Do You Choose to Be Down, or Adapt and Prosper?

We live in trying times. The economy is in decline. Unemployment is up and still rising. House prices keep dropping and foreclosures keep climbing. Things are tough all over.

If you are worrying about your house being foreclosed, you can take heart that help seems to be on the way. Banks and mortgage lenders are getting tired of increasing their inventory of unoccupied houses for sale. They are willing to go to extraordinary means to keep existing mortgage-holders in their homes.

Can you imagine how awful you would feel if they changed the rules so that you could keep your house? And this happened two weeks AFTER your home was foreclosed on and lost?

You are not helpless in the face of this threat. There are many things you can do to protect yourself and get a much better deal/treatment if you know how to avoid foreclosure

Trying times like these mean increases in tension and anxiety. How will you adapt and cope? What do you do when you cannot afford expensive therapists, analysts and the traditional ways to lower stress?

An excellent way to reduce stress is to learn to crochet. Keeping the hands busy in repetitious handiwork is somewhat akin to using a mantra during meditation. It erases the static of worry from the blackboard of the mind and frees the upper part of the mind to relax and see things more clearly.

For many, difficult times means anxiety and putting on weight. You can control your weight economically by using the banana diet. It’s easy, cheap and very effective.
