While my phone is recharging, drained because I have been on it a lot, here's the update... Started getting much better sleep. I didn't awaken at all last night. And when I did, my mind did not immediately begin zipping to the challenge ahead.
So, I hit the snooze button.
A couple times.
A welcome relief.
Also, someone has stepped forward and provided appropriate and timely advice and other comments. She got me to bring the picture into a narrower focus; to figure out what I needed to do and create a plan. Positive comments were also welcomed and the term 'life coach' came up. I think it is appropriate. That's what she just did... and we all need that.
Right?
And my point is, you never know whom will step forward and provide a perspective or input that you hadn't previously considered. Only on a whim did I tell her when I could have easily kept the information to myself. So, tell as many people as you feel comfortable telling about being laid-off and looking for new work. The more people you tell, the more people can become your teammates in helping you.
