Positive Changes While on the Unemployed Journey

“Every small positive change
we make in ourselves
repays us in confidence
in the future.”
Alice Walker

Reading this quote you might think to yourself, “Why do I constantly have to make small positive changes while on the unemployed journey instead of just coast through life.”

If anyone comes up with the answer please let us all know and we will jump on board.

We are constantly making changes in our life as opportunities appear. Two years ago, did you think you would be unemployed and looking for a new job? I know this opportunity was not a welcomed gift.

Let’s turn things around and brainstorm for a few minutes what positive outcomes have been created.

• No longer in a job that was not fulfilling. Working in a particular job for years sometimes your creative juices stop flowing and things become mundane.
• Future opportunity to learn new skills. A new position will include different skills which will ensure you are learning and creative again.
• Builds relationships. During the unemployment journey you learned who is supportive, met new friends and associates.
• Provided a foundation for growth. You are becoming a strong person who is making decisions and trying new techniques during this difficult period. Someday you will look back and wonder how you have made it through this time in your life.

We could go on and on listing the positive outcomes we will experience or have experienced. The most important thing to remember is that you are creating positive changes in your life which will repay you with self-confidence.

Now it is your turn to share with the Love Yourself – It Matters Community what positive changes you made that impacted your life.

Until Tomorrow
