You do everything to the best of your abilities, even have some nice plans for the future. Suddenly the other party (your boss/friend/partner/body) fundamentally breaches your unwritten agreement. He/she/it is not there for you anymore. The change is out of your control, yet you suffer the consequences. You blame yourself for not noticing the symptoms. Too late for that, the change would have come sooner or later. You are never really ready for it anyway. You remember that time heals almost everything, but until that happens, use these tips. They may (or may not) help.
- Rationalize - the matter is out of your control, there is nothing you can do anyway, let the time pass.
- You know the 'why me' type whining is not helpful, so don't.
- Occupy your time with activities (time passes faster that way), but don't try to read a book. You can't concentrate anyway.
- Even if you feel like being alone, resist the temptation. Have a good talk with a friend instead.
- Do some physical exercise you enjoy (walk, swim, etc.).
- Take a massage, bathe in a jacuzzi or indulge in some other body pampering that works for you.
- Listen to/play music or sing.
- Stay away from comfort food.
- Count your blessings.
- Write a blogpost about coping with negative changes.
