Regarding Resilience: Tips, tools and techniques for practicing

resilience everyday!

By Jenn Eichner, MRT 772-2848

Hello, hope

this new

month finds

you posi-

tively think-

ing! Did

any of you

find yourself in a Thinking Trap?

Did you have a moment when you

had to ask yourself some of the

critical questions to re-adjust your

thinking? If you were able to

re-adjust, that is such a positive thing

– but what if asking the critical

questions could not get your

thoughts back on track? What then?

When you find your emotions

and/or reactions out of line over an

Activating Event and you cannot

identify a Thinking Trap, you may

have to dig a little deeper. Consider

yourself with an internal radio, if you

will. Surface thoughts are fairly easily

tuned in, but your Iceberg Beliefs are

those channels that take time and

careful attention to tune in to.

Iceberg Beliefs are your deeply held

beliefs and core values that can fuel

out-of-proportion emotion to an

event that challenges your beliefs.

An example of an Iceberg Belief

might be that you feel people should

start what they finish. Or that your

personal space should always be re-

spected. What are your Iceberg Beliefs?

You will find that you may have to take

some time to think. So, let’s do it.

Take three minutes and write down your

Iceberg Beliefs. The result may surprise

you and if nothing else – the mental ex-

ercise will get you thinking!

I asked Mandy Thompson, ACS Em-

ployment Readiness Program Manager

to share one of her Iceberg Beliefs. She

told me, “Hard work pays off”. Mobi-

lization and Deployment Specialist,

Amanda Garcia, shared one with me as

well, “All adults should clean up after

themselves”.

Often, negative thinking comes when

someone else does not share your par-

ticular beliefs. Imagine if Amanda had

to share an office with a co-worker that

did not share her Iceberg Belief. Is

there someone in your life who you have

an on- going dispute with ? Could it be

over an unshared Iceberg Belief?

How do you identify an Iceberg Belief in

times when your reactions surprise or

confuse you? It’s not as hard as you

may think. Use “What” not “Why”

questions – “why” questions lead to de-

fensiveness. Ask the questions below, in

any order.

What is the most upsetting part of

Iceberg Beliefs- Fuel For Emotions

Upcoming Master Resilience Classes Date Training Plan Location/Time

6-9 February MRT Marathon-All modules covered ACS, 9:30-2:30 pm

that for me?

What does that mean to me?

What is the worst part of that for

me?

Assuming that is true, what about

that is so upsetting to me?

Once you have identified your belief,

ask yourself the following.

Is this Iceberg helping or harming

me in this situation?

Is this Iceberg something I still

believe/value?

Is this Iceberg accurate in this

situation?

Based on your answers, you may then

be able to readjust your counter-

productive thinking into positive

thoughts! You may find it easier to

agree to disagree or you might just be

more able to see someone else’s point

of view.

Good luck and good thoughts!

“If you don't change your

beliefs, your life will be like this

forever. Is that good news?”

-Dr. Robert Anthony Author


ACS Friends and Neighbors-Promoting Community

“We cannot live only for

ourselves. A thousand

fibers connect us with

our fellow men.”

~Herman Melville

Recently the Staff at Army

Community Service (ACS) had the

pleasure of meeting Janeen

Michalak and her two year old

daughter Paige when they stopped

in to find out what ACS has to

offer new comers to Fort Drum.

She and her husband recently

PCSd to Fort Drum with their

three daughters, Paige (pictured),

eight year old Shelby and five year

old Skylar.

Janeen’s husband Peter is a 2LT

with 1-10 AVN. The Michalak

family, originally from Belleville,

IL, arrived here December 28th

on orders from Fort Leonard

Wood, Mo.

Although Janeen is new to the

Army, she is already a wealth of

knowledge and resources. She has

already been networking and plans

on attending AFTB classes to

become an instructor for ACS.

I asked Janeen what else she plans

on doing and she expressed a de-

sire to teach bible study classes on

post. While at Fort Leonard

Wood, she taught for Protestant

Women of the Church (PWOC).

Janeen’s enthusiasm for being

here and being an Army Wife is

immediately apparent. When I

pointed it out she replied “I have

found that while separation is dif-

ficult, it also allows a married cou-

ple to grow.” Janeen explained

that she had strong Military Wives

as friends, that gave her great ad-

vice. She reminisced about when

her husband was away at boot

camp. She explained that they

could only communicate via mail.

