Career
 Part of having a successful life is having a
successful work
experience. This is true whether you work inside or outside the home or if you
have a traditional salaried work or if you do volunteer work. The hardest part
is figuring out what you want to do and how you can find an outlet that will
allow you to do it.
Arthritis can bring additional challenges to your job
search. You may require special accommodations to perform your job. Insurance
issues may be more of a concern for you. You might need to work reduced hours.
And then there is the issue of if, when and how you should tell your boss or
your co-workers about your condition.
Don’t let your arthritis keep you from having the career you
want. People with arthritis do everything people without arthritis do. It is
how they do it that differs. Learn what you can do, where to find help and how
to handle your illness.
Focus your daily 10-minute meditation on your career. What do you
enjoy doing? What are you physically capable of doing? What hours or days do
you feel the best?
Make a list of potential careers based on your interests and
abilities and start down the road to a successful and satisfying career. Don’t
forget to come to the Arthritis Foundation for help.
