How to Stay Upbeat & Positive
When Times are Difficult
If anyone tells you that
something is always going to
be easy, they’re selling you
something!
When you are selling a house,
you must always be honest about
its good and bad points, but
on top of that, you should also
remain upbeat and positive.
However, everyone gets the
blues, and no one says that real
estate is easy.
What can you do to keep your
spirits up when it feels like
nothing is moving and the
market is totally stacked against
you?
Understanding Happiness
The real estate industry has
definitely gone through some
ups and downs, but the truth is
that things are looking up, and so
should you.
More and more, experts are
realizing that happiness isn’t just
what happens to you. The quality
of being happy is something that
has a lot to do with a number of
factors.
The three at the top that are in
control of happiness include
genetics, circumstances and willpower.
Of the three, experts say
circumstances really only count
for about 10 percent of your total
happiness.
You can’t change your genetics,
and you can’t always change
your circumstances, so when
necessary, you will find that you
can rely on your own willpower
to pull you through.
Manage Your Stress
Remember that stress happens
to everyone. Stress is your body’s
response to things that are
possibly harmful.
In a gazelle, stress gives it the
energy and speed to get away
from a predator. The problem is
that when stress is not burned
off, it builds up in your system
until you are wound like a watch
spring with no where to go!
Learn stress management
techniques that work for you.
Some people learn to meditate,
other people do a lot of exercise,
and still others simply talk it out
with their friends.
Remember that there is no
shame in seeking professional
help to learn better stress
management skills!
