It is very difficult when close friends and family don’t understand why we do what we do, even in an area that sees its own weather and economical issues (DFW Texas). Especially being new to prepping they judge where it came from and if we have lost our minds. I feel overwhelmed by it all on a daily basis. I use that technique to calm myself but I also use afirmations in a way, “We are right in doing this” “We will be better off” “Our child will appreciate these life lessons” Thanks for this article! I am glad to know that even seasoned preppers feel like us newbies do. You do a great job of knowing what we need to hear!
