10 Positive Tips to Overcome Stress
        When the World Economy 
                    Is in the Toilet!

Everyone is being affected by the recent changes in our world economy. Many people are feeling stressed and worried about their future. If you’re like everyone else, you may be wondering what you can do. As a psychotherapist, I’d say it’s definitely a time to step back and do some soul searching to find your true values. It’s also a good time to think of how you may want to reorganize your life.

For those of you who may feel stuck in a financial rut, I’ve put together 10 positive tips for  overcoming your stress.  Whatever you do, be sure to have fun with them!

Overcome Stress #1. Clean up your finances! Realize your happiness is not dependent on having money or things. Don’t buy anything you can’t pay for today. Set a firm budget and find fun ways to create what you need with less money.

Overcome Stress #2. Sing along to your favorite uplifting music! Singing your blues away helps you open your mind to new creative possibilities.

Overcome Stress #3. Focus on loving your family and friends! Spend time every day building positive relationships. Your relationships are more important now than they’ve ever been before!

Overcome Stress #4. Find inexpensive, creative ways to have fun! Take a walk, go to the park, have a picnic, play games with your family, laugh and be silly together!

Overcome Stress #5. Clean out your closets and have a garage sale! Those old forgotten things you don’t need will be treasures to someone else.

Overcome Stress #6. Plant vegetable and flower seeds that will grow and bloom in the spring! Watching seeds grow and blossom gives you a living symbol of your own creative ability to grow and change.

Overcome Stress #7. Take a dance class and have fun moving to the music! Break out of your rut! Learning how to dance is sure to get you laughing and having fun. 

Overcome Stress #8. Practice random acts of kindness! Have fun surprising people with your kindness, both strangers and friends!

Overcome Stress #9. Serve others who are less fortunate! Researchers are now finding that the happiest people in the world are those who serve others in some meaningful way. Meditate on what would be a meaningful service you could enjoy providing in your world.

Overcome Stress #10. Visualize a new world peace and prosperity, with people all over the world working together for the good of everyone! Say these words as a daily prayer: “May all beings be happy; may all beings have peace and prosperity!”

This is a very exciting time to be alive! It’s very important that we all stay positive and playful and that we research creative, new ways to deal with our world issues. How we handle this important crisis in our lives may very well affect the future of many generations to come!
