I started to add a daily coping tip to the SQLServerCentral newsletter and to the Community Circle, which is helping me deal with the issues in the world. I’m adding my responses for each day here. All my coping tips are under this tag.

Today’s tip is to add to your list of joys (or make one).

I wrote about making a list of joys a few weeks ago. I added this tip in the list at that time. If you didn’t make a list, do that now.

I’m adding a new one to my list. My wife and I are going to the Winter Park Jazz Festival this weekend. We’ll stay up in the mountains for a few days and enjoy listening to music and relaxing. It will be a little drive back and forth from our place up there, but we get to chill in our own, comfortable space, so it’s worth it.

Getting away with my wife is a new item for my list of joys.

Today’s tip is to pause, breathe, feel your feet firmly on the ground.

It’s been a couple hectic weeks. Despite getting the basics right more often, stress has been a little higher and there are a lot of things to tackle around the ranch.

This is a good reminder to stop, take a break, and breathe.

Yoga has been great for this, as well as remembering to ground myself. I do that physically, but it also helps my spirit.

Today’s tip is to get the basics right, eat well, exercise, go to bed on time.

I got out of my routine with a lot of travel. Then with getting ready for volleyball tryouts and catching up on ranch maintenance. I sometimes forgot to follow a good routine.

This is my second week at home and I’m getting better here. I am trying to get to bed around 1030, up at 7, get a small breakfast and coffee and get to work. I’m having my protein smoothie snacks, eating a reasonable lunch and dinner and finding time to get to the gym or go for a walk.

Tackling the basics while I can.

Today’s tip is to find something to look forward to today.

It’s Tuesday, which isn’t that different from any other day of the week for me now. The winter is different as I’ll be coaching Tuesday nights, but for now, this is just a day.

However, I like to go to yoga Tuesday mornings, and go through a class with an instructor that I enjoy. Waking up this morning, that’s what I am looking forward to doing after a little email and before a busy work day.
