The Cure for the Recession (article)

Kate Phillips — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 05:39:54 +0000

“The quality of our life is the quality of our emotions.” Gas is over $4 a gallon, meanwhile foreclosures are up, workers are being laid off, and business owners are tightening their belts. The word “recession” is bandied about, sometimes in whispers (as if we’re afraid the economy might hear us), other times in not-so-soft complaints. I’m a prosperity coach, not an all-powerful genie who can cure this country of what ails it. However, I may have some “cures” that may help our individual suffering in a measurable way. We all have feelings about the current economic climate. Maybe we feel fear, frustration, worry, or resignation. Perhaps we feel relief that our job is safe, and guilt that our neighbor’s was not. Typically, the more we are personally and physically affected, the more intense our negative emotions are likely to be. And from a sheer “happiness” perspective, I would suggest that these emotions, and not the recession itself, are the cause of any pain we might feel. Understandably, when unemployment, foreclosure, illness or death comes to your household, it presents challenges, often challenges we have not yet learned to face. But who has not known or heard of a person with incurable cancer who was as peaceful as the Dalai Lama? Illness is not a reliable predictor of negative emotions (though much research indicates that laughter and optimism aid in healing). Being wronged does not preclude forgiveness and inner peace. Bad traffic doesn’t necessitate road rage. And call me crazy, but I don’t think a recession (whether personal or national) means we must succumb to gloom, doom, and fearful fretting. I once heard an intriguing statement: “The quality of our life is the quality of our emotions.” In other words, whatever we are feeling…
