I'm sure you've heard the news that now Phoenix has been named the city with the biggest drop in home prices,,, some 47%! How do we as agents survive?
Lately I've noticed that there are a lot of depressed people all around me! The "hard luck" stories keep coming with a vengeance so I've been thinking about this and what we can do to survive during this time.
1. Postive thinking just isn't working for me so I'm resorting to.....eating cookies!
2. Since I'm eating the cookies I'm exercising more which in turn is good for my health.
3. Since I'm exercising more I'm drinking more water which is certainly good for my skin and general health as well.
4. I'm surrounding myself with positive things....like my dog! Have you ever noticed how good a life your dog has? Many times I've wished I was my dog owned by me! I love watching his ears flop as he joyfully plays. I also love being with my grandchildren (9 of them!). Have you noticed that children are oblivious to this economic downturn? Children can offer great happiness and joy if you just watch them and see the fun they have as they play.
5. Prayer has been helpful but many times I don't feel like He is answering although I'm sure He is! Anyway, it's good just to "get it off my chest!"
I know the "glass half full, half empty" stuff; " "Have faith, the market will turn deal;" "This is the market millionares are made in line;" and on and on. I guess for me to make it through this downturn as an agent I need to concentrate on learning new things; I can't be "stuck" in the old way of doing things. I need to solidify my relationships with my husband, family and clients. Even though I'm working harder than before (and making less money!) I need to take time off to enjoy life. It passes by so quickly. I don't want to miss those simple things by concentrating too heavily on the things that really won't matter 100 years from now!
Good luck in your journey!
