Let's talk -- comments are welcome, agree, disagree, communication is a good thing.
I am tired of hearing that 40% of Americans are obese; not just overweight, but OBESE!!
I fear for our generation disappearing without leaving a legacy behind; without radically changing the planet AND its population for the better.
If two-thirds of us die before we can find a way to change the world, that will be a CRIME.
I believe that the next six to twelve months will see a dramatic rise in baby boomer mortality not directly related to COVID-19, but indirectly, from the side-effects of the global pandemic.
I believe that the current artificially-inflated economic bubble is set to collapse in the next six to twelve months, when businesses not able to return to FULL and open operations either go under altogether or begin massive layoffs, and not necessarily from the bottom up.
It may start with reductions in benefits, like retirement pensions, or delayed eligibility for retirement, or layoffs of middle- or top-level executives.
The trickle-down effect will come as the businesses these people support subsequently see a downturn in profits, forcing them to make cutbacks in expenses and/or payrolls.
As the economic tsunami gains momentum, the housing market and stock market bubbles will burst in rapid succession.
It's important for everyone to recognize the signs and begin to take steps to shore up their three core defensive positions BEFORE this all begins to unfold.
1) Physical health - get into shape, make it a HABIT.
2) Mental health - build mental and emotional resiliency before you forget how.
3) Financial health - establish at least one additional income source.
I believe that this process begins in that order, starting with our physical health -- it has a significant influence on all the rest of our lives.
When we exercise regularly, we will immediately begin to FEEL better every day. That will also improve all of our bodily functions -- cardio-vascular, respiratory, digestive, and all the rest, IF done carefully, properly, and with guidance from our personal physicians.
The hormonal balance resulting from the improved body functions will also improve our state of mind and our emotions. Improved blood flow and oxygen saturation sharpen our thought processes and support clearer thinking and more stable emotions.
More stable emotions and clearer thinking enable us to withstand bigger challenges and greater hardships, like a global pandemic, or social upheaval, or economic collapse.
And, if we have applied the benefits from the first two defenses onto the third, we will also be in a much better place to financially withstand the coming apocalypse. We will not only be able to survive it, but to THRIVE through it, AND be in a position to help others who weren't as fortunate nor as forward-thinking.
