Keeping Yourself On Track While Looking for a Job

“The world is but canvas
to our imagination.”
Henry David Thoreau

Keeping yourself on track while looking for a job is the secret for succeeding.

Most people like structure in their lives. While working we had structure, getting up at a certain time, rushing around and leaving at the same moment each day. We are creatures of habit.

Now times have changed. We can look at this period as a time of hardship or wonder and excitement.

Hold on I have not lost my mind!

I know sometimes it is hard to motivate yourself each day. Let’s try something new and just for a second think this could be an exciting time. It will bring a smile to your face and you will have a new perspective.

As Henry David Thoreau said, “The world is but canvas to our imagination” you have the chance to think and create whatever you want.

Here are some simple steps we can take to start thinking in this new positive way:

• Follow the same routine each day. Putting structure in our lives gives us a sense of security.
• Create a list of jobs that would light your fire. Thinking about these different possibilities creates an energy that is exciting.
• Take time each day to relax. Taking time for ourselves reminds us that we are important.

Now It Is Your Turn!

Try the little experiment above and let the Love Yourself – It Matters Community know what happens.

We are all in this together and the best part is you are not alone. Giving yourself the opportunity to receive support is the greatest gift you can give yourself.
