I fear that I will not have a job next year, at the beginning of the year.  My emotions are in survival mode and I do not want to do anything or buy anything from this fear
Actually no. This was very helpful. I never reached out to an emotional support app/program, but it really did help me in getting motivated and thinking positive.
No
Great task!

Well 2020 is bothering me, like everyone else.. earlier this year my job was terminated, then for 3 months I was not bringing in income. Now that COVID is still out there, I fear that my current job will be terminated

I'm sorry to hear that. 2020 has been tough for many, so you are not alone. I have been through a similar situation in the beginning of the year where I have lost my job. I was fearful but I kept thinking positive thoughts and it helped me get through tough times.

True, I have been trying to think of other things I can do, like start a business But I have been working for 20 years, that I feel like I am supposed to work for someone else and not for myself.

That is a great idea. The government has great support programs for new business owners like you. I think working for yourself is great. You can set your own hours, chart your own path. It would help with your employment situation for sure.

I feel that I have not ideas. I feel like i have been thinking about a business idea for myself and family for some time now. I wonder how others decide on what to do Like how to get that motivation in their head to start something really new

My suggestion would be to think what your local neighborhood needs - maybe it is lacking a cafe or a grocery store?

I know, i really want a niche company.. Something that no one has thought of, or is not yet in my community.

Yes, I can identify with that. Motivation is hard - but think about your future job situation and your family.

I would love to do a zero waste company or store, since that is what I am really into. Do you think it is hard to set up a business plan?

I think it will take some hard work but you can do it. There are support for you from local governments. I think you should look into it. How are you feeling now?
