1) Take Positive Action: Do
not risk a setback or prolonged recovery by failure or inaction in protecting
yourself.
2) Seek Help: Get help
early from understanding doctors and care givers. Get help early from experienced
legal cousel. Knowing your limits is a strength not a weakness.
3) Prioritize: Attack
the most important problems first.
4) Take Small Steps: Just
as 'Rome was not built in a day'; you may have a lot of problems, but you will
only wear yourself out if you try too much, too fast.
5) Breathe: Take time
for yourself and take in more oxygen. It will help you to maintain your energy.
6) Count: Bottled frusteration
with dysfunction can result in haste and anger. Impulsive angry minds seldom
make the right decisions.
7) KIS: Keet it simple
with clear objectives.
8) Keep The Faith: Do
not break faith with those who are trying to help you; whether family, friends,
doctor or lawyer. Driving from the back seat will only cause another crash.
9) Ask But Listen: Ask
questions but do heed the answers, especially from your doctor and lawyer. Remember
a true friend does not always tell you what you want to hear.
10) Follow Golden Rule: Treat
others as you would like others to treat you. It is hard to appreciate adjustors
and others who do not fully understand. Always remember what goes around, comes
around.
11) Take Time For Yourself: Place
your recovery needs first. Program healing time into your schedule, especially
if you are self-employed or a mother with children. Remember that 'Running On
a Broken Ankle' is counter productive and short sighted.
12) Plan For The Worst: Always
have an alternative plan B in case plan A does not work out.
13) Turn Adversity To Advantage: Look
for ways to make lemonade from lemons.
14) Never Give Up Hope: Where
there is a will, there is a way.
