It&#8217;s really darn easy to get caught up in the money chase and forget about everything else, but you may find that it&#8217;s everything else makes the money chase worth it.

<p>It&#8217;s really darn easy to get caught up in the money chase and forget about everything else, but you may find that it&#8217;s everything else makes the money chase worth it.</p>
<p>If your mind is occupied 12-15hours of the day with money worries, and you&#8217;re constantly thinking how can I make more? You just might be digging your own broke hole.</p>
<h2>Exactly what is the point of making any money without a reason to spend it?</h2>
<p>Yeah, of course there are always more cars, new houses, and fancy gadgets, but are you ever going to really enjoy it if you&#8217;re stuck working?</p>
<p>On my last post I touched on the <a title="non linear pattern" href="http://leosaraceni.net/discovery/this-is-what-falling-20ft-does-and-why-you-should-do-the-same/" target="_blank">benefits on non linear patterns</a> when it comes to &#8220;rebooting&#8221; our brains, giving everything a fresh new start.</p>
<p>Over the past few weeks, I&#8217;ve been dedicating myself (again) to exercise. I made the commitment to at least twice a week, stop everything, shut off the cell phone, and go get my arse kicked at the gym.</p>
<p>Despite my passion for jiu jitsu, I had completely quit going a year ago to dedicate myself to making money. In my head, I&#8217;d start making a lot of money, and then I&#8217;d find the time to go fight.</p>
<p>It doesnt work that way &#8211; not in the least.</p>
<p>After I shut myself off for about a month, I started noticing my eating habits reached an all-time low, I was cranky, snappy, and was annoying even myself.</p>
<p>It is quite easy to identify that now, but it wasnt back then.</p>
<p>And it wasnt just the gym: I shut off social activities, cut off on family time, and the only people I spoke to were online friends and partners, also in the money chase.</p>
<h2>The Productivity Dilemma: Should I Focus On Money Or Sanity?</h2>
<p>This post goes against everything I learned from studying personal development, and from watching how millionaires are created; maintaining &#8220;laser-beam&#8221; focus, keeping your goals fresh in your mind, and using affirmations and meditation to clear your head is how they taught me success would come.</p>
<p><strong>Maybe I Haven&#8217;t Found My &#8220;Laser-Beam&#8221; Focus&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>With the constant reevaluation of my goal, the obsession with achieving certain milestones, and the urgency to win I had created for myself a pool of stress.</p>
<p>And I&#8217;m not a Yoga Master to meditate my way out of it.</p>
<p>So I got other people to beat that stress out of me. I went back to the gym.</p>
<p>And I let friends take me out for a beer. I scheduled family time away from the computer and the cell phone.</p>
<p>Am I done with my money-chase? HECK NO!</p>
<p>Am I less stressful? More creative? More energetic?</p>