“Snail mail” as it is sometimes

called, can create a communica-

tion gap and therefore problems.

Her friends advised her to always

keep mail positive. They pointed

out that if her Soldier was having

a bad day when he wrote the let-

ter, it was probably over with

when she received it. They ad-

vised her on the importance of

remembering the Soldiers have

bad days sometimes, and that they

need to hear about the positive

things from home.

While Janeen and her Family are

waiting for housing, they are ex-

ploring the treasures of the North

Country. They have already been

site seeing and cannot wait to ski!

ACS would like to welcome the

Michalak family to Fort Drum.

We are looking forward to Janeen

becoming and AFTB Volunteer.

If you would like to be an AFTB Volunteer,

or Allison Hill AFTB Volunteer Coordinator at

Moving is a part of Army

life. Moving your home

and family is never

easy, but preparation

can go a long way toward easing the

transition. Below are tips to help you as

you prepare to move on to your next

adventure!

1. Visit your Relocation Program at

ACS! They can offer individualized

guidance and support. They also

have a free Lending Closet of basic

household items.

2. Visit

www.militaryinstallations.dod.mil.

This website can tell you everything

you need to know about your new

installation.

3. Create a budget. Take a hard look at

what the move will cost and what the

government will pay for. Consider

using the services of the ACS Finan-

cial Readiness Program.

Smooth Moves by Relocation Readiness paperwork that you will need to take

with you.

9. Hand-carry important documents.

Organize family records in a travel

records kit. It is a good a good idea

to hand-carry and keep in your

possession any documents with your

name, social security number and

birth date. This is all an identity

thief needs to steal your identity.

10.Research BAH and housing at your

new installation. It is critical to

know what your allowance will be to

make wise housing choices.

Let us help you make your next move a

smooth one! For assistance please call,

(315) 772-6556.

4. Track expenses. Know where your

money is going and what you are

purchasing. Consider using only one

specific credit card so you can easily

monitor for your moving expenses.

5. Get a sponsor. Sponsors help units

welcome and prepare Soldiers and

Families for their new duty station in

advance of the actual arrival.

6. Inventory and evaluate your personal

property. There may be items you no

longer want or need. Read your

renters or homeowners insurance

policy to make sure you have coverage

for any damage in transit.

7. Research hotels to use in transit. If

you are traveling with pets it is

important to know in advance which

hotels will and won’t take pets. Also,

consider a hotel chain that offers re-

ward points for staying with them.

8. Get organized! Create an accordion

folder or binder for all of your moving

My name is Cam-Ngo-Cheung. I have

been married to my magnificent hus-

band, Harold Cheung, for almost 13

years. We have two wonderful boys

named Jaden and Kody. I am Chinese,

born in Vietnam and raised in Montreal,

Canada. Now I am residing at Fort

Drum, NY.

The first U.S. City I lived in was Fort

Polk, Louisiana. I remember feeling

excited and anxious. I grew up in an

urban city, got married and then moved

to a rural area thousands of miles away

from my family and friends. I didn’t have

anyone except my husband and I was

really lonely and homesick.

It took some time but after many years

living in the U.S. and being an interna-

tional Army Wife, I learned how to make

new friends and adjust to the life as an

Army Wife. I have the following advice

to offer other Spouses in my position:

First, volunteer! It is not easy to find

friends when you don't know the area

or anyone. Volunteering gives you the

opportunity to meet people and it also

provides you with work experience. A

plus for Foreign Spouses is you don’t

have to be a U.S. citizen to volunteer.

While at Fort Polk, I volunteered as a

Dental Assistant for the Red Cross. I

made many friends and learned a lot

about dental assistant work and Army

life from the people I worked with. I

loved my volunteer work and remain

very proud of it!

My second piece of advice is to look for

local community events and classes to

become involved. Spouse groups

such as International Spouses and

Hearts Apart as well as other Army

Community Service (ACS) programs

and hosted events. I became active

with the International Spouse Group

hosted by Relocation Readiness.

