Mental hygiene and the economic crisis
Dec. 2nd, 2008 08:16 pmBoth my therapist and my life coach strongly recommend not paying attention to the financial news. This is obviously not a completely awful idea-- there isn't much I can do to protect myself.
Still, I wonder about more sophisticated strategies. Do any of you need to pay attention to the financial news and are getting professional psychological advice on how to maintain your focus and happiness? If so, what's the advice? If you're dealing with the markets without professional psychological help, are you doing anything in particular to hold your head together?
