Survival is a given, when you think about it. Here is what works for me.

Three Easy Steps:

1. First things first:

   Apply for unemployment benefits and find creative ways to obtain cash.

2. Take care of yourself physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Do everything every old person ever told you to do. Eat lots of fruits and veggies, beans, whole grains and not so much salt, sugar, and fat. Exercise daily. Get fresh air and sunshine. "Early to bed and early to rise..." Stay busy. Maintain your social relationships to whatever extent possible. Be kind to your family and to every stranger you meet. Get in touch with God or whatever you want to call the animating force of the universe in whatever way works for you. If you don't believe the universe has an animating force -- that it just is -- then go with that. Anyway, it's a three-pronged deal -- body, mind, spirit. Neglect one and you might as well neglect them all. That's what I've found, anyway.
3. Never give up. Life changes. It changed to get you where you are. It will change to take you somewhere else. Do whatever you can to move yourself toward the "somewhere else" of your choosing. When life gives you shit, make fertilizer. Never lose faith. Never stop hustling. Survive.

That's it. Focus. Move forward. Don't pray for a job. Don't pray for money. If you're going to pray, pray that you have the right attitude, that you will be present in each moment and do the best thing in each moment.

Gotta go. Much to do.

Good luck!
