The
values of investments are declining, yet the cost of living is increasing. Not only are we spending more money now, but
our future income is at risk. We are
physically, mentally and financially stressed.
That’s
us. But, how about them - “them” being
the people responsible for mitigating our losses? How do they deal with the stress of knowing
people’s futures rest in their hands?
Today, East meets West as Wall Street turns to yoga.
I
find this trend intriguing, as Wall Street is synonymous with pride and yoga is
the antithesis of it (There is nothing more humbling than lying on the floor in
frog pose - from above, people in this pose look like frogs that have been
pinned and are ready for dissection - regardless of whether spandex is
involved).
To
the readers of this blog: To what extent
does our job dictate our persona? (I assume the answer to that varies from
person to person and depends on the extent to which people integrate or
separate their personal and professional lives. But, I am anxious to hear your thoughts.)
To
the yoga bears out there managing our money:
Cheers, to you. May you rest
easier so that we can.
Happy
Friday and, Namaste.
(Disclaimer: I admit that I have secretly wanted to write
a blog about yoga for Unbound Edition for some time now, but have never had a
way to work the topic into a post. Thank
you, Wall
Street Journal!)
