This sure is going to be an interesting year. The only people collecting a paycheck are those running programs on how to get a job. A ton of advice on how to "sell" yourself. I don't want to be sold, I'm an escaped wage slave. Plenty of 'woe is me' out there and I'm finding more people at the yoga studio because their antidepressant medical coverage ran out. If a church doesn't have a weekend soup kitchen, it's not a place of worship but a business pulling the old con of delayed reward.
What I can tell people is do all you can, work at it in a conscious way, to improve your mental health. I know a job and money is important - I've worked hard for a long time and not in the best financial place either - don't let the bastards grind you down. Be kind to all people, probably not a single person you see or interact with is your enemy. Those that are causing trouble economically ride in tinted window limosines, park below ground, go up to their offices in private elevators, make decisions ruining your life and return to their gated community in the early evening. It's important in your private thoughts to understand who the enemy is and direct those thoughts accordingly.
Those people that are rude or insensitive in your daily life need understanding, forgiveness, training and time. Stress is passed from person to closest person, it seems. The emotionally intelligent don't react like a reptile. Their reaction is different than just passing stress on. It either contains it, rearranges it, or stops it in it's ugly tracks. It doesn't pay to validate anger of another or hate along side another with a common enemy. We are here together on this rock to improve each others' lives with a nice word, thought or deed. It takes work not to be a sponge or mirror of destructive behavior, but looking closely I see more and more examples to find inspiration. If you have a job, don't make the torment worse.
Seek and find inner peace.
