It is sad only people lashing inward (suicide) can easily find that Help number! What about those of us now so angry at the injustices suffered, that we are ready to LASH OUT .. not in. Action vs thinker personalities handle overwhelming stress differently. Please look for help here if it is not readily available in your area at this moment I will try to rectify this (with a Police proposal) and improved ease of finding someone to talk to. Of course we fear being ARRESTED for our raging thoughts, but at this point, THEY CAN"T ARREST MOST OF US YET. Most of us are very sad or very angry! why we are angry, and what to do. a good link to help us.
PLEASE HANG IN THERE! WE ARE GOING TO CHANGE THIS REALITY WHICH HAS LONG WORKED ONLY FOR THE WEALTHY. I am talking to YOU .. lots of people who know nothing about you CARE about people like you. You are us, but we maybe had just one thing that made it a little easier. A friend, a connection, an inheritance that saved us from ruin! Everyone does NOT have the same Life Resources available. Walking by a homeless person, "There but for the grace of god go I" is a thinking caring person's attitude.
If just too stressed to read .. go to the Gift of Calm video below.
There are those who say "Why should I share, I worked hard to get what I have. He should have got his act together." This kind of closed mined BINARY NON thinking has to go. Wake up people! Until you face the inhumanity of those words you are not welcome in our positive compassionate energy. But sadly many must think "me first" because the stress of our digital dystopia has desensitized them. Bring those souls with you if they promise to be more EMPATHETIC to those less LUCKY than they are. Sure they worked hard, but some of us worked 18 hr days obsessed with innovation and still fail. Do we deserve the garbage heap? No Thinkers are often the great inventors and visionaries but often homeless and unknown til death.
This unjust unfair reality of wealth vs NO QUALITY OF LIFE has to be removed from society. But power is so entrenched and greed so obsessive it is now very difficult. Maybe now there is no other way than to look to the new theories of Science and Religion converging? Apparently atoms are just energy and we can create our own reality! Let's learn more about this magic quantum formula. In the meantime PLEASE DO NOT HARM YOURSELF OR ANYONE ELSE. We can get through this. Think of all the wonderful giving people we see amidst those horrible "me first, screw you" JERKS. Let's imagine a kind of heaven on earth where compromise and collaboration is EASY. That is the hardest part of life, isn't it?
Everyday when I run errands although we are supposed to STAY IN .. there are people losing it, talking to themselves loudly, screaming alone OR at a poor cashier. We are on the verge of societal collapse. So do not feel alone! We are all LOSING it together. So let's figure out how to create a reality like those lucky people completely oblivious to our struggle. Like the jerks in my Retirement complex. They are probably nice people ( just turned selfish). Maybe we can get their available money along with their needs into our "Trade" community. If I had a little money I would be happy to pay for somebody to listen to me and at least ACT like they care! or teach me tech. I could not pay the real value, but even 25$ would help someone at least EAT! We need to connect "buy nothing", with Blockchain, with REAL Human Resource management.
Does assault, robbery, attempts at murder, and suicide happened when people feel disrespected, uncared for, rejected, alone and worthless? I believe feelings of worthlessness and injustice cause most problems. Instead of simple punishment, more tools and support would prevent SO MUCH TRAUMA! We are going to build solutions to these BIG problems together.
It is much easier to succeed when ..
1) WE FEEL SUPPORTED .. most BIG problems (911 calls) arise when we feel alone, uncared for and worthless. We have been in that black hole just like you! But we will no longer feel alone, because TOGETHER we are finding new better ways!
2) WE FEEL WE HAVE SOME CONTROL ..
Our body and mind are somewhat in our control. By practising and building our self discipline we can get body/ mind more in our control. This can make us feel more POWERFUL.We are going to learn how to breathe, and control our MIND. Like "meditation and mindfulness" except for DUMMIES.
Strangely I totally believe that the buddha?/ yoga stuff works, but it just feels strange for me. There are tons of web sites and places for yoga, vegan, kale people. This "QUALITY OF LIFE manual" that you have been given, is for the rest of us .. not quite comfortable with Meditation etc. We can feel more in control with paying attention to our usually ignored breathing as a start. (see below video). With breathing helping us feel our body is now in our control, we then work to control our mind, dragging it into a more positive place. We take responsibility and learn self discipline. Then we will feel MORE in control of our own life.
3) ONCE WE ARE MORE CALM, WE CAN CHOOSE OUR NEXT ACTION ..
