Boy, I tell you....it seems world is just going crazy these days! The economy is going haywire, war is started, and things just seem to be out of control!

Most of us know how hard it is to keep our business going with all work and time it requires in just everyday whirlwind of life. How in world in such crazy times, do we keep from just saying, "I Give Up!?"

There are several things we can do to energize our brains and our bodies. Taking good care of ourselves is our best defense against feelings of hopelessness, feeling of being overwhelmed and just plain down-in-the dumps feelings!

Get Some Sun - After being indoors so much during winter, we need to get out and get some of that springtime sun! The sun is very good for your mind and body. But, do remember to wear protection so you don't get too much exposure.

Eat Healthy Foods - This we all know of course, and it is much easier said than done, but just try to change one meal at a time or add one healthy food at a time.

Take a Good MultiVitamin - A good vitamin can do a lot for you, especially if you don't eat right. You should, however, talk to your doctor before taking any vitamins.

Get Daily Fresh Air and Exercise - We all need that fresh air and lots of exercise. Take a nice quiet early morning walk everyday to get your blood pumping and your brain alert!

I call them myths because they are not true. Or, at least they are not giving you complete picture.

We can't blame our parents for myths in us. They already gave us best they could. And don't forget that times change. Things were true then may not be true today.

If you want to move ahead financially, you have to be aware of myths that you have about wealth and money. And do not let myths stop you from living a wealthy life.

Money Myth 1: Work hard and you'll be rich. Many of us think that by having a job with a big company would ensure that we're on path to financial freedom. With so many layoff announcements, we might be out of job anytime. I'm not saying that you'd be one of them but fact is there is no job that is guaranteed.

Recently, my friend was laid off in less than a month in his new job. Having a job is merely helping you to cope with daily expenses, providing you shelter, food and clothing. Do not be misled that a job or your employer will turn you into a rich and wealthy person. No one cares more than you about your wealth.

Money Myth 2: Saving is good. When I was small, I was told by my mother that I must learn to save. I thank my mother for inculcating habit of saving in me. The habit of saving helps me to develop discipline. Many people think that when they save enough, one fine day they'll be rich.

But is saving alone enough to make you wealthy?

I came to realize that if I only depend on my savings to get rich, I'd have to wait for a long time. That's problem with savings, it takes a long time for you to get rich. Saving alone is not enough. You have to learn to invest your money in other investment vehicles to grow your money faster.
