What to do when you are dealing with a top Ten Stressor!

If you read my blog you already know the first step to manage a big stressor(i.e. moving, divorce, grief) please take care of yourself as well, not last. This is a classic mistake many people make taking care of everyone else first, which of course puts us last. Yes, please make the important people in your life as comfortable as you can and also make yourself as comfortable as possible. This can look like a deep breath or two, maybe a hot bath, dinner out with the girls, football out with the boys, whatever will help you laugh, cry, smile, feel comfortable and gives you an opportunity to take a break from the crisis.
Step two, do what you can to experience your emotions whether they are sad, mad, frustrated, upset, etc. Let them come out when you feel them. When we censor our emotions under stress they have a tendency to come out as anger towards those closest to us. 
Step three, don't spend time questioning yourself. Make the best decision you can considering the circumstances and then go with it. This is not the time to think decisions are good or bad; they are just good, better and best.
Step four remind yourself that the situation or emotion is temporary and you will get through it.
Step five call a therapist or life coach if none of this works.
