Here’s a piece of advice I’ve heard from a few people, including the inimitable Lori Palatnik:
When faced with a dilemma, or when life gets overwhelming and throws a lot at you at once, ask yourself: What would I tell a friend in this situation?
And the voice in your head will shift to calming, bracing mode…
Get some sleep.
Spend the money.
Take one thing at a time.
Of course this is hard. It would be hard for anyone.
Focus on what matters most right now.
Take good care of yourself.
Pretty amazing how wise and compassionate we are, isn’t it?
