You're fired! ... You're laid off... The business has closed...

Oh good Lord, what am I going to do ? How am I going to pay the rent? ... feed my family? ... pay the bills?

The most frightening thing of all is the fear of the unknown. And when the unknown includes something as basic as your own personal survival and that of your loved ones, the panic kicks into overdrive. Your reactions are automatic. You're into 'Fight or Flight' and your ability to think clearly is severely compromised.

You start worrying constantly. How will I survive? . . What if I lose my home? . . Could I have done anything differently? . . Should I have left earlier? . .

STOP!! The above scenario is so very familiar - and so very self-defeating! What you're doing is looking back at the past over which you can't do anything about - and worrying about the future - which, according to statistics, will probably never happen.

What you need to do is to change your thinking!

Here is a strategy which ALWAYS works:

1. First, Stop worrying. To worry is always counter-productive. The more you think about something, the more it will be brought into your life.

"Thoughts are things and they come to pass
the world is but your looking glass"

2. The easiest way to stop worrying about something is to make a plan to tackle it. First think things through. Get a paper and pencil and put every solution you can think of in writing - even the most far fetched ideas. Think 'solution' instead of 'problem' and you'll be amazed what comes to mind.

3. Take Action. Plan the steps to take. Write letters. Make phone calls. Talk to people. There's always at least one step that you can take today.

4. Know inside yourself that you are in the process of creating your solution. Know that indeed the universe is working with you and that you're not alone in this pursuit. Once you've started this process ideas will come tumbling out, people will show up and the first thing you know, the problem starts turning around. HAVE FULL FAITH IN THE PROCESS!

5. Be open to all the wonderful and awesome things that will start happening in the next few days. Remember though, your idea of the ideal solution may not be the best one at this time. Be open to all the possibilities and you, like I did, will look back on this time of stress and upset and realize that instead it turned out to be a time of miracles.

The universe is essentially abundant. Everything in the universes is available to you. Your part in this process is to decide what you want, be very clear about it, do everything you can to bring it about, then put your faith in the process knowing that impossible solutions are already in process.

Once you get to this step, do whatever you can yourself and then hand it off to the universe and RELAX! The truly most exciting things happen when you're not looking.

This strategy can be used for any of your problems in your life.

Use this method. Peace and Joy will be your reward ..
