How to be optimistic
Recognize the good and bad in your life and examine how you've been affected by each.
Optimism doesn't mean you have to feel " happy " all the time. In fact, trying to force feelings of happiness during potentially traumatic experiences can be unhealthy.
OPTIONS:
- Instead, embrace the good in life and try to believe that the good will come first. Practice accepting the negative that comes with the bad.
- Focus on the good and the bad parts of your life. Look at the positive aspects of your life and ask yourself what have they all got to do with staying optimistic.
- Instead, attune yourself to the full range of emotions in your life, accepting that the negative as well as positive feelings are a natural part of human experience. Trying to repress a certain type of emotion can cause severe emotional distress.
- It also doesn't mean you should try to replace old qualities with things good. For example, if you find yourself being pessimistic or sad some of the time, recognize how much you are struggling to cope and try to replace those two qualities with things you care about.

OUT: Instead, attune yourself to the full range of emotions in your life, accepting that the negative as well as positive feelings are a natural part of human experience. Trying to repress a certain type of emotion can cause severe emotional distress.

- There is a clear immediate sensation of numbness or tingling in the back and legs. A strange heavy weight may weigh on you as you fall.
- This will give you a few seconds to act. While not everyone experiences fainting episodes the same way, most people have some combination of the following : Increased sweating despite a cold sensation.

How to survive staying in a hotel while your home is being renovated
Nail down an actual start and end date from your contractor.
One of the most important ways to survive hotel living is to know when your family " togetherness " will end. Typically contractors may give you an end date, but will most likely be extended beyond that specific day.
OPTIONS:
- Add at least one week onto the contractor's end date. For your mental health, if your contractor tells you the job will only last one week, get it into your mind that you will out of the house for two.
- Here are some helpful dates : The date your home is being remodeled and/or the date in which your renovating will take place. The date you will need to let your contractor know what will happen once your home is done repairs.
- Decide the end date at which you will be staying at that point. Don't be afraid to ask family if they want to come along.
- Inquire up front about how long the project will be and how you can create a realistic plan to support it. Don't wait around for a clear date-see it as an opportunity to show a copy of the contract to your team.

OUT:
Add at least one week onto the contractor's end date. For your mental health, if your contractor tells you the job will only last one week, get it into your mind that you will out of the house for two.
