How many times this week have you heard the expression – obviously – introduce
an answer? I counted eight on CNBC interviews in one day. When we start off
with – obviously - you are telling the listener to shut up because your view is the only sane approach. Try that in negotiation and you lose the argument and the war.
Bank vaults weighing 10 tons use a dual-controlled combination time lock against
entrance. I-already-know-that! is 3x stronger in closing your mind to new ideas.
Listen to these killer phrases: you must, you have to, you ought to, or you should. They are concrete roadblocks in the middle of the roadway. Each phrase is tell me
I have no options, and it is your way – or the highway. They are Deal Breakers.

To the child without experience, this catastrophe is permanent and he/she may
die. There they lie paralyzed, crying and bleeding, with the sure knowledge their
life is over.
Present unemployment in under 7% and may reach 10% in 2009.
In 1929-33 unemployment hung between 25-33%, and when it

Knowing
Have you personally experience a disaster – losing a job,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], ending a relationship,
or requiring a medical procedure (prostate surgery) and stopped functioning
because you expected the worse?
Catastrophizing
Should you reassure him/her with adult words or first delete the negative mental-movies and prepare the child to try again?

What is
The only thing we have to fear – is our own mind terrorizing our attitudes and
behaviors. There is a baby-easy strategy to loosen the chains of catastrophizing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],
and it works with both kids and adults.
Your fight-or-flight syndrome kicks in and you are cannot think, react reasonably or behave in a planned, logical way. You keep thinking about what occurred and your negative predictions of the future. That is truly a catastrophe.
Consider this:
The obverse of the coin when unemployment was 25%, was to trade with
the 75% who were benefiting by the lack of competition.
The sequence is: the activating event (bleeding), to the interpretation (beliefs and
evaluation) of the consequences, and finally the emotions involved.
The Strategy
“I am bleeding and it will never end. I could die.” Now the brain, specifically the
Amygdala in the Limbic System (control of emotions-instincts-reflexes), hi-jacks
the reasoning mind by producing mental-movies of death and destruction.
“Aw, I already know that!” You can think it - in your 3-pound coconut, or say it
aloud, Either way you close your mind to learning new information or discovering
a shade of knowledge or perhaps an example you never thought of.
Ever experience the scenario of an 8-year old falling off his first two-wheeler,
and lying on the road bleeding profusely from his knees and palms?
Castastrophizing is an irrational belief that something is far worse than it actually is. This economy is not a calamity, fiasco, disaster nor cataclysm (flood). It is part
of a cycle which goes up for a decade and stops for profit-taking (recession), and
readjusts the playing field.
We have closed three-times (3x) the number of financial transactions in the pass 30 days than in 2007. No brag,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the amounts are staggering even in the age of billions.
So what?
You can delete the negative mental-movies in less than 90 seconds. Al
It squeezes out the fat, and this time it is the financial institutions and brokerages houses that tanked, last time it was the Dot Coms. And the economy absorbs them, and moves forward once again.
If you read the newspapers, and watch CNN etc. Henny-Penny is running around the farm yard screaming – the sky is falling, and we are all doomed!
