Finding a Job

“What three things do you
want to accomplish this year?
Write them down and place them
on your refrigerator
for inspiration all year long.”

What three things do you want to accomplish this year? Find a job!!

Being unemployed the only thing on your mind is finding a job. Just hold on a second, there are other things in your life which are just as important. How about exercising, eating healthy, spending more time as a family unit, buying that special watch or learning how to draw.

When you were working did you do other things in your life, go to the movies, talk long walks with your partner, enter marathons, etc… Being unemployed you don’t stop living.

So what does a person have to do to restore their faith and think of things they want to accomplish?

As I always say, “Start by taking baby steps and make the process fun instead of a burden.

Some small steps you can take to start the process:
• Write a list of everything you always wanted to accomplish. Examples: take piano lessons, run a marathon, learn quilting, read books on a particular subject, etc…
• Choose one item. Example: take piano lessons.
• Plan what steps you have to take to accomplish your goal. Example: research the name of a good teacher.
• Start by taking one action step a day until you dream is accomplished.

The important thing to keep in mind is always breakdown every plan into little steps. That way you do not feel overwhelmed and with each step accomplished you feel motivated.

Now It Is Your Turn
After completing the exercise above, write down on a fresh piece of paper three goals you would like to accomplish this year. Now put them on the refrigerator door and look at them everyday. Let the Love Yourself – It Matters what is happening.

Remember…the Love Yourself – It Matters community is your support system. Just leave a comment and I will get back to you.

Keep In Touch,
