One financial worry can erase a whole good mood

Dear Delyara, That happened to me today. I was fine — not euphoric, just fine — and then one practical financial thought entered the room and suddenly the whole emotional weather changed. The future got narrower. The body got tighter. Small pleasures felt less safe. Even things unrelated to money started to feel heavier under the pressure of it. I hate how quickly financial fear enters everything. It makes life feel less generous than it is. That is a hard thing to carry for a long time.
