7 Steps You Can Take to Avoid Panicking
It Doesn't Help, You Know
Part 2
by Susan Dunn

Page: 1 2

STEP FOUR: Bring in extra resources for taking care of yourself.

Treating your physical body well, and having someone to talk to will help. Also remember "water inside, water outside." If you have plenty of money, just book the appointments: Get massages. Hire a coach or therapist. Make an appointment with a nutritionist and start supplements to bolster your immune system. (Stress attacks your immune system.)

Sit in the hot tub at the Club an extra hour or take a cruise. (Drink water, be in water, look at water.) Sign up for the night tennis league for more exercise, and take Tai Chi and Meditation.

However, if you are also tight on funds, here are suggestions:

• Talk to your minister or rabbi
• Try the Stephen Ministry, an outreach offered by thousands of church organizations that's interdenominational and free. You'll be given a trained layperson to walk with you at this difficult time. Start calling churches to find one.
• If there is a lake, river or ocean nearby, go there and sit and look at it (paddle on it, swim in it).
• See if your friends' apartment complexes have hot tubs or swimming pools you can use.
• Find free public facilities for swimming, tennis, biking.
• Walk in parks. Go to free art museums. (Nature and culture are healing.)
• If your problem is financial, or credit card debt, go see a bankruptcy attorney. The appointment is free. To make a plan you need information. You need to know your options, and your Uncle Henry's is not good enough.
• Find a Prayer Service. Go there and let them pray for you.
• Check the yellow pages and see if there's a non-profit counseling center that has a sliding scale fee.
• Drinking water is free. Do it.
• Trade massages with your partner or a friend.

STEP FIVE: Do NOT isolate yourself.

This is the worst thing you can do for your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health, and will have long-term effects beyond the current crisis.

When her husband died, my Great Aunt Louise, a very resilient person, told me, "If you're having a dog fight, invite me. I need to be with people." That's healthy and assertive.

Get back into groups you've let drop, and join new ones. Add a mid-week religious service. Find a Sunday School class that's interactive. Volunteer for group projects. Continue making and accepting invitations.

STEP SIX: Make a strategy.

It's important that you actually write it down. Make a column for each challenge you're facing, and underneath each one write the steps you can take. Prioritize the issues, and take the first step under the most important one. Continue.

A coach, therapist or Stephen minister can help you with strategy. But first you have to calm your emotions (and take care of your health).

STEP SEVEN: Take action.

And P.S., stay away from negative people.