Every other month, foreign born

Spouses gather together to eat, talk,

play games, exchange recipes and

learn about one another. I never miss

a meeting because we always have a

fantastic time. Diane, Amy, Krista

and Scarlett are the amazing people

who work at Relocation Readiness

Program. If you need any help with a

move, immigration assistance or

making friends, stop by and see them

at ACS. They are always happy to

help!

Finding Employment through Networking– a Success Story

Networking is one of the most important things job seekers can do to find a position. Recent studies indicate that 65% of people who are employed found a job that was never publicly advertised. In fact, studies have found that less than half of all available jobs are ever advertised. The first step to networking involves creating a contact list to include: Friends, family members and

relatives who are employed Your friends, parents friends,

neighbors and casual acquaint-ances

People with whom you have business relationships with (bankers, insurance agents, etc.

People from professional affilia-tions, alumni associations and clubs you belong to. (If you don't belong to any, join some)

Present and past co-workers Your teachers, professors and

instructors People you know through your

place of worship The second step to networking is to

contact the people on your list to let them know you are looking for a job. Ask them if they know of any opportunities, provide them with your resume and contact information. Remember, you can also network with people you don’t know. Contact companies and ask them if they could use anyone with your skills, and if not, do they know anyone who could. A client of the Employment Readiness program recently shared the following networking success story with us; We would like to offer a big congratulations to Amber Kalford for her recent success in landing employment through networking. When job searching, everywhere you go and everyone you meet is an opportunity to network. Here is Amber’s impressive networking story on how she landed her current job. “I was applying at one place and decided I was going to go get a pair of boots while I was out. So, I walked over to Payless and while I was look-

ing at the shoes I was having a hilarious conversation with this older woman. We eventually got to talking about how my husband was deployed and when she asked me, "Well what are you looking to do with your free time?” I told her I was actually looking for a job. To my surprise, she said "well it turns out I am hiring!” Turns out I was talking to the big boss the whole time! So I went and applied, and as I was waiting on a call back, she made it seem like the job was mine for sure. She told me how impressed she was and that when I returned to Watertown from vacation, to come see her and she would put me on the schedule. If I didn't meet with Employment Readiness (ERP) I wouldn't have been looking for a job at all, but while looking one just fell in my lap! Thanks ERP!”

Don’t Spend the New Year Paying Off Christmas Debt

Holiday overspending is common for

many people. Paying off Christmas

Debt is a dismal consequence for

many people entering the new year. A

survey by Consumer Reports found

that shoppers planned to charge an

average of $756 for Christmas in 2011.

If you are one of the shoppers who

charged Christmas and are paying for

it now, Here are a few tips for

resolving your debt quickly:

Assess your debt: Even if adding up

your debt to find out the grand total

you owe is not a task you are eager to

complete, you need to know how bad

it is before you can fix it. Subtract

from the debt, how much you can

afford to put toward this bill after

paying for essentials, and you can

figure how long it will take to pay off

the debt.

Set your payoff date: By setting a

goal to pay your debt off at a certain

date, you will stay motivated.

Remember your date will depend on

your total debt how much money you

have left after paying for your

necessities.

Find Extra Money: Look at your

budget to determine if there is an area

you can adjust to find extra money to

put toward your debt. For instance,

can you cancel premium cable

channels, downgrade your internet, or

take lunches and dine in? Consider

ways to bring in extra money. Is it

possible to put in overtime? Can you

Pick up a part time job or have a

garage sale?

Use unexpected money: If you

receive a tax return inheritance,

bonus check, or an extra paycheck

in a long month don't be tempted to

blow it, pay off the debt!

Reward yourself when you are

debt free: Keep your eye on the

prize by planning on rewarding

yourself with something you want

when you eliminate the debt.

Remember to spend cash on

whatever it is you will be rewarding

yourself with.

Start out the new year with a new

philosophy: Plan for the upcoming

Christmas by budgeting and

purchasing ahead. Kiplinger puts

out a guide to getting the best deals

on things we buy. For instance, if

you plan on purchasing someone on

your Christmas list a new camera,

you should buy it the January or

February before Christmas because

this is when the Consumer

Electronics Show and Photo Mar-

keting Association showcases the

new year. New models arrive in

stores and deep discounts can be

found on the previous year’s

merchandise.

money by shopping for the best

deals all year long, check go to