More calmed, it feels good to CHOOSE the next task. Choices feel like we have some control! Do we want to take ACTION toward "new money"? .. to learn more about where to find HOPE today? or to start connecting with others to build our community? You can do that online or hopefully gather some like minded souls from your church or neighbourhood. If we are introverts we have to start opening up to other souls, because this struggle today is SO MUCH harder alone. Someone to share ups and downs with makes life so much easier. Comcast NBC have even begun a new Health Business in recognizing how important connection and belonging is. see PAPA
The workers in "Jobs" have long been disrespected. What if we go back a little, think of Pioneer times? We could trade our skills and talents amongst our community like they did. Some Boomers realize the world is completely different for young people, with few opportunities left in an era of A I and robots. Those aware and kind Boomers will invest in our community, happy to pay for the talents we can provide aging seniors. Pioneers survived decently with a General Store, their family, and their church. They had NONE of our societal systems but I bet their life was less stressful than ours. None of our silo Societal Systems work FOR US .. let's just set up our own "system". We put IN our time and skills, we get OUT a decent quality of life.
On Algonquin Island (TO) there is a cart when you cross the bridge, "take what you need, add what you can do without". Why can't we do that with survival and quality of life needs? Except as a combination of stuff AND services? AND to keep everybody accounted for it is a ledger like they had in the General store. If you had enough meat for everyone, you then got vegetables for the winter as fair trade. But it means we. have to quit putting up with the corporate things we think we NEED.
We have been lulled into thinking we are powerless, that we have no control if someone does not GIVE us a job. If those of us a bit more fortunate start keeping ALL THEIR MONEY JUST BETWEEN US, we can just trade our talents amongst us. Yes our life will be more plain, but isn't simple and less stressed better? Let's try "buy local" for REAL, and on steroids!
Check out PAPA .. a service that provides even just friendship for lonely seniors, a new kind of "job". The units on a floor in a Rental building could become "family". "Church" will be our version of science and religion converging. We are all energy and when we think positively together we can create wonderful new realities. see "the Power of Eight". Sorry, could you get it from the library? or try an ebook?
Corona has destroyed so many jobs. This website site is to give us a life raft from panic. But like an unfinished book, it is still disorganized and even unedited. HOWEVER .. for sure .. Alberta's amazing 60 pg PDF link below, can give you great NEW HOPE. PLUS the LINK to tools
We can trade our skills, stop begging for a "job". We can create our own income.
The PDF above is a Tool for CAREER Re -Education! see also great learning .. https://alis.alberta.ca/tools-and-resources/order-publications/view-new-products/ (see .. recognize strengths/ know yourself/ definition of abilities). All we need then is a bit of "Small Biz or Self Employed Training", to employ OURSELF! Give OURSELF a job! Work on finding the skills you have to share with those not so lucky. Even if it is being great at dusting .. not all of us have that patience.
But that means with enough money left over for food / shelter, AFTER all our investment costs are covered (like buying a bike? a website? gardening equipment? some postcards to promote us?) Uber drivers and Delivery people are self employed .. but no one warned them a 150$ parking ticket and extra insurance eats up far more than the minimal delivery payment you get! Beware of the math and look after YOU! No one else will. The so called "share economy" is Capitalism on STEROIDS! YOU are the one taking all the expenses and all the risk, yet still probably paid minimum wage! We have to wake up and TAKE CONTROL. We are too often taken advantage of and disrespected. So when we start to create our OWN income, let's make sure we take ALL of the costs involved into consideration.
Why were we not taught any of this in school?? .. no need to read the blather below, go straight to the Experts above. Then start thinking how you could CHARGE people $$ for your expertise. I am trapped living in an "OLD FOLKS HOME!!" and I see tons of places where you could be paid .. even just being nice to lonely old people! That is NOT taking advantage of them. It is providing them a service that is MORE valuable than the money they no longer need. They are the Entitled, with a good RETIREMENT income .. yet they feel sad and alone and bored. Teach them to google, then come back to discuss what they discovered! There are tons of old Boomers that need you! .. (and hopefully some will just be happy to pay back what we "stole" from young people. We rather MESSED UP everything!) and I am right because PAPA has created my framework already !!
While you work with the amazing 60 page "Your RESOURCES" PDF above, I will better organize and begin to edit my (7?) websites. But for you to get ANY help here .. you must FIRST OPEN YOUR MIND TO NEW IDEAS! We have become simple, search shallow, closed minded Zombies! We take in no new real KNOWLEDGE, because we now seek only INSTANT INFORMATION! A "fact" is probably not TRUTH. Maybe knowledge is trying to find real Truth? (But our "education" pretty much just asked us to memorize what they said.)
The questions about who you actually are, in the PDF above .. take time to really contemplate. But finding the answers is very much worth it. Investigate who you are and someone will need your special talent or skill! They are probably missing that personal ASSET you have, but they NEED. We trade our Assets for other's Liabilities. We turn everything .. even Liabilities into new RESOURCES to improve our quality of life.
Consider this incomplete site like a Book or (Manual?) .. kind of a FORMULA for us to get through this mess? But the Internet makes this "Book" amazing!! .. because I can share it with you BEFORE it is ready to "publish"! AND!! .. I can easily link to all kinds of expertise! We will aggregate HUMAN Intelligence! .. not A I! We want HUMAN Intelligence. Please forgive the web site mess .. just take whatever can help you. It would be awesome to finally help a few new members or friends.
I have collected these ideas/ rants for decades and had no idea ORGANIZING them BRIEFLY, CONCISELY and in logical order was sooooo hard! Our "Book" (Manual?) will be a work in progress .. that I believe can be useful even before completed. ( I do maybe 6 jobs plus in this "System Innovation" endeavour, none of which I have a clue how to do. Inventor, CEO, CFO, CTO, Photog, Production and filing! So please be patient.) 18 years of "education" to only now at the end of life .. find out what my skill is. (Hopefully my skill is developing and sharing innovative Solution Systems)? Very strange "education" system we have created. How many "educated" souls are Baristas?
My Formula with the "BREATHE" section below, will also be helpful to you, even though imperfect. (see video further down below). Do not let my non professional web skills throw you off. And Go Daddy site design limitations (web boxes allowing only x words) are bad! Don't let this skeleton Prototype version throw off your seeing value in the ideas! There is "old lady wisdom" here, that I want to share with you NOW, when so many most need it. (And this old lady thinks you should start Civil WAR with those ENTITLED Boomers who say that my kids should just get a job .. like they did. What oblivious complete Idiots!) Jobs are gone! Plus who even wants to BEG for one anymore, over and over and over every year or 2! We Boomers had 1 or 2 jobs for life! Most Boomers have no clue about today's world.
If I stay too proud? or embarrassed to give you this now .. you will lose this TIME AVAILABLE. You will lose the OPPORTUNITY NOW to discover new CHOICES and CONTROL for your own success. Good luck! Together we CAN do this! We can change the whole dysfunctional system. Check PAPA and get creative with other ideas for our independence from the old Power Structure!
We have so many Resources available to us, but school (purposely?) neglected to teach us this! We are NOT trapped into begging forever for a fleeting "job". We really can create our own Rent money.. but "they" forgot to teach us that. After working through the HUGE RE Education assignment (in the "ASSESSING YOU" pdf above), we then need to learn how to "sell" ourselves like a Business. Instead of another disrespected worker, we become a (Self Employed) INDEPENDENT Manager of self! No more begging .. "Please sir .. I need to eat! Please could you "give" me a job!". NO!! NO MORE OF THAT NONSENSE. We are taking back control over our lives!
Even our Liabilities (our undesirable characteristics) can make us money!! My Liability, (THINKING TOO MUCH .. that which makes people hate on me .. as in always being a worrier), could have made me money! "Worrying" is seeing problems before they happened. Added to my love of Architecture/ Design and "recipes", it could have created my income doing what I love! My Liability .. worrying, would have made me a perfect "Consultant" for Developer's designing their buildings. Or creating better systems (recipies/ formulas) for production of anything.
Great "education" we got. My ability to see problems that others miss, could have saved decades of building inconveniences, living in flawed floor plans that I regularly see. Thanks a lot "Education" System for 18 wasted years plus tuition! I should have been a valuable ASSET to Developers etc, instead of feeling bad that I always saw mistakes and problems everywhere. Instead of turning my Liability into an Asset for income, I tried to be many things I was terrible at! You though, now can see many assets, skills, talents, and expertise areas to create your independent income with. But also look at Liabilities because my goal is to magically turn more of our Liabilities into ASSETS! WE can .. we live in a culture of WASTE!
Since I am old .. you can learn from all my failures .. and skip right to the SUCCESS PART! I was a Teacher and my best class was Bachelor Survival .. which was really "LIFE Resource Management"! Shortly thereafter (Home ECONOMICS) was removed from the curriculum. What? Were we getting too smart at handling our lives? This "Assessing You" PDF is what we should have spent YEARS working on! GETTING TO REALLY KNOW OURSELVES! This valuable ASSIGNMENT will take weeks of investigating and contemplating YOU. It replaces what I WISH I had learned instead of 18 years of memorized "education". Investigating how we can PERSONALLY best CONTRIBUTE to our community, has far more value!
PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO PAGE 20
Are you "a Thinker" or are you "a Doer" .. an ACTION mind? .. or do you like to think about causes, or consequences? My Hypothesis is that there is a spectrum between the 2 types of people .. but extreme opposites will not get along or truly succeed. If you are a Thinker, beware unless you can be compassionate with a less thoughtful, fast DOER. I am jealous of their simple "get er done" ability! And I drive their Action brains crazy being slow and deliberate. Like the Turtle and the Hare! Today those few balanced Brains that are left .. who can think consequences, and only then decide and ACT too, are the Leaders and true Entrepreneurs.
Wars could be prevented with this knowledge, if we could only learn compassion for the opposite "Brain Wiring" side. (link later). We used to be more balanced in having BOTH Thinking and Acting brain wiring before toxic "progress" fried our brain wiring. ("24/7 ON" Stress also makes idea simplification a coping tool for survival.) Being a Leader or Entrepreneur requires this think/ act balance, or we must find an opposite wiring (Biz) Partner. To solve our LOOMING economic collapse, we will HAVE TO work together, sharing/ TRADING, our skills and expertise. No time for "enemy divisions" .. our ship is sinking and we must ALL BAIL TOGETHER!
PS .. re Career Planning .. think "Career" as a way to make your own PERSONAL INDEPENDENT INCOME .. not an outside controlled "job" to beg for. You were never taught how, but we can do this now! Together .. trading ideas!
This site, The Survival Formula, the Alberta Resource .. nothing will help us unless our brain is OPEN .. to new ideas and possibilities. We have become CLOSED MINDED and therefore divided and hostile to any "OTHER Thinking". We need to learn from each other, NOT shut each other out as enemies. Our Ship is sinking! We better bail together, and it needs to be NOW!
But shutting our brain down is so much easier than looking at conflicting facts or ideas. Also, trying to learn new concepts is especially hard for us, because we are so stressed. Life was overwhelming because of its OVERLOAD of EVERYTHING .. long before covid. So now our "Double Stressed" Society will collapse into chaos .. unless we take a breath .. and OPEN OUR MIND TO NEW DIFFERENT IDEAS.
(.. move to the "HAVE'S" website, if you have a job and are just sick of lock down).
Stop what you are doing, seriously .. STOP .. and just BREATHE deeply. When we are worried or afraid we actually forget to breathe. It stops the oxygen going to our brain and our brain stops working. (I made that up, but I think it's true.) Breathe really DEEPLY, thinking calm thoughts, and then breathe OUT the fear. Breathe in calm .. and breathe out worry. This gives us a feeling of CONTROL. We will figure this out! WE who are struggling, really ARE ".. in this together". We can help each other get through this fearful, jobless time.
And I believe there ARE actually lots of kind, supportive "HAVE"S" in the world that WILL help us. I can't believe the wealthy are all just greedy. The not zombie ones, will become part of our RESOURCE SHARE Community as Investors in our mission. Their lives can not be great when stepping over homeless people. We create a "Base quality of life" System for all, with our "Revised Capitalism".
Once you have emptied your lungs and refilled them several times, with the oxygen our body needs, then we can move forward. Do this DEEP breathing many times .. and OFTEN during the day. Just stop and take back control of your physical body, and then your BRAIN. You are in charge, not the jerks who make our life such a struggle! (Once we recreate a System that works for US .. we really WILL be in charge!) Until then just breathe, feeling control .. I do have a MASTER Plan we can develop using all our shared skills and expertise! When you breathe in, think "we CAN do this"! When you push air out .. pretend it is anxiety, panic and nervous tension. Breathe out fear, breathe in "we can do this!" We are going to try a NEW way, not the "sheep ant" rut we have been stuck in, begging for "jobs"! We go back to "barter" on STEROIDS.
While we are breathing consciously, it is good to think about what we can actually be thankful for. If we can't pay our rent, or have no food .. or are just worried that will happened soon .. pretty hard to think "Gratitude". But we must! You know how when your (teeth) hurt, and you think "DAMN why did I not appreciate my teeth when they were just fine? Never even thought about my teeth! Until they are No LONGER FINE. And now they HURT SO BAD!" Let's appreciate everything BEFORE it is gone .. and we wish we had been more thoughtful and appreciated things once missing!
Look at corona .. I never knew how much even shallow hugs meant, til they are now only a memory. I am not a stuff buyer but I had no idea how much I love SEEING cool stuff, the joy of beautiful colours and design. Too late now .. nothing is available we always took for granted.
Even if we are almost homeless, we can try to appreciate that we can move our body, that we can hear and for me the amazing ability to SEE colour, lines, and light! It is usually true that "Things could always be worse". I just hate when some jerk who has it all, says that. "Like what do you even KNOW about struggle, jerk face!" .. but we can't let the HAVE"S steal that truth from us!
Now that your poor brain has some oxygen to work with .. FOCUS! Take back control of where that brain of ours is going. We have forgotten WE are in control here! We are not going to beg "them" for jobs anymore. We are going to keep all our Personal Resources between us and trade. They can keep their $$. WE will trade amongst us .. and force them to RESPECT what we offer. People and planet have always been more important than profit .. so now we will remind "them" the profit comes from us .. as customers!!
