I ignored the Fear chose Bananas over a meat pie,  kept my family healthy and moved forward.

Yes sound familiar we all do this once in a while may even be weekly, monthly and at the moment in the world we are now living in possibly daily !!! The way the media and news reports are throwing FEAR based stories at us constantly is really testing our bodies and minds on every level – Adults and Children alike.

Ok think about this what happens when we hear or see Fuel has just gone up to $2 a litre, Beans are $30 kilo, lettuces $12 each etc etc etc you know all the scenarious and to top it off the Interest rate hikes !

We FREEZE in FEAR of what is being presented and FEAR of the unknown yet to come. Think about what would happen if everyone and all industries / businesses chose to FREEZE in FEAR every time there was another price rise or Fear – Yes the world would come to a halt, nothing would move forward.

Take note on the news one week all our essential food items are rising through the roof – week later Oh the prices are now dropping – it’s like we are constantly riding a roller coaster of Fear.  Yes we have inflation and then property market and interest rates could not be sustained at the level they were – this is a constant throughout history and we have to learn to ride the waves. Cut back where we need to, consolidate as much as possible.

BUT  Don’t allow FEAR to FREEZE you ! Take action no matter how big or small, one step at a time to keep moving forward in any way we can – look at your life where can I make some changes to let the fear go and keep the wheels turning. If we all do our bit to free ourselves up, stop listening and watching the fear based stuff being thrown at us daily – so what if the Beans are $30 kilo buy other greens until the price comes down and it will. 

I remember a few years ago when Bananas became expensive I was at the green grocers and the lady serving me said “Can’t believe you can afford to buy bananas for your boys they are $2 each”. I replied

 I would rather give my boys a banana at $2 which is good for them and gives them energy than a meat pie  or mars bar for $2”. The lady stood there in shock and said “Wow I never thought of it like that, makes sense” and YES the Bananas dropped again few weeks later in price ! I hope that lady took home some bananas for her family that day !

Ignore all the hype, turn off the media hype, adjust , bend,  flex, respond don’t react and just make the best of what we have, relax and enjoy all the simple things in life together. Little less meat, more vegies and fruits in season, see if you can share driving with others to cut petrol costs., where can we walk or ride our bikes.  Think about what is scarier staying where you are in Fear or moving with the Flow like the ocean and making the most of life together. Fear never goes away but you can learn to overcome it.

I ignored the Fear chose Bananas over a meat pie,  kept my family healthy and moved forward.

I don’t wish to appear flippant on inflation it’s happening but lets not be a Victim to it – Keep riding those waves they eventually roll into the shore . 

Sending love & Inspiration
