Our Team, Sue and I hope you have a Blessed Easter!
Before we head out the door to see the family today, we wanted to pose this question to you and your families. Very appropriate to consider today!
When something's got you down in this Real Estate Market - how do you Get Back Up? Would love to compile a big list, and spread it far and wide in the AR Community.
Here are my Top 5 "Blues Busters" for an often-challenging, frustrating real estate market -
1. EXERCISE! If you work out on a regular and consistent basis - even if just a short time every day, you'll feel better, be physically stronger, and less will get you down. It's true - Exercise does relieve stress, as well!
2. AFFIRMATIONS! Every day, Sue and I read one page together from Chellie Campbell's Classic Guide to Financial Stress Management, "The Wealthy Spirit!" We then each recite, aloud, about two dozen affirmations (one sentence each) that we live by each day. Funny, in these times of financial stress, it's amazing how the right attitude can change your outlook.
3. A GRATITUDE JOURNAL! Human nature makes looking at the NEGATIVES IN LIFE far more natural than focusing on the positives. Turn that around - you have lot of POSITIVES to be thankful for, in life, and in business. WRITE THEM DOWN, and REVIEW THEM! No journal book? A legal pad will do!
4. WRITTEN GOALS, and a WRITTEN STRATEGY TO ACHIEVE THEM! Review these each day. You will be amazed how many you have achieved already - that makes achieving the rest possible. Course correct as necessary - but do not put them aside.
5. ROCK & ROLL/CLASSIC TV! According to Dick Clark, music is the soundtrack of our lives, you know! When in the car, my love for oldies - from the 50's through the 70's - reminds me of those good times, and reduces focus on things that stress. Classic TV, especially the old sit coms, is mindless, funny stuff, that often takes the edge off the day (in moderation, of course).
Again - yours? Please share!
Enjoy the holiday with your families!
