Lose heart or give up – stay uninformed and in the dark and worry about the future
Question Why? Spend hours watching the talking heads on TV tell you who’s at fault and why. And of course, believe them!
Grumble and Complain – Yep, that always makes you feel better and solves pretty much everything. It surely will lighten the spirit of those around you.
Indulge in Self Pity – As you are the only one affected, make sure you focus on all that you are losing in this crisis… because it’s all about you.
A BETTER PATH!
Have hope! Tomorrow, next week, next month will be better.
If you’re a scientist, yes, question how this happened and seek answers. If not, focus on what you will do when it passes.
Call an old friend, relative or neighbor. Make a renewed connection! Focus on the good times and not this small fraction of your life.
Consider how other people are in much more dire situations than you – there is always someone who has greater problems than you.
Choose this time to read a book, write a letter, play music, or look at old photo albums. We all complain that we don’t have time to do these things. Now we do!
