Today’s coping tip is to get outside and notice how the weather feels.
This was a good tip to see before my trip last week to the UK. I flew over Mon, arriving Tue in London. I tried to get outside a bunch last week in these ways:
I spent a day at the T4 Hilton at LHR to recover from travel. While there, I went for a walk along the road circling the airport. I managed to get a look at an airplane coming in to land. It was a nice, sunny day, about 50F/10C, not too windy, refreshing and brisk.
Walking from the conference center to the hotel is a short outside section for me. Lots of rain in Wales, but I managed to take a few minutes and loop around the building during dryer moments and enjoy the very green open space and cool spring weather.
Not as much outside time as I would have liked, but it was Wales. Lots of rain during the week.
I started to add a daily coping tip to the SQL Server Central newsletter and to the Community Circle, which is helping me deal with the issues in the world. I’m adding my responses for each day here. All my coping tips are under this tag.