Sure .. if they sell 5000$ rings, or Art we can not HURT "them". But they have forgotten they make far more from MILLIONS of us buying the 10$ version! Do the math! You will need to do good math when you make YOUR MANY SKILLS into a business. A Self Employed entrepreneur, vs begging a boss, now YOU ARE THE BOSS. Other people need what you are good at, because they are NOT good at your talents. No matter what your expertise is, there are people who need you. Once Corporations see less profit because we QUIT them, they will recognize we are a FORCE to reckon with! They will join us and be GOOD Companies, instead of just pretending to be. We are done with fake virtue signalling of how wonderful companies are, done with it just being same old false advertising. Be a Member or we will NOT support you with buying! Sure we must sacrifice for awhile! But won't it be well worth it? Before long, they will beg to join US, so that we come back to them again as Customers. They forgot who is boss. They used to say the customer is always right. Well we want Employees and Community more respected. In return, we will be more loyal to the TRULY good companies.
We can VOTE everyday with our money! Do not give it to any company that is not FAIR to us, or our community. We need to be paid fairly and given secure work and RESPECT. So focus on "WE CAN" and "ME! .. IN CONTROL". We will get to HOW soon. (see link) But let's start by NOT supporting those who only voice how good they are. For most it is UNTRUE "virtue signalling". I love when "they" say re CSR "Our Employees gave a million hours to help the community". I always wonder "Were those Employees at work when they volunteered their time?" If not .. YOUR volunteering is not THEIR credit to steal! Sadly, almost everything today is just NOT TRUE. WE are going to try to find TRUTH again, together. It will take a LOT of work, patience and investigation. Sacrifice .. but to gain back control of ourselves and society.
You get to CHOOSE your attitude. There is no question that life has become hell. Injustice and inequality are everywhere. It all can destroy our day and any hope, if we are Thinkers (?woke?). I have been ranting about Friedman and Profit and evil for so long, I forgot about Wattles! And look at that!! (God) sent me exactly what I needed!! (see the 3rd long quote. Can we be that compassionate to Trump followers today? Wattles was amazing!) So let's LOOK for good in our day, focus on good people. The "bad" people are probably just crazy stressed too. Hopefully we can get them to join us? (The BLOCKCHAIN allows us to CHANGE EVERYTHING! It will be bigger than the internet at disrupting old ways. It can give us power we have never had). We can be like a "Bird Murmur"! Go to minute 3 of this video, to feel real hope in the wonder of the universe! https://cutetropolis.com/2020/09/03/dylan-winter-starling-murmurations/)
Our GOOD positive attitude can be Spiritual (god) .. or be Scientific (quantum physics) .. because sorry guys, I don't hear you saying GRAVITY is a lie. All the people who say science is a hoax are in trouble, because the "Law of Attraction" exists as surely as gravity does. Why else do jerky people attain great "success", while some of us smarter, actually harder working, get NOWHERE? (see Self Sabotage) There is a belief we are moving to a HIGHER LEVEL OF CONSCIOUSNESS. Focus on that we will now be in a "HEAVEN"? .. or .. a great place. (see Dr Joe Dispenza and the Schumann Resonance, earth's vibration is speeding up.) will link later
The Internet could have done so much GOOD, if we only used it in smart, helpful to Society ways. (Instead of brain frying, instant search answers, making us stupid). Maybe the Internet has just been a rebellious teenager, and now we will get the grown up, respectful of others, ADULT responsible "Internet"? The web is actually us now .. so let's GROW UP. Focus on that "community" being made up of caring "WE THE PEOPLE" instead of divisive bullies. We can be "we the people"again, if we use tech FOR GOOD instead of the shallow garbage we have fallen into. Think UTOPIA .. here we come, if we are heading to higher consciousness!
We have lost control of our OWN mind and life! Advertising and Consumerism made us buy into things that do not create quality of life. A Community of kindness, consideration, listening, being supportive OR even giving KIND suggestions for a better way .. is more important than anything to be bought. We have forgotten to control our OWN mind, to focus on what is important and how we will live. Sorry, but we are now just "phone faced SHEEP ANT" zombies .. Followers of all the shallow digital nonsense and excess.
We continue to focus on shallow consumption and invention, as our quality of life collapses into a society with NO JOBS. We need to take back control of our mind, our PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY and self discipline .. if we expect change. Now the BRAIN FOCUS must be on how to pay rent. But that will work better if we control our mind and think SOLUTIONS vs wasting energy battling with those who differ. Take back control of your mind from the power forces dividing us. Focus ONLY on what can move you FORWARD, but without harming others. Work more on the Alberta PDF above .. finding your Personal Resources to trade. How could you get others to pay you for your skills? What could be traded for your expertise or even just time as you investigate creating personal income? Old people need companionship and help and they have $! If you like old people there is tons of "work" there to be helpful to them.
