My “Perfect” Emergency Preparedness Plan Wisdom

Create an emergency preparedness plan.

Well I already feel anxious after reading this prompt…

And I feel like I don’t want to think about it.

All I want to do is avoid making this plan even though I know that making a plan is important.

Because I feel anxious and I want to stop feeling anxious.

But jokes aside, here’s my perfect plan-

  • Keep enough stock of food
  • Save money every month
  • Have an emergency fund
  • Make a household budget
  • Have investments
  • And at the same time stay sane

Maybe this is not the most perfect plan but it is a plan.

Many people won’t even make a plan.

But I did.

And regarding the last point “And at the same time stay sane”, it should come on top because without a calm mind you will make deadly mistakes.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, most people suffered a lot due to improper planning.

And many didn’t even have a plan.

And again regarding the staying sane part, I have anxiety and bipolar disorder and personality disorders.

And I got discharged from NIMHANS, which is the most reputed mental health hospital in Asia, my family was able to sustain me and themselves because we had a plan.

I stayed in NIMHANS for 3.5months approx.

And I feel we were lucky to have a plan.

So this is my perfect emergency preparedness plan with an imperfect sequence of activities and a somewhat informal writing style.

Thanks for reading this line. It means a lot!☺️

Pleasure is not bad.

I was listening to this.

And I feel literally enchanted.

I cook sometimes at home and I notice that ingredients like garlic require preparation like peeling off the outer layers, and then grinding it. 

I always wondered why we care about something so unnecessary as garlic and onions when we can always eat food without them.

But my mom reminds me that it improves the taste of the food.

So I wonder why taste is necessary. Living an ascetic life is more aligned with spirituality.

But then I recall the fact that everything in moderation is necessary.

In life we must enjoy it in moderation. Neither be an ascetic person nor an addict.

In the above video Diljit Dosanjh and Ed Sheeran sing together and it sounds magical. I am literally enchanted.

This is what makes life beautiful.

Pleasure is not bad. Pain is not bad.

Both are necessary in moderation.

Balance is key here.

Happiness is the goal of life.
