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 spend time wishing for other people to be happy and well.

This is like praying for others. I don’t know that it helps them, but I do think it’s a positive coping step for me to think positively about others and wish them well.

I have a few friends in this community that are struggling with physical or mental health issues. A few others have Covid. I’m wishing them well today, hoping that their struggles are short and not too impactful to their lives.

Today’s tip is to be kind and supportive to everyone you interact with.

An easy one today. I’m in Redmond, at VS Live, with the chance to smile, be kind, and helpful to everyone. I am writing this ahead, but I have a reminder to go out of my way today to follow this tip. From service personnel, to attendees, fellow speakers, and even other guests of the hotel.

Today’s tip is to send an uplifting message to someone you can’t be with.

I travel a lot, but I still don’t see as many people as I’d like, or see them often. I’ve been very lucky in life to meet so many people all over the world and have great moments with them.

There are plenty of people I can’t be with in the short term, but one of them is my brother. I’ve got a busy fall and not sure if I can find time to get out there, so I sent him a note to remind him I’m thinking of him and wishing him well. It was good timing, as the next week was his anniversary, so I got a reason to send another uplifting message.

Today’s tip is to set an intention to be kind to others and yourself this week.

This week I’m traveling to Redmond and Los Angeles. I will encounter service people in restaurants, drivers for taxis, airport workers, and many attendees at events. My wife is also going to LA with me to enjoy a weekend together after SQL Saturday Los Angeles 2022.

I am making a conscious effort today to be kind to others, let small things go, be empathetic and understanding. I’m also going to remember that this will be extra time and stress out of my week and I need to ensure I eat well, find some time to exercise, and relax when I can.
