This is part 2 of an earlier posting.
Can we afford retirement? Will we have the health to enjoy retirement?I've been talking with practice members about their ability to pay for their living expenses while retired.
It is becoming difficult. Social security is not an income replacement. It doesn't keep up with current economical burdens.
The first problem is the anxiety. Nothing is worse than your nervous system working overtime. Constantly worrying, lacking confidence, and dreading the future is a huge drain on your body.
I had a college professor who emphasized the importance of planning ahead. I knew deep down that it was prudent to to be prepared. I was always going to him for questions and rehashing out my notes to grasp the material. He was also stressing how valuable it is to avoid the anticipatory anxiety. He was right. It just made things worse.
My worst nerves were due to my lack of preparation. It wasn't from procrastination, but from a complete overwhelm. For me, the complete overwhelm caused me to procrastinate, adding insult to injury. My panic stood in the way so I couldn't reorganize my notes in a way that allowed me to retain the information.
The best students own the material. And they have a method to break down the information into manageable bites so they can learn large amounts of material in short time.
This overwhelming anxiety gets in the way of actual problem solving.
The same way students prepare for a test, is the same way you can calm down your anxiety.
We use mental rehearsal to prime the brain for rewiring, and then the chiropractic adjustment gels the desired change, which would be a calmness.
Dr. R.G. Hamer once said, you cannot learn to swim while you are drowning. New learning takes place when the brain is calm.
Let's get into a calm state then dive into more strategies to make retirement a fulfilling chapter in our lives.
Preparation replaces panic
