The Falling Down Professions - Quick Tips

Ok - quick and dirty - here's the deal. Most of you who have written and spoken to me about being in one of the "falling down professions" want relief NOW. TODAY. YESTERDAY. LAST WEEK/MONTH/YEAR/ DECADE?.
Each situation is different but first - don't do anything drastic. It takes time to figure out what you want, what to change and how to change it. The change that's right for your friend who emailed the article to you and who you've been complaining to for the last ______ might not be the right change for you.

Start by thinking about what it is that you would like. Sounds simple. It is but it's also complicated.

Now, to get relief immediately begin incorporating pleasure into your daily life. Sounds simple. It can be. Think of the things that make you smile, laugh, feel a bit more relaxed, a bit less tense. It can be physical activity, it can be intellectual stimulation, a vacation day or hour, a walk in the park, a spa day, a skiing trip, a weekend in a warm climate, whatever works for you.

This allows you to feel better about your daily life and gives you more energy to think and plan for a better future.

What will you do today? What will you plan for tomorrow? One tiny thing at a time can make a big difference.
