universal simple truth that you are. You do that by taking a moment, stopping your activity (including looking for the truth) and point your awareness at the simple feeling of being. (For more on this check out John Sherman, over at riverganga.org.)
Okay, back to the grind stone!
