How to Thrive in Turbulent Times
231: Navigating Self-Improvement Amidst Global Challenges
Good morning everyone - hope Monday wasn’t too bad and the week is off to a great start.
With everything going on in the world I wanted to put out a second follow up post to one of our most successful in the entire time
has been around —10 Ways To Improve Your Life Overnight.
With everything going on in the world right now I thought it would be a good time to provide some positivity and useful tips for people to take stock of where they are and make sure they’re doing everything they can to succeed in given endeavors and safeguard their mental and physical health.
I find myself getting sucked into the news cycle, focusing on negative events, and brooding over the state of the world far too often. This energy would be better spent on my own personal improvement and development so today’s post is going to help remind me and all of our readers to have some perspective and not let the negatives bog us down — and there are many negatives.
We’ll cover and elaborate on 10 points today that I feel are the key ways to finding relative happiness, purpose, and fulfillment — especially during uncertain or volatile times like the ones we live in now.
These are things I have begun to highly prioritize as the colder months approach in the Northeast:
Protecting Your Energy
Seeking Out Like Minded People
Cutting Off Your Vices (within reason)
Being Prepared For Anything
Honing Your Mission
Placing Value On Community
Learning A Skill You Can Be Paid For
Squaring Away Your Finances
Operating From a Position Of Indifference
The last post I put out covering these ideas and concepts was the most read to date. I think people are looking for a bit of positivity even if they do appreciate the realistic and somber tone of Arb Letter when I cover current events, markets, politics, and the state of foreign affairs and the world.
If you want access to the deeper posts and guides I put out it’s a mere $5/month — kept low so that all can access. Later this week, probably on Thursday I will put out a written interview with the team
covering the geopolitical and economic implications of China in the modern age. Should be a great piece for investors, foreign affairs enthusiasts, and folks just trying to comprehend what’s happening on the world stage.Let’s start with protecting your energy — a key to making sure all possible effort is going into tasks and activities that will benefit you.
1 - Protect Your Energy
In the coming months and years protecting one’s energy is going to be of the utmost importance to ensure that you are mentally healthy and focused on what actually matters.
