Keep it. Many seniors who could retire are staying at their job in the States. They have given their life-long dreams to retire because of the drastic loss of retirement funds and the uncertainty the future holds. Many have decided to keep their secure job – and steady paycheck - as long as it lasts.

Many who have lost their job and who are desperately seeking for new opportunities are facing an even tougher market because of this situation. Many Americans 62 and older are staying healthier and active at their well-valued job whereas the newer generations may be struggling to get a position.

What can you do?

1.    If you are 62 and older and you have a job, you are using the right strategy as you keep your benefits and steady income. In addition, health coverage, regular activity and a healthy lifestyle will keep you active and positive along the way.

2.    Create savings opportunities: many in their sixties were unable to retire because of massive loss of money in the Stock. Save money and think wisely when investing at a low risk, if you desire to use this money when you retire.

3.    If you are younger and out of a job, consider part-time job options and continued education. Prepare yourself by becoming more competitive. This will be a great way of spending your time, energy and money.

4.    Keep a positive outlook: whether you are young or ready to retire, keep a positive attitude toward the future: the more positive the better you will transition into a job (if you are new to the workforce) or into your next life phase.

5.    Stay healthy: above all, continue to take good care of yourself. Use The Four Pillars of Health as your core toward a healthy and fulfilling life experience.

Most of us try our best to row the rough waters till the crisis subsides. Most executives and entrepreneurs who were already stretched are now finding strength within to produce at their maximum capacity. At the same time, their families are not immune to the stress. Even children know of their friends’ parents losing their job or struggling to keep their teenager in college. How can you handle your own business needs as well as your stress and your family’s?

We are constantly worrying these days. Counting the domino effect of the state of our economy, the increasing financial instability, natural catastrophes, and the back-to-school craze, stress in the workplace has reached epidemic numbers. People worry about losing their homes or paying for their groceries, they are concerned about giving their kids the education they didn’t have, but they also fear whether their business is still afloat or if they still have a job. Corporate warriors and business owners are equally stressed because they face increasing competition and the unpredictability of our overall financial situation.

Much has been written about the similarities and differences between being a coach and a therapist.
