Mixing zen with money and coming up with philosophy?

So i have been doing some reading up on this art or religion called zen, and here is some ideas on some of zen's basics foundations.

The idea of zen is to be int he here and now, and the zen religion basicially emphasizes the here and now, so money wise you have to not worry too much about what you lost or havnt got, but more so on what you can do now.

So how can you straight en your financies out for today, and get back on track, as you cant change the past, or the future, just prepare for it now, or as they seem to say "in the now".

So what ive done in the now is cut my spending, right down, this seems to be a effective technique, as it will leave you with more money for the so called none existent future, or the future now.

Or the continues now, so you have to be bale to flow with the now it would seem, financially, as well as spiritually, or life basically.

So try to work on what you can now, dont worry too much on past actions or what is in future except to be prepared for any so called future happenings in your diary etc.

So my future will be probably away next week.

So my blogs might not get updated for about a week, this doesnt mean i have left them.

It just means i will probably be away from my computerfor a good few days.

So probably away next week.

Trying to take a zen approach to money

I have read about this in the past about trying to take a zen type buddhist approach to money.

I think it is kindof to be serine, and relaxed about financial matters, look at what you can do, to improve your money and life etc.

Everything nowadays seems to be centered around money, which isnt necessarily a good thing, so what can you do to eleviate some of htis problem?.

And i think some kind of zen approach could be one way of going about it.

As it is often reported how people are having bad financial times and how there is a credit crunch at the moment.

You hear of big financial institutions going bust and businesses having to close down due to credit problems.

And this can get you down, so i think the zen approach is to not let these external to yourself elements, effect you, but enstead concentrate on your own problems and deal with your own problems.

Its like when you watch the news it is depressing, but how does it effect you, mostly not directly, so with this zen approach deal on your own problems, or concentrate on your own financies.

I need to do more research on this approach, so i will write up in this blog what i find in easy to understand bits.

Might not be a pro blog, but some of those are difficult to read anyway, they try to be too technical and look too good, and end up being less as a result.

I try to keep my blogs simple so that they are easy to follow and easy to read!.
