17 Simple, Practical and Shareable Strategies for Dealing with Uncertain Times
2 min readFeb 24, 2021
We are living in unprecedented times. We’ve absolutely not seen anything like this before — and not many will wish to see it ever again.
In the first phase of Covid-19, I wrote this eBook. I am sharing it here for my blog readers
Remember, unprecedented times demand unprecedented actions — and few back-to-basics
as well.
I hope and pray that it helps.
- You may have to work for less; but doing it with a smile will make it better. Trust me.
- Volunteer to do more. It allows you to learn more and be more.
- Take better than usual care of yourself and encourage others to do the same — physical well-being significantly impacts mental well-being and response to stress.
- Get over with “good old days” — nostalgia is self-destructive and will do no good. Consume your mental energies in imagining a better future and work for it.
- Tell yourself that “this too shall pass,” but then remind yourself that it might not pass anytime soon; and so, rededicate yourself to making the absolute best of what you have now.
- Stay in touch with customers. Stay in touch with colleagues. Stay in touch with vendors. Stay in touch with friends. Stay in touch with relatives. Stay in touch!
- Find ways to be around positive people — they are less likely to be members of the “sky is falling” club.
- Invest in your skills. Learn something new every week. Something every day!
- Remind yourself, daily, that this is your exam for Courage, Competence, Character, Grace — and your Faith.
- Network like a demon. Get to know more folks.
- Celebrate small wins.
- Absolutely avoid negative people as much as you can. Remember, pollution kills.
- Use J.R.T. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMkFd2j5xQc
- Mind your manners — and forgive others for their manners. They might not be as cool as you in dealing with it.
- Be kind. Kindness gives you supernatural strength.
- Be an icon of personal responsibility and accountability.
- Pray.
