If you’re like most of the people I’ve worked with, you’ll find that there are many things you can control in your situation. Just knowing that improves the outlook for most people.

Once you know what you can do something about, you can start taking positive actions to improve things. This isn’t magic or “positive thinking.”

It’s just meat and potatoes human psychology.

If you take small steps that move you in the right direction, two things happen. You make real progress, so your situation does improve, even if only slightly. And you feel better because you’re making progress.

Once we’ve got an idea of what you control, we can look at a combination of two basic strategies for anyone stuck in a Desert Island Job. You need to sustain yourself on the island for as long as you’re there, by planting a garden. Or you may need to make plans to build a raft and escape.
