Career Advice That Is Relevant to Healing as Well

appreciationPinIn my quest to try every new piece of social media tech that exists (that might be a bit of hyperbole, but not by much!) I’ve penned a piece with some career advice, titled “The Appreciation File,” over on LinkedIn.

It did not escape my notice, however, that this same bit of helpful advice could also apply to healing from abuse, or helping with depression, or whatever else you might be struggling with.

So, fellow survivors, start collecting cards, notes, and emails that thank you for something. Then on the rough days, go back through the stack and remind yourself of all the good you have done, and continue to do, all the worth you have, and all the value you bring to others. Also, make sure you’re letting people know the value they have, so they can start building their file!

If you’re so inclined, I’d appreciate it if you went over to LinkedIn and shared the plan with your own contacts! Thanks!

  1. Great advice! I have recently started doing this. I keep a list of the women I help through my book, Facebook and my website. Sometimes I feel as if I am making no difference in the world. Doing this helps.
