Editor's Notes
- NATURE. When stress is very high; leave the situation immediately and do something distracting. You will come back to a better state of mind in which to think, make decisions, and work. If you can’t afford a gym: Allegheny County Parks and Rec; YMCA; sometimes yoga studios have work study programs.
- How I did that with cancer. How I am trying to do it now.
- Rest, take breaks, eat well, exercise. Get a better roof over your head. Find your tribe. Do things to make you feel better and take your mind off of the challenge. You will come back to it refreshed. TIPS; Aldis; Trader Joe’s. Getting out: Theaters offer pay-what-you-can. Go to free happy hours of networking groups, and get yourself work as well! MonMade.
- You may need to do a lot of research. Throughout this process, you will find your natural decision-making style. Use it.
- Get on a schedule. Get someone to hold you accountable. Notebook. Spreadsheet. Google sheets. Lots of other tools out there. DO EXERCISE. Remember to include a part for research if it is the type of problem that needs it.
- TAKE MEDS IF NEED THEM.
- Some of mine are: doing research, getting exercise, talking to the right people. Some that did not work for me…..support groups (depending on the support needed), counseling/therapy (depending on therapist),
- You are learning resilience. Cancer. Momcare, jobhunt, ageism, technology. TELL US ABOUT YOUR SURVIVAL SKILLS. PRACTICAL TOOLS, EMOTIONAL COPING MECHANISMS, RESEARCH IDEAS, ETC.
- Mom going into assisted living. Me having nothing when I get old.
- My experience with cancer as something to just get through. Versus my experience now with something I don’t know if I can get through. Maybe there is no lesson. Let it go.
