Getting Out of Debt, The Emotional Side of Debt
Flight attendants instruct adult passengers to place the oxygen mask on themselves first, before putting it on children. Given that if we can't breathe we can't very well help our children, this makes perfect sense.
If we're not in good shape mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally, how can we expect to be healthy and energetic enough to be creative and responsible with our debt?
A healthy mind and body also keep us out of costly clinic or hospital visits (saving us even more money and heartache).
Depending on our situation, we look at nutrition, exercise, sleep, relationships, quiet time, and entertainment as some possible top priorities.
We make paying debt our third or fourth priority.
Ask yourself whether I've made self-care a priority.
When you take care of yourself, you debt burdens too will be taken care of.
Why? You are approaching your problems with a clear mind. Debt can burden your thoughts and errode your ability to think clearly.
Without clear thinking you are doomed to sink further into the debt trap.
