Coping with a Job Loss
Recession

A depression is, when you lose

Panic is, when your wife loses her
job

A job
loss is a very serious event in any person's life, and
for an older person, say over 50, it can be catastrophic.
This page has been created, not to be facetious, but
rather to help you in your endeavor to keep, or regain
some sanity in a world, that has been turned upside down,
for you and your family.
So here
are a few suggestions to make your life bearable,
not least for the people around you, because stress often
turns into aggression, which turns into hate and dislike,
and the last thing you want is, that your family starts
to hate you. You need them and they depend on
you!
 |
Make
time for yourself. Relax, read a book,
watch a film, take a walk. It does not matter
what you do, as long as it gets you off, brooding
about your predicament. Take a half an hour a
day, or even an hour a day, away from your
worries. It will do wonders for your mood and you
become a "bearable" person again. |
|
Try
to get a daily dose of humor. Read the
comics in your local paper. Or, alternatively,
buy an inexpensive comic book - something like
the Far Side or Asterix
or "1001 jokes". If you get
yourself a library card, you can look at
some of these types of books for free! |
|
Budgeting
will be a chore, because it means that you have
to convince members of your family to restrict
doing, what they normally do! Make
cutting your expenses into a game for the family!
See how many coupons you and
your family members can find, for everyday items
that you buy! See who can save most money
per week, then let that person decide the Friday
Night menu or the DVD you will rent or watch. |
|
Get
out the board games for family fun:
Monopoly, Clue, Life, Scrabble! Any of these
games will provide hours of free entertainment as
well as relaxed quality time with the family. |
|
Now is a good
time to check for activities at your local
community center. Most towns and cities
have some kind of center that offers dancing
lessons, excersise classes, aerobics, yoga,
tennis lessons etc. By and large, these courses
are not expensive. It is a great place
for both parents and children to find new fun
activities and at the same time
"save money". |
How
to Handle Disputes and Arguments
Try to
avoid arguments with your spouse and children. especially
about unimportant matters, that is not going to solve any
real problems. It might sound silly at first, but if you
find yourself annoyed or angry at someone, count to ten
or twenty, before you respond! Or, walk away for 30
minutes and come back, when you can analyze the causes of
your annoyance in a less emotional state. Your
differences and disputes can then be worked out in a more
productive way.
Keep
calm and breath deeply!
