LaunchTip:
Feeling down, unmotivated or indecisive? Experts in positive psychology might tell you to “imagine the worst” as a first step towards getting out of a rut. Optimists say that when you mentally review what could go wrong in a very specific scenario, you are more likely to consider solutions and feel prepared, ultimately reducing anxiety and enhancing your coping skills. The key to this strategy is to be specific. Avoid generalized negative thoughts like “my life will fall apart” or “I’ll lose all my money.” Instead hone in on your worry in a very granular way and determine solutions or methods of dealing with each problem on a stand-alone basis. Frame things in the positive and use language that reflects impermanence. In other words, in your self-talk, try to avoid words like “never” (“I can never get it right”) or “always” (“this always happens to me.”). Down periods and periods of self-doubt are transient and will eventually pass. The best thing you can do to get through these periods unscathed is to create a mentally positive environment, best accomplished through positive affirmations and constructive self-talk.
LaunchOpportunity:
Tax season is coming up quickly and we all know it’s a burden. Outsourcing your business taxes can help you focus on your business goals for 2010. How you file your reports depends on the type of business you own. With over 30 different types of tax returns you can file, it can get complicated and result in penalties and fines if you file incorrectly.
