50 Ways to Cope With Stress

It is awfully easy to be hard-boiled about everything in the daytime, but at night it is another thing.

Hemingway - The Sun Also Rises (via adamiss)

To a surprising degree, feeling rich or poor is a state of mind. There are people who pull down $3 million a year who are miserable and feel strapped for cash and people who make $30,000 a year who believe they have everything they need. But income data can surely tell us something. And they tell us that $250,000 puts you in pretty fancy company, especially after the collective pratfall the economy took in 2008. The Census Bureau last summer reported that real median household income was $50,303 in 2008, down 3.6 percent from 2007. It’s likely that figure fell further in 2009. So a household that’s making $250,000 today is making about five times the median. In fact, as this chart shows, only 2.476 million U.S. households, the top 2.1 percent, had income greater than $250,000 in 2008. (About 20 percent of households make more than $100,000.)

ah, the amazing power of state-of-mind.

Gross, putting to rest the myth that making $250K a year doesn’t make you reach. (via newsweek)

Pep talk: Be it a momentary slip up or a monumental fuck up, you can bounce back. Mistakes don’t make you bad! Resuscitate your dignity. Talk your pride off the ledge. Behave like a hero and keep marching past life’s little booby traps.

Today remind yourself: I can recover.
