If not centered one’ll quickly get psych issues. And if one doesn’t eat and sleep well they quickly fall off center. Best to know how to survive on basics and prioritize health, realize mind > matter.
For ex. I’ve learned to eat only Huel, oranges, dates, potatos, coffee, and a bag of chips or vegan cookie each day for the past 4-5mo. Grew up poor on frozen/fast food, moved to SF and became a foodie for a couple years, started using Blue Apron/Plated to learn cooking, later switched to Vegge option, and now have above diet. I am a foodie when I go out, but instead of 2x daily it’s more like quarterly. Wide spectrum, common denominator is addiction to vivid clean feeling from fresh food and 16/8 intermittent fasting.
I also find that sleeping on the floor is most comfortable now with low body fat (inspired by Korean friends in Uni), so I’ve put my bed against a wall ~3mo ago and doubled my 350sqft premium SF space.
The biggest hazard is emotional health. Friends and ex-colleagues use the time to point out the flaws that have led to and caused the event, in their view. Talking about it with others in general terms sounds like complaining and that’s why people don’t talk about it openly, much. And it is a waste of time, perhaps beyond once to get it off the chest. All one can do is look forward with a new plan in response to the change... lean into it.
Mind > matter, poverty can be illuminating with right priorities.
