Help with Financial Stress
We know our minds and bodies are connected, but did you realize our bank accounts are linked to them as well? Financial stress can have a significant impact on your physical health, your thoughts, and your relationships with other people.
Physical and Emotional Impacts
Financial stress affects our bodies the same as any other stress. When we experience stress, our bodies go into a “fight or flight” mode. This increases our heart rate and expends additional energy. Financial stress on our bodies increases our risk for heart attack, diabetes, and stomach problems. Strains on our bank accounts can even lead to symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Barriers to Financial Wisdom
The largest obstacle between financial wisdom and lowering our stress is our attitude. In our quest to make the right decisions, we can become afraid of making the wrong one. In turn, we make no decisions at all. Trying something new, and even possibly failing, is better than never making a move at all and continuing our bad financial habits.

Taking steps to make wise financial decisions can provide some immediate relief as well as motivate you for the long-term. The following tips will help you understand why you make the financial decisions you do and give you the knowledge to alleviate the stress and strain on your wallet:
Financial Tips that Make “Cents”
