Many strategies exist (some good some bad) on how to save money and thereby accumulate a savings. The reason for this is because more often than not saving money is perceived as an issue of self-control, and while that is true, it is also an issue of technique. Oft the more critical component of strategy is first making a change to your own mind’s perception and focus, and then only subsequently thereafter altering the actual problematic behavior.
Often mounting financial debt constructs form of internal conflict that is literally painful. It really and truly hurts. It causes cognitive dissonance. On the one hand, the very best step to take would be to consciously construct a habit of watching your income down to the dollars and cents, but to do this you must first also confront where you are currently at financially. If debt has already built up, the sting of reality may be like a punch to the face.
It is critical to realize and accept that this emotional pain is a temporal matter. The sooner you rip that old crusty band aid off and get to that hard work, the sooner you’ll be back on top of things. Do it today! Remember, financial debt is a form of twenty-first century slavery, and by making any real progress whatsoever you are taking the first step to becoming a really and truly free person, which is a form of transcendence in and of itself. That is worth celebrating about. The mantra “this too shall pass” (as does all things) may be of aid when beginning the back-breaking effort that paying off financial debt truly is.
Armed with the knowledge of the fact that confrontation of your actual situation will be a legitimate type of pain, there is a way to actually aid yourself become increasingly resilient to this type of stress, and mental pain. Believe it or not, one of the truly best ways to build mental resilience is to build physical resilience! Hit that home gym or local fitness center. After you are high from that beta-endorphin rush that follows a good workout and just a little more numb to pain than you might be usually: go home, grab your bank statement, fetch your stacked-up bills, and find out what the REAL numbers are. Do this on a weekly basis!
Do yourself a favor and make a concrete, permanent habit of spending some time looking at those real numbers. Confront reality more often and you’ll be surprised to find yourself naturally and inevitably compelled to work harder than normal, and make more intelligent long-term decisions as well… and it all begins with that slap in the face when you make an effort to actually look at your statement. That pain is what actually triggers in your brain the rush of brain chemicals that provide you with the capacity to alter your completely ingrained behaviors in the first place. It is a necessity! It does hurt, but it will be your salvation.
