I started years ago (seriously since 2008) to get prepared for what is coming. My strategy had three prongs. First I started to exercise regularly and eat healthier. It was difficult but I started to jog, work out at the gym and eat healthier food. I found a fantastic mineral and vitamin supplement to take as well.
Second was educating myself with reading and listening to interviews regarding the truth about our debt, employment, the economy and corruption in politics etc. This helped me mentally to understand why and what was going on Geo Politically.
Third was strengthening my spirituality. This included reading spiritual material, the Bible and inward meditation on my motives, behavior, goals and character flaws that needed self improvement.
I believe we will face very difficult and stressful times soon. One reason is the shear size of the financial debt that governments and many individuals have racked up. Another reason is the decline of society. We have many broken families, spoiled entitlement attitudes and laziness. Lastly (my personal belief through studying and you are welcome to disagree) many ancient texts have predicted trouble times as a sign of things to come.
I feel that to face true reality, I must be in the best shape possible physically, mentally and spiritually. I view preparing the same as you would for a marathon, Olympic event or a grave natural disaster. I do not think I would fare well if I were over weight, unhealthy, weak minded or clueless spiritually speaking.
Will I be 100% ready? Absolutely not. I am worried about trouble times but also have hope in others like myself that we can survive and encourage/support one another. I refuse to be depressed and a doom and gloomer. I am a realist and am surrounding myself with like minded people. A strong, small community of supporters will make it through what is coming. I think that sharing resources such as , food, water, housing, medical supplies, silver coins, crypto currencies, conversation and humor will go a long way. I have even met many Steemit friends who think like I do and we reply to each other often. This platform is a great resource to have!
I like seeing other people on a similar path! Thank you for sharing. Have you tried silent meditation retreats? I have some experience with one if you'd like a recommendation. Best wishes to you.
No, I have not tried that. I do not know much about them.
This is the one I attended and it was very transformational. They have similiar places everywhere I believe. I hope this helps and best wishes to you in your journey! :)
Ok. Thanks, I will check it out
This is great, and I agree 100%. I have been stocking up first on food and other supplies. Since the Marines I have not owned a gun, that will be the next steps taken. Home security long and short range in the form of firearms. For the first time in 20+ years as an adult I feel the need to bare arms.
I think people who are awake and paying attention can feel something in the air that is not right. Just my thought, I am not trying to spread fear. I just want to be as prepared as possible
Any one that is paying attention can notice that something is not right. Its the calm before the storm. Not as many people are as prepared as they should be but as you said there isn't really a way to be ready for what is coming. By taking steps to strengthen yourself mentally, physically, and spiritually is the best way to be better off for when everything does start to hit the fan.
Very true. I hope my article was encouraging to those who read it. Thank you for your comment
Indeed, it was! As are your other articles too!
Build your family and friends network. And stay healthy indeed.
That is what i am thinking
I did not want to get into any specifics to see what the response would be. This topic is not the usual crypto currency type of post. I have a PhD in Hebrew and Greek scripture studies but that type of topic might turn off or alienate people. I figured if I got specific questions wanting more detail I would respond with a reply. If I posted what I really found out in my research 100% of the viewers would freak out and not be able to sleep
Jake, please don't take the hate bait. Be yourself an post about what makes you happy. What makes our platform strong is its strong sense of community, autonomy and authenticity. Please continue to be yourself and thank you for helping us all grow.
Very kind words. Thank you
yes, exactly! Thank you.
