Actual for You - Stress Management: The Power of Expectancy
It never fails. You wait all year for the holiday season to come. And when it arrive. You get sick. You stress out trying to find the right gift for that special someone, you run around from holiday party to holiday party, and you forget about your own health and you get sick.Staying healthy during thi
Positive Expectancy
Here’s what positive expectancy is not:
burying your head in the sand and saying “everything will be all right.”
a glorified form of denial
a new term for “positive thinking”

We all know that one of the most important parts of advertising is getting your name out to prospective customers – but why use product promotions for that purpose instead of a different method?Product promotions offer a different way to get your name and company's product or service out to those peopl
“I wonder if I remember how to do this.” “Will I be able to get up?” “How soon will I crash?”
The rope tightened and I got up like I’d been doing this for years, began to ski and sure enough, the next thing I knew - crash - face full of lake.
Here comes the point of the story - As I floated in the water, waiting for the boat and the rope to come back around, I realized that the only reason I had crashed was because I had expected to crash.
The Power of Expectancy
The power of expectancy shapes our lives. I’ve found that most of us have either a negative expectancy (things won’t work out) or a positive expectancy (things usually work out). There doesn’t seem to be a middle ground.
Expectancy controls what we focus on, and what we focus on usually comes about.
Eeyore Expectancy
I call people that always focus on the negative “Eeyores.” For those of you who do not have kids or don’t remember the story, Eeyore is a donkey in the Winnie the Pooh story that mopes around, head hung to the ground, moaning and groaning about life.
The Language
“It’s just too good to be true”
“I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop” There are times when we are so sure that the other shoe is going to drop that we throw it down ourselves.
“If something bad can happen, it will, and it will happen to me.”
The Outcome
The outcome of “eeyore expectancy” is usually fairly lousy. Even if good stuff does happen, it’s easy to miss with your eyes dragging the ground. You get what you focus on.

Here is an example of the system gone wrong: a mortgage loan that encourages paying off one debt, in order to over extend yourself with another debt. This is what happens with the interest only loan and credit card debt. As a borrowing nation, I believe we’ve reached new depths.It would seem that in

When we lose our jobs, no matter the reason, we lose a big part of our identity. Think of the last several times you met new people. After names are exchanged and polite comments made on whatever event you are attending, the question quickly arises: "What do you do?"It's a pleasant starting point for c

Real estate markets are constantly subjected to a lot of fluctuations. However, a real estate investor who is well informed can still manage to make a lot of profit and not be affected by the fluctuations that occur. Just so that you do not misunderstand, real estate market will not rise and fall as quickly a

I don’t believe in “positive thinking”, at least not in the way it’s commonly portrayed. Example: while it’s pouring rain, walking through the rain saying “It’s not raining, it’s not raining, it’s not raining,” will get you soaked!
Positive expectancy IS an attitude. It’s an attitude that goes something like, “whatever happens, not only will we figure out a way to handle it, we’ll also find a way to make it work for us.”
