It is now being said that the economic crisis is worsening and people are in the grip of fear and anxiety as days pass by.While it is not possible to find a quick remedy for this, we can try to tackle it in a different way.Many people are still managing without adequate income.Our mind refuses to function in a crisis.However, there are certain things which we can do:
1.Change our attitude towards life.
I sold my car and paid of the loan.This helped me to save around Rs 12500 per month by way of EMI payment.
Next, I requested my driver to look for an alternative job, thus saving around Rs 6000 per month.
Third, I started using the bus thus saving around Rs 5000 per month I was spending towards petrol charges.
2.Change our way of thinking about social responsibility.
For almost 20 years I was continuously employed.I had never taken a holiday for more than 3 days and was always very busy.I could not even imagine that I would remain a freelancer for more than a month.But finally when it happened , it became a real torture.Everyone who has seen you stride out of your home arrogantly and sit inside a car while your driver keeps the door open suddenly finds that you have become a meek mouse peeping out of your house when your neighbors continue to attend office as usual.This makes you an introvert.I realized that I should break this shell and feel as if nothing has happened.It is just a longer holiday.So in order not to get used to lethargic way of living, I will walk out of my house everyday and go to the bus stand.From there go to different parts of the city observing everything happening around you.Never allow a dull moment.Start walking as much as possible.
Tell yourself you are not failing in your duty towards your family and the society.The whole world is going through this!I am doing this even today.
