Put off big decisions
You may feel like a new person, but it's not the time to make major changes—even ones that you think will make you happier.
“Both good and bad ‘big decisions’ are stressful," says Susan L. Marusak, MD, research physician and clinical faculty at the Mood Disorder Research Program at UCLA Medical Center and a private practitioner, in Santa Monica, Calif. "I often advise patients to wait, if they can, until they are feeling stable and euthymic before making a major life-changing decision.”
Irwin recommends putting off big decisions until you're at least a six on a happiness scale of one to ten (where zero is misery and ten is elation).
