Credit Crunch...or new opportunities?

The news and other media are normally crammed full of negative things that are happening in our world and lately the focus is on the state of the world's financial status and how this could affect us.

I must admit, I don't watch much T.V. as I find a lot of it disempowers me and leaves me feeling flat. But, these negative stories are what sells papers.

I have a friend who, come rain or shine, will tell me a story of something negative that is happening in the world and will proffer advice on why I shouldn't do this or that because of the risks involved. I'm glad I have balance in my life, because I have lots of other friends who are supportive and positive, they look for the ways things can be achieved and the ways to overcome the obstacles in the way to achieve.

One of these friends was telling me this week how he had bought some computer hardware as it was now so cheap, if you look around now is a great time to buy things and invest in yourself.

But the main point I want to make is that any situation in life is what we make it. Our brains are trying to take in 4 million bits of information at anyone time, but we are only able to process 134 of them. So if you are filling these 134 bits with the negative things around you, this will affect the way you feel and consequently your behaviour towards those around you. However, if you choose to read positive books, surround yourself with positive friends, breath fresh air (I love the crispness this time of year) and eat healthy food, guess what? You'll feel a lot more positive and that will affect the way you behave around those you love and care for.

We will always be faced with challenges in our lives, how we deal with these affects, not only the way we feel but whether we succeed in life or not. Sometimes we need help with that, yes, even therapists, but if that can help you achieve want you want more quickly, then it's good enough for me.

Remember, when you're ready to move forward and leave something negative behind, I'm on the end of a telephone.

Call me now on 024 7667 5520, invest in yourself!

Kind regards,

Nick
