How Your Anger and Fear Affect Your Finances

Here's the deal. You have some financial challenge--I think that relates to just about everybody these days--and you don't want to make it worse with bad decisions!

  • Did you know that fear and anger can actually shut down higher brain functions? I mean, literally, when someone is extremely angry or afraid, you don't want them running the show or making major decisions, right? Take for example the otherwise intelligent woman who freezes in a burning building and has to be carried out bodily, or the otherwise kind and smart man who flies into a rage and abuses the people he loves the most--his family. So, the last thing you want to do is make decisions about your money out of anger or fear. Those decisions just won't be smart in most cases.

  • You are smarter when you're calm. You need to be smart about your money! Learn more about meditation here.

  • The more afraid or angry you become, the more likely you are to make a serious mistake. Extreme anger and fear activate the "reptilian" brain and throw you into a fight-or-flight mode, which does not require the use of your smarter brain, so it literally shuts down. Ever do something when you're mad that you wish you hadn't later? Well, there you go. Try these anger management techniques to "soothe the angry beast" and get yourself into a better frame of mind before deciding what to buy, save, or invest in.

  • Ever think about what drives the stock market up and down? A big part of it is emotion--mostly fear and excitement--or greed. If investors, bankers and big money managers were more emotionally intelligent, we'd all be in better shape.

  • Want to know where a lot of your fear and anger come from? Newspapers, television, magazines, radio, etc. Yep, those people are trying to make a living, and the way they sell their stuff is to scare the heck out of you and me. If they just told us good news, things that make us feel good, we'd stop buying, reading, watching and listening. Don't fall victim to the belief that the media is telling you what's going on in the world. Learn more on this topic on this Goodfinding CD program.

Use Your Healthy Anger To Improve Your Money Situation

Okay, if you're angry, let's make it work for you instead of against you. Healthy anger is a powerful force that you can use for your own good! Consider making these statements to yourself:

  • Nothing is going to stop me from reaching my financial goals. I will educate myself and learn how to benefit from whatever is going on. I will not be a victim to this situation! Read Robert Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" for starters.

  • I've got what it takes to earn a good living and meet my obligations. I am bound and determined to come out on top of this situation.

  • If you really want to start getting ahead, learn about intelligent investing at The Motley Fool's "Fool's School," which you will find online. If you've got a little money and some time to let it grow, this just might be a good time for you to start investing for your future.

  • If you're out of work, or afraid of losing your job and tired of somebody else holding your future in their hands, you might want to consider starting your own successful Internet business.

Feel Good About Your Financial Picture

Just like the anger and fear can make you less smart, being calm and optimistic make you smarter. Here are some things to consider:

  • Whatever your money situation is, be sure you look at what is good, right and working--so you don't get totally bogged down in the problems and make them worse. What assets do you have--personal and financial? Take a good inventory of those, and notice how it helps you to calm down.

  • Think about all of the hard times you've been through. You made it, every time, right? Here you are, and you'll make it through this one too. You are a survivor, and where there's a will there's a way.

  • Ask for help from somebody who's been through what you're going through. Don't ask for money, ask for ways to earn some or grow what you have. Ask--you might be surprised how many people want to help you.

  • Talk positively to yourself, and remind yourself of everything you've got going for you.

  • Keep the faith. Remember you're not alone, whatever your spiritual beliefs may be. There is someone watching over you, and the more you believe in that the stronger it will be for you.
