When confronted with adversity, it's not uncommon for many of us to internalize the situation, beating ourselves up over things we can't control. Why do we do it? Emerging research has been tracking the phenomenon of self-deprecation over societal influences, and the results are interesting. When people become preoccupied with things they can't control, they often suffer needlessly from depression and anxiety, and tend to disassociate themselves from their friends and loved ones. Unfortunately, today's shaky economy provides a LOT of opportunity to focus on things we can't change. But, there is good news. You can alleviate some of your financial stress by reevaluating your relationship with money.
