Panic is everywhere. In the newspaper, on the TV and the internet everything seems to be crumbing around our ears. For 5,000 people at Lehman Brothers they must be struggling with so many emotions right now from panic, despair, sorrow, anger and loss.

What on earth do you do with a situation like this?

One thing that people often forget is that they are allowed to go through the grieving process. Google it, look it up and do a bit of research for yourself. By being thrown a curve ball like this your world is suddenly in temporary turmoil.

The important word there is temporary. Important for two reasons:-
1: It’s not permanent, so it WILL end.
2: It’s not instant! Unfortunately it won’t end right away.

So give yourself time to go though the motions and emotions. Allow yourself to be sad and upset, anger often follows but soon after comes strength.

That is when to use the energy, as the anger passes over to clarity.

Now is the time to take a breath and plan your next step.

Just give it time, it will come but make sure you grab the moment with both hands when it does!
