Reading 421: work
Like a deer startled by thunder, sudden news often shakes you. When announcements or rumors spread, check the facts and take a breath before reacting, and most things end small. Revisit any decision made in a fright the next day.
Money
Avoid moving or spending money in a hurry because of unsettling news. A solid emergency fund makes thunder less frightening. Postponing big decisions until you have enough information is this year's wisdom.
People and relationships
Worried talk around you can make you anxious too. Being near calm people settles your heart quickly. Be someone who tells a startled coworker it will be okay.
A small habit for this year
When something startles you, do not react at once; note just three facts. Even a deer finds its path again after catching its breath.
