Wow! Snow conditions certainly brings out the character in people. Any change in routine, inconvenience, extreme conditions, etc. can provoke the best or worst in people. Coping skills are critical during challenging times.
As I always say to clients...It is not what happens, it is how we react that determines how we feel!
First question is..can you change or or not? (not the snow)
Second: How do you want to feel about the situation?
It is snow!..so the first choice is that people can be negative or positive.
It is temporary.
Plan, shovel, write letter or emails about what you think can be done better, run for office or apply for a city job so YOU can do better, learn more about why things do not seem to be done to your satisfaction, be patient, be understanding, suck it up, ....
People can choose to see the beauty, welcome the challenge, be creative, learn something, enjoy the time that they must give up control temporarily, do the things in the home that they usually do not have time to do, have fun, build a snowman, there are sooo many opportunities anticipate and plan for spring and just get excited about experiencing all the seasons!
