3. Mental Wealth – Protecting Your Peace Like It’s Gold
What’s the use of having plenty of money or being spiritually grounded if you’re always stressed out? Life in Nigeria can be overwhelming – from fuel prices rising like bread dough to security concerns and the increasing cost of living. Mental health is crucial, and protecting your peace is part of your wealth journey.
Here’s how to protect your mental wealth:
Boundaries: Set boundaries like your life depends on it—because, in some ways, it does. Don’t let people drain your energy or finances.
Self-care: Nigerians are known for "suffering and smiling." But let’s be honest, that’s no way to live. Self-care isn’t selfish—it’s necessary. Make time for yourself. You could take a day off and sleep—no one will judge you!
Laugh it off: Yes, things are hard. But sometimes, laughter really is the best medicine. Whether it’s cracking jokes with friends or watching a funny video, humor is a powerful tool to ease stress. As a wise person once said, "If we don’t laugh, we’ll cry," and honestly, who has time for tears?
Now, imagine a life where you’re financially stable, spiritually connected, and mentally at peace. That’s true wealth—not just surviving but thriving.
It’s all about taking small, intentional steps. Whether it’s budgeting smarter, praying harder, or laughing more often, every action counts. So, no dey blame government or village people every time. The power dey your hand.
