PostHeaderIcon How to Become Recession Proof in 2009

PostAuthorIcon Author: Shannon Graham | PDF Print E-mail
In the midst of all the doom and gloom I still believe that not only is the future bright but in our present time right now we can have power. And that is why I have together the four keys of making yourself recession proof in 2009. I have faith that if you not only lean but apply these keys then you can come out of the dark place you may be in now and into a new landscape of personal and professional success. Let’s get started.

Clarity

In times like this there is no doubt that there is very much confusion going on. Will I keep my house? Will I keep my job? Are my investments completely down the toilet? All of this uncertainty leads to some very negative outcomes. When you are stressed out and uncertain your ability to see clearly and make healthy decisions rapidly deteriorates. And when that happens one bad thing continues to follow another. As uncertain as things may be that is no excuse to allow the things that are potentially within your grasp to slip through your fingers.

So having mental clarity here is key. You have to know what your options are. And you have to know what things you are in control of. The more clarity you can gain about your situation both personally and professionally the more power you’re going to have in shaping your results in those categories. In this clarity will give you peace of mind, and it will also give you better decision-making power. Along with that it will give you certainty and one of the most important states to being in at times like this, is a state of absolute certainty. Do not let the media, or your coworkers, or your friends, or your family bring you down or cloud your vision. The power and the opportunity are there but you have to be in such a place mentally where you can see them and grab them.

PostHeaderIcon Positive Thoughts Lead to Positive Change

PostAuthorIcon Author: Heather Loewen | PDF Print E-mail
It is definitely time for change. You can feel it in the air. This recession is living proof.

Lucky for me, I hit my own recession/depression about a year ago, giving me plenty of time to gather strength for what is happening now. Yes, I did say lucky. Ignoring my intuition, dreams and creative abilities in favor of a steady $24/hour paycheck in a soul-sucking workplace landed me in the dumps, which led to a powerful breakthrough. I am lucky because it happened then. Had it happened now, I don’t know if I would have had the courage to break loose and follow my dreams. That is, using my skills and abilities in ways that are for the best possible good of me and everyone else involved.

The path I chose led to writing a book called 101 Reasons to be Yourself, encouraging positive change. I also became a business broker, a career I’d flirted with fourteen years ago. I want a positive world, where people can live their dreams and pursue their goals, moving forward and blazing new trails. I am a pragmatist and analyst with a mind for business, looking for ways to increase value and profit. In essence, I like to follow my dreams and I like to help people discover and follow their own. Working for a huge bureaucracy as a member of an equally huge union was not the answer. My choice was Valium or stress leave and I chose to leave, recover and move on to a better life.

In retrospect, perhaps I should have taken the Valium prescription and forged ahead in order to put some money in the bank. However; if I had, would I have written a book? Would I have entered this new, promising career? Would I be writing this article today? This article is not intended to spur you on to quit your job; it is intended to spur you on to think about possibilities. The intention is to comfort you, remind you that it is perfectly normal to have a rough time now and then and to encourage you to take the time to reflect, to ponder, to dream and to discover what you truly want. Discover what you want, then go out and get it. The intention is to remind you that you are so much more than what you see today.

PostHeaderIcon How Do You Lift from Laziness?

PostAuthorIcon Author: Angelo | PDF Print E-mail
Firstly we need to get clear about what laziness is. We usually don’t think about it much and we generally just label it on anyone that sits around and doesn’t do much (or doesn’t do what we think should be done). Sometimes we quietly feel lazy ourselves and then have an internal struggle between the guilt of not doing what we think we should vs. what we feel.

So another way of looking at laziness is as a lack of motivation. After all, we’re motivated when we have the urge or desire for something other than what we have now or where we are right now. That could be from something that is chosen directly or indirectly.

Some examples of this are, lets say you’re sitting comfortably watching your favourite show on TV, you then feel discomfort from your bladder getting full, you need to get up out of the comfy seat and go to the toilet. This is indirect motivation because in your head, you prefer to stay at rest where you are, but your body is making it increasingly uncomfortable for you to keep sitting there and is telling you to get up and do what needs to be done. You can probably hang on until a commercial break, but of course eventually you get up. This is indirect motivation because it’s not something you chose consciously.

Direct motivation on the other hand is when, for example, you decide you want a job, you feel the excitement of finding a new job and you find yourself taking all this action to do what it takes to finally get the job. You consciously chose this and so directly motivated yourself.

If you stop for a moment and think about your day from the moment you get out of bed to the point you go back to bed, every single movement you do is made up of direct and indirect motivations. We feel hungry, we prepare something to eat, we’re cold, we put warmer clothing on, we’re tired, we sleep, we want to be fit, we exercise, and so on.
