🧠 Things You Shouldn’t Be Doing Right Now (and why restraint matters)
A lot of people are stressed, angry, and reacting fast… but some reactions create long-term problems. Here are 5 things to avoid right now, pulled from the video’s main points:
🍔 1) Relying on third-party delivery for everything
If you can avoid it, don’t hand strangers your address + habits + “chain of custody” for food and essentials. Convenience can become a security risk in unstable times.
📱 2) “Fed-posting” or rage-posting hot takes online
Anything you post can be saved, screenshotted, databanked, and used later. Venting feels good for 10 seconds… but digital permanence lasts.
🧍♀️🧍♂️ 3) Isolating yourself
Preparedness isn’t solo forever. Communities bring skills, accountability, support, and resilience. Isolation makes you easier to overwhelm—mentally and practically.
🎰 4) Emotional gambling (money decisions driven by fear/FOMO)
Volatility makes people chase “quick wins.” The message here: don’t make financial moves while emotional. Slow down, verify, and stay steady.
🔥 5) Letting “do something” pressure push you into escalation
High emotions make people want action—fast. But outsourcing consequences and rushing into dramatic choices can wreck your life. Focus on what you can control: preparedness, local stability, community ties.
✅ Better move right now:
🧰 Test your gear. 🤝 Strengthen local connections. 🧊 Train in bad weather. 🧘 Stay calm and disciplined.
