I trust that unless you have been living in a bubble over the past few months you have spent some time thinking about, perhaps worrying about, what is happening with the current economic climate. nnThe media scripting may have you believing that a huge storm is brewing and many will be harmed during the storm. It’s tough to be laid off, or see your friends laid off. Or in business seeing your bottom line drop, however there is more than enough money in the world to facilitate every single person on the planet being provided for. nnWhat is important right now is to start working to understand how law of attraction really works. My thoughts create my reality, so if my thoughts are on doom and gloom, then my results will reflect that. The economy increases and decreases in response to what people are willing to feed it. Likewise, we have inside an inner economy that increases or decreases in response to our belief system. The economy on the inside is more important than anything happening on the outside. What is your belief system feeding your internal economy? The degree to which you are willing to challenge your belief system determines the success of your inner economy. nnThink of your belief system as being your map of reality. You will have beliefs that support you and beliefs that get in your way. My hope for you is that perhaps you have as part of your belief system the cliché idea of when the “going gets tough, the tough get going”, or “knowing is power” or how about “buy low sell high”, “don’t leave all your eggs in one basket.” If those ideas are not part of your core belief system then hopefully you had powerful role models as a child. Grandparents that were part of the depression, but were able to rise from the ashes and build successful lives regardless. If you are not sure what you believe, take a moment and reflect on your current behavior, are you shopping or are you hording, laying awake at night worrying or sleeping peacefully, gratefully look forward to your next success? Examine your current results by looking in your bank account. Those things will give you insight into what you believe.nnIf your results reflect that you obviously have some limiting beliefs operating, you can shift your inner economy and in fact could become a recession rebel. Start by doing a reality check, we often reinforce unhelpful beliefs by looking for evidence our belief is “right”. Turn on your television and fear based doom and gloom is EVERYWHERE, you certainly can find evidence to reinforce some not so helpful beliefs. Consider an alternate reality. There have been reports of a 1.8% drop in retail sales (other than new car sales), scary? I don’t think so. Companies are hiring, over 50 new companies signed up on the internet job listings to recruit people in the past two weeks. There are 55,000 jobs live on one job listing site. The following name –brand companies have posted over1300 jobs this past week alone: AT&T, Verizon, IKON and Sears. Change your thoughts, change your reality; it is possible to have a strong, stable economy, inside and out!
