Survival Through Reinforcement
Rucker agrees, adding that a sense of power can be restored by having a close friend affirm what they value about you: "It's not enough to think to yourself why you're good -- you need others pouring in support for you."
Financially speaking, it helps to be conscious of what you can control: managing spending, boosting income by moonlighting or selling goods on eBay, evaluating how much risk you're really comfortable with, and reducing investment fees. Then set achievable goals. For instance, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell about 40 percent in 2008, wreaking havoc with college and retirement portfolios. Figuring out how to save more in 2009 -- rather than day-trading in hopes of rebounding from losses -- is a more rational response that will help restore a sense of control.
