How to deal with an emergency and other good advice

 

 

The end of the month. August is over. The sun shines brightly. There is much movement on the roads. The new normal. Nothing is like it was in March of this year. Everybody has had a mind-shift. Old wounds have opened suppressed fears, uncertainties and doubts.

Relationships have become more digital. A deeper slavery to our gadgets has emerged. Some are getting out of shock and denial. Spending habits have changed. Learning has become the new order of business.

Children and adults with mal-adaptive schemas are reacting according to their programming. There is a general sense of mental anguish among these folks. Their reactions to criticism, counsel and coercion take them to dark places of anxiety, depression, mania and suicide.

The good news is that healing is at your fingertips. Psychologists can lead you to acknowledge your past wounds, forgive the perpetrator/s and find healing by imploring the great “I Am”, Jehovah Rapha, who heals the broken hearted.

I am not a Psychologist so I want to deal with the mentally healthy but I appreciate that we are all mad to a certain degree and the Corona virus is an effect modifier or amplifier. So I will not hold your mental state or mine against you. We are in this thing together.



What I will not relent about is to guide you onto a road I have recently joined. The road to Financial stability, the central pillar of which is you in all your physical, emotional and social dimensions. I seek to educate you on how to grow you pools of accumulation and your money multipliers so that you too can be on the road to Financial stability. This is a journey and a destination, a process not an event. Allow me to be your guide so that you can buy into the right solutions.

At a time like this during the current market disruption it pays to grow your emergency fund which should be six times your monthly expenses. This should be easily accessible. You may need an opportunity fund which is ten times your monthly expenses. It all starts with the first KES 1000.
