My USD4,704.36 Loss | How Am I Coping
Someone asked me how am I coping with my loss? I told her that the only way is to go through it. This is 100% my mistake. I need to make more money to pay off what I have loss.
My mood is still bad, but I also find myself smiling and laughing more than usual. Maybe is my coping mechanism not to let others to know about my situation. If someone is all smiling, are they genuinely happy?
I do not have any real strategies yet except for cutting back on my personal expenses and chasing more business. I need to find better customers and fine tune the quote process. It was my quote mistake that resulted in the loss. Could this loss be a sign that I should take bold moves to bring my business to the next level?
I am maintaining discipline to get sufficient sleep and limit my drinking. Now, keeping a clear mind and a healthy body is my priority. I cannot afford another mistake. However, I could not switch off my mind. I am already struggling with sleep during normal days. Since my loss, sleep quality has gotten worst.
Mentally, I am still angry and frustrated at myself. I was told to give myself time. I know. But I could not find anything that would bring me more joy besides making more money. The feeling of poor and insufficient is easting me alive.
I hope I have more good news to share in later days.
