I recently read an article about stress and realized I had experienced the entire list of top 5 most stressful life events in the last 2 years – a couple more than once!  I was glad to happen upon the list since it was satisfying to know I had successfully navigated through such a tough time in my life.

COVID-19, of course, presents its own unique kind of challenges and I doubt there is anyone not experiencing a whole new level of stress as a result of the pandemic!   It needs its own life experience stress list!

I am sure I am not alone in losing all my employment as a result of COVID-19 – it’s scary!

You may have noticed I haven’t been posting at my regular frequency and that is because all my time online is now spent job searching.  It is hard to find something to post when the main activity of the day is looking for job postings!

In the same way I was able to get through the last 2 years, I am determined to get through these COVID-19 times successfully and not suffer setbacks in all the progress I have made in my life.

Spending every second behind the screen searching for open positions may not be the best for my stress level, so I am making a promise to myself to try and continue to post regularly – even if only one time each week.  Don’t worry – I won’t be posting job search details!  I am making a commitment to myself to change up my environment – even if only for a short time – at least once each week.

I am hoping a different environment will change up my perspective and give me some new motivation each week.  This week I changed it up with a new walk!

How are you dealing with the stresses caused by COVID-19?

Thanks for stopping by!
