Sometimes I feel like people invite more misery into their lives than they need to.
Everyone has plenty of things to be stressed out and concerned about already, but it seems like many people go out of their way to fill their heads with more problems. At least, that’s how I feel about folks who are constantly tuned into the news and social media. There’s so much hate and heartache publicized through these avenues that it’s not worth your time and stressed out energy. Personally, I prefer to keep things simple and deal with the problems that I can actually handle. Sometimes, it’s okay to be ignorant. That’s also how I feel about my regular monthly bills. I hate logging in and paying expensive credit card bills, utility bills, and car payments. Instead, I like to set all of my utility bills up for auto-pay. This generally works well for me to reduce my stress, especially because I have an extremely energy inefficient heating and cooling system at home. Have no choice but to utilize my air quality control equipment on a daily basis because of the challenging climate where I live. This means, I’m stuck with my high energy bills as they relate to powering my central Heating, Cooling, and ventilation equipment. Unfortunately, my AC unit and furnace could definitely use a revamp, so they are not the most powerful or efficient air handling control devices on the market. Instead of stressing myself out with problems that I can’t currently change, I prefer to ignore my failing HVAC system and climbing energy bills. One day it might come back to bite me in the ass, but for now ignorance is bliss.
