Coping endlessly with adversity is vital.
How are you coping with the drought?
I awoke this morning and thought, “Hell, what will I do about the drought or the COVID-19 virus?” I listened to the news broadcasts for direction. Because of my age, my wife and I decided to take affirmative action. If we were going to be coping endlessly, affirmative action was necessary.
- Cancel all social engagements as a safety precaution.
- Practice self-isolation.
- Control what we can control.
- Stay calm and contain your emotions.
- Seek perspective until the crisis passes.
- Make decisions about the future direction of our business.
We thought about it: “How will our future change, and what will we do about it”? While it’s pushing many out of long-established comfort zones, we must revive our engines to take advantage of the opportunities discovered.
While the COVID-19 outbreak or drought was the most prominent topic globally, new opportunities will soon become apparent in every workplace and regional, rural, and remote communities.
What would it mean for you to be able to share your wisdom and gifts, especially now, to ease someone else’s problems and frustrations, lift their spirits, allow them to dream of possibilities again, or teach them something they want or need?
Coping endlessly will require new disciplines.
Perhaps this is the time to take working remotely seriously. Working from a home-based business or moving to a regional, rural or remote area. If you’re currently working, you have more than likely expected to work from home, at least until the crisis passes.
Of course, the stress caused is hard on everyone. Suppose you’re currently looking for a job. In that case, this might understandably emphasise the remote part of it to help support your efforts in finding and establishing a new business or career.
Inclusiveness in the remote rural areas, in particular, and the regions generally lag in terms of employment and growth opportunities. There are many things you can’t control. However, there is one thing you can manage: ‘how you respond to adversity’.
If you don’t believe and have faith in yourself, don’t expect others to. You may never have another time when you can make such a small sacrifice and potentially change your career or reshape your business to achieve the desired outcomes.
Coping endlessly may require new disciplines to help with your approaches. https://faqsupport.com.au/contact-us/