If you are raised in Religion we believe God will hear our prayers. But if He has not been answering, we may be sad we are forgotten. But science and religion are converging! God does not help our friend .. but send us trauma! He loves all of us .. but we have to love ourselves in order to bring on the MAGNET of new possibility.
When we feel DESERVING .. we can also achieve the same success, some more (selfish?) people seem to easily get. There used to be books about SELF SABOTAGE. The scientific Law, like gravity brings us what we EXPECT.
If we feel uncomfortable with the words, "MANIFEST", "meditate" and "mindfulness" just face there is a PHYSICAL scientific Law we are not yet understanding. It is strange some of us are not "yoga" comfortable. We know those techniques have worked for centuries in societies functioning way better than ours. (I am trusting there are others, not just me, who also feel uncomfortable? Especially maybe men? .. who I most want to help.) You men have been forgotten and demonized for too long! (add link) Leave out the word "manifest" if it is uncomfortable .. maybe we can call it "envision"? Or .. can we just believe in an actual MAGIC MAGNET? The Law of Attraction is actually like gravity! But just like when they thought the world was flat, they never believed that discovery for ages either. Like the LAW of gravity .. there is a Law of Attraction .. but we just can't see it. We have to BELIEVE it!
Since the "Law of Attraction" is VERY REAL (like a magnet!).. we actually CAN create the reality we want .. if we keep FOCUSED on it! I realize I have been focusing on apocalypse for months, instead of finally we will flip from internet as DYSTOPIA to the amazing tool it is that can create Utopia .. if we RE Focus and RE Educate society. Thru thinking DOOM daily I HAVE BEEN HELPING TO CREATE THAT REALITY. Different realities actually exist at once, so let's stick to the Utopia we can create. You can think this crazy talk or use it as a tool. Let me know if you have better ideas to "save the world". (link)
So much to worry about. Once all our terrors are listed .. What is the priority, the first problem we must solve? For most it is food .. or rent. (see Resource Management creativity). With a brain powered by the oxygen of BREATHING, and calmed by recognizing there IS positive available .. which of our many worries is the PRIORITY for you right now? Put the importance of these tasks in order. Remember words become things .. so let's reword (problems/ struggles) to Tasks. Even better if we reword them into GOALS .. it will feel like we can accomplish them, instead of the overwhelm of so many things to do.
(Sorry, I need to go thru all my sites and redo the negative words!!) Once all the things we must fix are no longer flying around in our head we can more calmly start to focus on the SOLUTIONS.)
Link .. Brainstorm .. what are all the possible ways to solve this? .. think crazy ideas , because today NOTHING is crazy. How do thoughtless, shallow "influencers" get rich?? They believe in themselves! They feel they DESERVE! They are NOT smarter and better than us, they just are lucky to have a total Self Belief attitude.
You have as many or more skills and talents as they do. Just go for it! If you believe the Universe (god?) is there to HELP you, you will make to happened.
For now ask your Landlord if you can fix his Tech problems, clean his house, set up a website or maintain the property? Get creative, we absolutely need to quit thinking we have to BEG for a job. "They" all become evil once they achieve power. How is Uber Eats a "share community"? YOU take all the costs and risks .. they take all the profit .. no worries. Do they pay your 50$ parking ticket when you got paid 5$ for the delivery? No, they just plan a fleet of robots so they ned not put up with your whining.
We can change that system if we stick together. Enough with all the power being outside us! Think RE Pioneer! Pioneers had none of our "systems", but they probably lived better than us (less comfortable, agreed). Is stuff and comfort really quality of life? I would go back to our outhouse but feeling more secure and less stressed any day. Most will not sacrifice, but start thinking what real quality of life looks like? DEFINITELY not life today.
You may even have a job, but are you in debt? You too are living precariously! Most live paycheck to paycheck. As jobs decrease this DEBT will not work. By sticking together and helping each other, we can build a better system. Remember the Pioneer General Store and Barn Raising? Our REAL quality of life is so poor now, that the life of the first Americans seems an adventure! A hard life IN A REAL CARING COMMUNITY might be better than the luxuries of "progress". Or how about we use inventions as TOOLS .. instead of life itself .. all of us "phone faced sheep ants."
If we want to build our own income and never beg for a job, we have some work to do first. We will calmly work on one thing at a time .. focusing .. don't let the many other tasks intrude. Keep imagining each step as already done. They say it is not working harder, but focusing more on the completed desired outcome that works better.
