"I can't go on, I'll go on..."  --Samuel Beckett

How in the world do you manage through tough times of crisis, despair, anxiety and loss?  In this episode, I encourage you to keep your head down.  Keeping your head down is a way through when worlds seem to be crashing in upon you.  It's one-foot-in-front-of-the-other work and involves doing what is right in front of you and involves praying in whatever form that is for you.   

This "keep your head down" strategy is the first of many ways to keep yourself moving through tough times.  Next week, I'll talk about finding stillness in the midst of the storm.
