I’m trying not to look and dwell on the bad stuff that came my way recently but look for hope instead.
I know that getting stuck in a rut about trying to think how to solve a new problem doesn’t help you solve it clearly.
I am an ex engineer from Silicon Valley and I have been taught pretty well how to solve problems, so I am going to work on solving this problem of losing my job by going to the beach and having fun. I think distancing yourself from a new problem like this helps you. My heating supplier showed me how to do this when we had an issue with a ductwork sealing job. When we discovered the problem my buddy told me that we need to leave the job and head to a park to chill out. The HVAC job was a bit stressful with the duct issue, but after going to the park for a few hours and talking about everything but HVAC technology we were able to come back and attack the problem from a fresh perspective. I need to find a job sometime next month so that I can pay my rent for August, so I still have time and should be fine. I have three more days of heating and cooling writing work still before my work ends and then I will take a few days to just relax and forget about it all. Then I will come back with a fresh mind and will look for a job online and probably get one within a week.
