Constant change … drama … stress … Have the demands of military life become overwhelming? You may feel powerless right now, but every challenge and sacrifice you rise above helps you grow into the person you want to be!
Are you ready to be happy in military life?
Using this practical and motivating personal guide, written by motivational speaker and military spouse Judy Davis, you will:
Define your role as a military spouse and tweak your expectations of military life.
Identify situations that cause you stress
and create strategies to calm chaos, deal with drama, and respond to change.
Find ways to cut the yuck from your life, make yourself a priority, and fully embrace military life.
A guide at the back of the book to create your own personalized "Right Side Up Plan" with the tips and techniques from each chapter that you find most helpful for your life.
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to living a happier life—military or otherwise—but the exercises in this book will help you create your best plan based on your needs, your personality, and your insights. Move through the emotional side of military life with strength and joy—and land right side up!
You’ve heard the saying that “If it’s not
fun, you’re not doing it right”, and in no
other place than the military community
is this statement more accurate. Being
a military spouse is stressful, unnerving and always changing, and the best skill
you can learn is to find the humor in all
the chaos. Being able to look at each
challenge and find the silver lining isn’t
always easy, but it’s necessary to be
able to thrive. And if you can’t find your
silver lining, go out and have some fun!
See a movie, go out with friends, call a
former battle buddy and laugh! You will
be better for it.
A little side note:
No matter how hard we try to avoid it, the military life sometimes presents challenges that we can’t handle ourselves.
Things like PTSD, TBI and Depression are among some of the toughest, and I just want to let you know that thankfully we are surrounded by resources that offer support both emotionally and financially. Here are 2 Resource lists that will get you started:
