I tend to be the one boosting everyone's sprits in our office. I love taking on that roll...and making others feel good just comes natural. Nevertheless, I had a bad day yesterday. I am still not use to loans just falling apart (i.e.: client's losing their jobs, banks just not responding, you name it.) I am lucky that I have a supportive group of co-workers around me... but I kind of feel that since I am such a cheerleader, when I am down and out, it scares everyone else. My question is....where do you go for a mental/emotional "boost"!? In the market we are all lucky to be in, we need to support each other any way we can. I would love to hear your ideas on how to keep positive (which in turn keeps you motivated).

Meghan, I know what you're feeling. Most of the time I am that person like you. Every once in a while I feel like I need a boost myself.

Meghan, sometimes a good conversation with a friend can be helpful, but in the end most things clear up in the process of life itself---if you just let them be. "Cures" can sometimes just cover up the problem and you have to deal with it later anyway.

Meghan: Count your blessings every morning. I've had my bad days and, like yourself, I'm a very positive person too. It's been tough but if I think about 5 things that are more important than my professional life and count my blessings...I feel much better and it helps put things in to prospective.
My kids are healthy, I'm getting up at home and not in a hospital, I have people who care about me, I have clients who are advocates and suppor me, I'm still married to my 18 year old husband and best friend...and I'm still in the business even though half of my peers aren't...
Make it a happy day...I'm sure YOU will. All The Best!
