Economy, Weak Economy, Recession, Economic Stimulus Plan, Stimulus Package,

Obama's Stimulus Package, Government Stimulus, Government Bail Out, Bank

Bailout, and Auto Industry Bailout! Wait! Stop! Enough! My brain is being

overwhelmed by these terms... Are any of these words or phrases the focus of

your daily conversations? This is just about all I hear from the moment I wake

up until I go to bed and it's still ringing in my head while I sleep... I turn

on the TV and what do you think I see and hear? I turn on the radio; chances are

they are talking about the economy. Whenever I am engaged in a conversation it

seems something about the economy usually comes up. GEEEEEZ already! Well I

guess these are the times we are living in. It's likely that most of you

reading this article have been directly or indirectly affected by the Economic

Meltdown, some more than others... And yes, there are always Vultures out there

taking advantage of other people's misfortune.

What can you do about this overabundance mind numbing negative information about our

economy? Well you can start by training your mind on the positives. First off,

you need to stop talking about the economy in your daily conversations. Yes,

the issues are real and you do have to deal with the reality of the effects. I

will get into more on that later. Second, how is all this really affecting you

and your family? Third, what are you doing to stimulate your own Personal Economy

because waiting for the Governments helping hand is not the answer?

First let's deal with the mind set we are in. You can't help but feel the world

you live in is crumbling around you, that is of course if you're constantly

tuned into, listening or reading the national media channels. Basically, most

of what is broadcast is negative any-ways. That's what they

call News, so there is a big problem! You may already be having a difficult

time with life's issues as it stands, without the need to exacerbate your

problems by having to hear about how bad the economy is morning, noon, night,

and for some of us while we sleep(economic nightmares). For me personally this

indication was very troubling until I came across an article Economic Stimulus Hypnosis by Wendy N. Lapidus-Saltz. She gives about ten quality practical things you can do today to improve your personal economy and ease your mind.

You can start by: "What to Tell Yourself in a Weak Economy?"

"Start by getting rid of the words "weak economy." Replace them with: new

economy, modern economy, or an economy that's re-building, re-starting,

resurging, re-growing, refreshing, refocusing, and recharging itself."

In addition share this practice with your family, friends and people you

associate with. They undoubtedly need a recharge of their personal economy and

mind set too. Because the reality of the economy is there, that is, the stock

market down day after day, foreclosures are mounting driving housing values down

more and more each month, more business's are closing and reports of more job

cuts are frequent. Another thing you can do is don't listen to any news for a

few days or try to limit your current exposure dramatically. Give yourself a

break from the news and see what this does for your frame of mind.

Once you have your mental state back in order, you can focus clearly on more

practical ways to stimulate your Economy in a pure monetary fashion. That's

what you ultimately want to do right? Remember, you are the one in control of

your ultimate financial destiny, not the government! So, continue to exercise

with these suggestions and you will be ready for the next step in no time.

In my next article, I will discuss ways you can start to improve your financial

situation no matter how bleak it may seem. And no, I will not be talking about

some get rich quick scheme. I am sure you have already come across hundred's of

those that just wasted your time and actually ended up costing you money when

they were supposed to make you money. So, until next time you have a Great Day

and may your Personal Economy be prosperous for you and your family.