I always get frozen by the 700 things to do. Then I do NOTHING and run away! So let's just chose the priority and forget the rest. There will be time when this task is done. Those of you that can MULTI-TASK? .. I am so jealous .. get away from me! Hey, I bet you can NOT Multi-THINK like I do? I can take many divergent problems and throw them together and voila! .. a SOLUTION! That is what this is. But just watch me struggle to get bills paid or anything with more then ONE STEP! Too much contemplation makes us thinker's life hard. Accomplishing normal life management is SLOW for us! You action minds just "Get over it and get 'er done", and I am so envious of that talent. But society has collapsed from action, so now we have to listen to us SLOW thinkers for a bit! (See "The Divided Brain" ) We need creative "out of the box" solutions for our collapsing society and Societal Systems.

Teaching was the perfect job for me. There used to be a saying "those who can't .. teach". I am wonderful at pulling together ideas and possibilities and dreams and goals and missions. but what do I DOOOO? So I will be struggling right along with you! in no way think I am telling you how to live the great life .. I just hope some of my research to LEARN HOW may help you. You probably ACT better and faster than I do. So if my research does not help me yet .. at least you can get a good start! I am angry now because if one is slow, and can't make decisions, life is more difficult. But what we must start to do is CELEBRATE what we ARE good at. Instead of whining about what I can't do (be fast and ACT!) .. no one is more CURIOUS, or obsessed with researching every possibility to find a solution for a problem. But if too curious your brain goes off on too many branches of thought and gets lost. Apologies at this still confusing collation of ideas to improve our quality of life.
.. here is a perfect! quote from an article clarifying what the author (SHAW) actually believed.
"This week, I am stepping down as director of the University of British Columbia School of Journalism to create the new Global Reporting Centre, a not-for-profit Institute housed at the university, dedicated to the lessons I have learned from students: Question the way we do what we do, and improve it.
We get comfortable in how things are done, and have always been done and those who do not have the chance to be challenged by curious, bold young minds are often relegated to doing things the same old way. Those who can't teach, just do – and that's a shame."
go here to find another way .. System Reset
There are many other resources or ASSETS available to us! We mistakenly think ONLY time (work) and money can be traded !! We can trade or barter everything! Leave out the Banks and Corporations! (Later the BLOCKCHAIN can be used.)
We forgot the Pioneer way .. TRADING ..
.. Helping each other, while actually helping all of us together!!

THINK!! THINK! about more than "time for $$", no more incessant begging for a "job".. we can do this! We can trade what we have with US .. "we the people!" For example .. tons of lonely old people have huge houses. Why are good people homeless, when there are old people who need help.
We forgot the pioneer way .. TRADING .. helping each other while helping all of us!! There is so much they can do to help older seniors for a space of shelter! Most homeless are just us, a couple pay checks away.
What is neglected from "education" is all the simple, available things that are Natural in life. Our Education and our Systems have become very UNNATURAL. Like a Builder we need good tools to construct a good life. But if "we the people" take back our power, it is harder for the "power structure" to control us. The masses acting together, would have far more power than those very FEW in Power.
Keeping us stupid, phone faced "sheep ants" is of great benefit to those in power. Since they have forgotten our VALUE in their obsessive quest for profit and power, we must stop .. start over .. rather like the Pioneers. Let's RE PIONEER .. simplify life by working TOGETHER and sharing our Resources. If we don't buy anything from Big "injustice" Corporations, think how fast they would re consider our value as their consumer? Us buying creates their PROFIT? They seem to have disconnected that us Consumers are their profit source. We have power in how we spend our scarce dollars! Dollar voting is even more important than November.
We can cut out of the insane stressed world created, and live a better life right now. A Homeless Tent in a good climate with people who share resources fairly, beets the dog eat dog society we have created. So stop being afraid. No more waking up terrified .. we have so many tools that can help us improve our life. We can trade our talents skills and resources amongst ourselves and survive. Soon we will have a life BETTER than before, stressed out of our minds BEFORE covid!
Below are some of the POWER TOOLS we have, but were never TAUGHT in 18 years of "education". Home Economics was removed because it retained control over our INDEPENDENT SURVIVAL. Let's bring it back with an old Home Ec teacher enraged in the late 80's when it was removed as even watered down "Family Studies".. the founder of these new Systems. (3 areas of our health .. personal Health .. Societal Health .. and Economic and Systems HEALTH!)
We need stress reduction more than ever. The "Gift of Calm" is Art video, that kind of helps us "stop and smell the roses". We are so rushed and overwhelmed, that we miss the simple beauty around us! Stopping to really appreciate beautiful scenes or details, while we learn to breathe more deeply is an exercise that we can do anywhere WTH NO PHONE. But "Turtle TV" teaches us how .. a kind of "Mindfulness and Meditation for Dummies"? I bet that half of us know for sure, how beneficial Meditation is! But we just can not feel comfortable with the ?"Yoga Mindset". "Turtle TV" is a POWER TOOL for the rest of us "dummies" to learn new habits.
