Recession Proofing
A Healthy Perspective

Your number one priority for recession proofing is to get mentally, emotionally and spiritually fit to deal with loss of any kind; financial and/or personal.

What thoughts are racing through your mind during this economic slump?

Common recession proofing tips tend to slant toward recovery of material wealth - in the interest of commercial economics.

One Canadian newspaper reported in January, 2008 that consumer confidence is rising, evidenced by people purchasing big ticket items.

How is your emotional health?

A serious slump in the economy is enough to make anyone feel fearful and depressed. That is clearly not where you want to be. You cannot make wise decisions from fear.

Your thoughts of despair hold you prisoner…

Sometimes fearful thoughts are overwhelmingly captivating. It is difficult to switch to more positive thoughts, when our world seems to be caving in around us. We are human beings reacting the way humans do. Under such stressful pressure, who can remember that there are alternatives?

The easy solution…

Regular practice of meditation is a proven method of overcoming stress in overwhelming situations. But why wait until after the stress has impacted your mind and body?

If you make a habit of daily meditation, you are less likely to be impacted by emotional pain of external factors, such as economic recession.

Do you know that the average person thinks about 100,000 thoughts a day? Most of those thoughts are regretting the past, and worrying about the future. And that is on a normal day. Stressful situations stir up even more negative and chaotic thoughts. Confusion reigns.

What about affirmations?

Affirmations work well for some people. My mind however became even busier and more negative when I tried working with affirmations as a way to heal my emotional turmoil.

They they stirred up contradictions from my internal programming, doing nothing to calm my inner storm.

The kind of recession proofing we are aiming for here is permanent stress relief and a clear quiet mind to help you make good decisions from a place of clarity. For that you need to change your thinking patterns.

Meditation moves your awareness beyond thoughts...

An effective meditation brings your awareness into the present moment and quiets your mind. Your mind naturally seeks greater happiness deep within the silence at the core of your being.

The body responds by relaxing and healing itself. From that silent place within, your being radiates loving energy of peace and joy.

The Ishayas’ Ascension works best for me. The techniques are based on Praise, Gratitude and Love. Your energy expands and flows at a higher frequency. Thoughts that arise from the peaceful silence within radiate that energy out into the world around you. A positive loving thought will attract love back to you.

As a recession proofing tool, Ascension allows you to meditate with eyes open anywhere, anytime, even during stressful meetings, and conversations. It helps you to stay present in the moment and maintain your peaceful state of mind.

The Law of Attraction

In their book, The Law of Attraction, authors, Esther and Jerry Hicks write: That which is like unto itself, is drawn...You get the essence of what you are thinking about, whether it is something you want or something you do not want.

You've heard the phrase, what you focus your attention on grows. If you continue to allow the ego to captivate you with negative self-defeating thoughts, that is what you will create in your world.

Your peace of mind now is more important than anything else. It is the key to attracting the most effective tools for recession recovery.

An effective, albeit temporary fix…

If you do not have a meditation yet, you will find temporary relief from negative thoughts with this exercise to stop your busy mind chatter.

With a little practice, this easy exercise will create a safe place for you to retreat, and quiet your mind in the present moment.

Try it a couple of times and you will find it becomes easier and more peaceful. In the gaps between the thoughts is the sweet peace and joy that heals hurtful emotions.

Of course, I still encourage you to give yourself a loving gift and learn how to meditate. Just click here for more benefits of meditation.

Life gives you only what you can handle…

You are perfectly capable of handling whatever life delivers to you. You are perfectly capable of experiencing peace and joy now. Your happiness is not dependent upon external forces.

Recession proofing begins with peace of mind. Meditation will prevent you from slipping into a negative downward spiral in to depression. From a place of clarity you will more easily find your way out of these difficult times.
