I was so pleased to find Helcim Payment Gateway. When any of my clients pay by credit card or debit card I put their payment through Helcim. Their rates are very low. They deposit my funds into my bank account very quickly, usually within two business days. They take their fees off my revenue before they deposit it into my bank account, so I don’t have their fees as a separate invoice. Their support is. . . Read More

Don’t Punish Myself – I realized that if I put myself down for being afraid or anxious, then I have two problems instead of just one – the anxiety, and feeling bad about myself. It’s OK to be afraid at a time like this. It’s natural. I just do my best to keep my mind off it, and keep moving. I’m a good person trying my best, so what else can I do? I’m learning. . . Read More

Some of the skills that help me stay positive are quicker and easier than others. Laugh – I realized long ago the healthiest thing I can do for myself is to be happy. When you’re happy your body produces hormones that make your immune system stronger. They say that’s the most effective defense against Covid-19. Those same hormones make you feel better, function better, and improve your health both short and long term. Watching The. . . Read More

Here are the methods I learned to stay positive during times of stress. I divided them into four categories. On this page are the ones I do first. Take Action – When something bad happens I look for things I can control in the situation, and work on those. If I’m not sure what to do, I do anything I can think of.