If I am overwhelmed, I try napping but am often too stressed to actually fall asleep. Sometimes I remember to just breathe DEEPLY and SLOWLY and it somehow feels that I get back some energy! With that strange energy infusion I can continue trying to solve a problem or finish a task. Maybe this can give us a feeling of power .. a way to control life spinning around us. And if we make it HABIT .. it is a tool we ALWAYS have with us .. no stupid cell phone needed. (Quit with the "screen as life" already people! It is destroying our civil Society!) We need to breathe or we die .. yet isn't it amazing how we never think about that? since we need to figure out HOW TO SURVIVE .. let's use it as a POWER TOOL to help us get thru this re-construction!
https://tinybuddha.com/blog/positive-thinking-doesnt-help/ "even in grief we can look for things to be grateful for! " from tiny buddha, almost homeless in TO? imagine if in Texas freezing, with all the home insurance claims and no one available to fix things.
Have you opened a new location, redesigned your shop, or added a new product or service? Don't keep it to yourself, let folks know.
We are all "SPECIAL", each having individual value to share with others. Each of us has the same value whether Dr or floor sweeper! But we have different skills and talents. Have you ever taken time to consider even contemplate, what you are good at? what you love doing? what is easy for you? That is what we should have spent MOST our "education" energy on. Some things are easy for you, but almost impossible for me. We all get only 24 hours in a day (except some of us are slow .. so even THAT is a LIE!!) Now why would I do in 4 hours .. what you can fly through BETTER in 30 minutes? We have totally lost our way! If we trade our talents and skills we come out ahead. This would be the basis of a new "economy". Why talk universal wage. NO! Those of us next to homeless, also have value and also deserve quality of life! In a new trading REAL PEOPLE economy we each deserve X quality of life and will provide X service to the community in return. We can do this with Blockchain instead of dollars. Step 1, create a local community, and 2) start trading skills between you. What is the logic of me struggling for 4 hours where you Ould come and be done in 30 minutes. In return I feed you dinner for a week. Let's get back to creative! Pioneers came with NOTHING. They did manage to survive with no welfare and no unemployment! Let's take back responsibility and take control over innovating a new quality of life.
We support Fortune 500 Corporations that caused the decline in our quality of life! We buy from them! Are we insane? Think of all the money they would lose if "we the PEOPLE" showed some self discipline and just QUIT SUPPORTING THEM? In the Corporate obsession with profit, they showed no respect for workers, for our community or environment and the Health of our society has been destroyed. But it is our fault because we just went along. Let's get some B - - ls! .. quit giving the big guys their profit! Yes we have to SACRIFICE, but not sacrificing all these years has taken us into HELL. If we are not too late, we better DO SOMETHING! Later if the Fortune 500 wants to become a DECENT, ethical Company they can be certified as respecting other than profit, and we will buy again. Dollar Voting is a tool FAR MORE POWERFUL than a political vote every few years!
What we expect is what we get! Confident or at least believing thy are deserving people succeed more easily. You can see the LAW OF ATTRACTION at work in your acquaintances. Why do not fabulous people so often get to the top or do better than us? They believe they deserve and the EXPECT success. They have failures too .. but they just keep going like an energizer bunny. I know I get all "god hates me" when obstacles happened. Some close to me are "get over it .. get on with it .. always the excuses". I hare it but it is TRUE and I am jealous.
DON'T THINK ABOUT IT! How does worrying about the rent not being paid help it get paid? ..or mind "hamster wheeling" in guilt that your kids have no pension like you do? Or just generally ranting about the unfairness of INJUSTICE AND INEQUALITY. None of this worrying helps anything except it drags others down!b We are not even taught there are MANY kinds of "thinking", useless worry, brainstorming ideas, evaluating ideas, Decision thinking, action or project management thinking. Why are we not taught this? Let's quit wasting time on useless rocking chair, or hamster wheel thinking (fear, guilt or worry). We are fearing a future we don't know. Let's just "work think" to solve the problem. Stay in the NOW, not in past guilt or go into future worry. Don't think about it refers to senseless "thinking", not the same as REAL "problem solving thinking" at all.
Without Hope .. all manner of social ills begin to increase.
Mind control ..
We need to TAKE CONTROL. We have more tools available to us than we have been thinking! Esopeially the tool of keeping MOST of our money with OUR PEOPLE. People who do ETHICAL, not shallow scam business. Let's be ONLY their customer. This is called "DOLLAR VOTING" and can influence FAR more, than POLITICAL voting will. Let's share our skills only with us, even go back to BARTER (any Blockchain experts?)

To restore SOCIETAL HEALTH or quality of life .. first we need to restore our Personal Emotional Health
sorry .. much improvement is needed in a skeleton PROTOTYPE beginning
