Unemployment Tips and Encouragement

  • Rating: No Rating
There is no need to reiterate the horrible situation with our country’s economy and the trickle down effect it is having on so many lives. There are way too many of us unemployed and searching for employment religiously. We are surfing the internet highway daily, minute by minute, pounding the cold hard pavement, digging as deep as we can and networking our butts off just to find employment! Just to stay afloat, to find a job that will pay our bills and make ends meat.

However, there is light at the end of the tunnel! We can survive and get through this tough situation we are currently in, at no fault of our own-I might add, we can, we must and we WILL!! I don’t know about you, but failure is not an option! We have people counting on us and looking to us for assurance, guidance and direction. Therefore we tried to write an article that was going to be encouraging, motivating and uplifting. Something that will get you to thinking and seeing things in a whole different light, something that hopefully will help you keep your sanity in a tough time and to let you know there are many of us in that same exact situation and we feel your pain!

Here’s what you have to incorporate in your daily routine and make a conscience effort to practice daily and continually:
 Reach down in your spirit and grab that motivation, gut and drive (you know it’s in there) stand tall, keep your head up, be strong and have that never wavering confidence!
 Train your mind to reflect gracious, thankful, peaceful, happy, contentment, loving and genuinely kind thoughts. You are a reflection of your most inner thoughts, remember that!
 Convey that positive friction and attitude of those awesome feelings, excited actions, pleasant thoughts and battles won “out there”! Speak those positive feelings and actions out loud and put it out in the world.
 Go help someone that needs help, serve and assist someone else that could possibly be in a worse situation than you are in, volunteer at your Church or your favorite charity. You will be amazed at how satisfying and empowering this can be, plus it will help you to refocus and get your mind off and onto something else. This little exercise is very enlightening and will probably show you that it’s not as bad as you think it is and you’ll recognize that it’s easier to help someone than you thought it was.
 Face the situation at hand with a victory mind set. Refuse to be defeated, pump yourself up!
 Be diligent and devoted to yourself and the core values you have. Stand up for what you believe in consistently.
 Don’t subject or allow yourself to be defeated, depressed, and lethargic or to give up! Surround yourself with positive, happy, outgoing and confident individuals. Have a new zest for life and know that you will get through this that “this too shall pass”!

Love who you are, know you are on this earth for a reason! Remember that everything and I do mean everything happens for a reason. Although you may not see this right at this moment, however, you can do this, you will survive and you will benefit from it in some way. Stay strong; go forward with diligence and passion and a whole new attitude that will make things so much easier for you and the situation you are in.

Make it a beautiful day!

Hey Julie,
Thanks for the comment on my blog, that is great and I have really enjoyed it. Most of the time I blog I try to do something for my business of course, but the other side of my comes out and I have a true desire to help others in any sort of situation I can.

I too am currently laid off from my full time job as a Senior Technical Recruiter, working from home and it has really impacted my finances to say the least, however, it has allowed me time to focus on my business and to do some things I was not able to do before. I know there is a reason for that and I really feel I am just being prepared for what's to come! Which is good news.

I too used to work as a Legal Secretary (many years ago) doing conveyancing too. Wow, funny how you run into others with similar backgrounds. I am glad you do still have a full time job, of course if that is what you need and/or want, so hang in there with the changes that have been made.

I'm so glad it helped and yes, keep your positive attitude and remember, maybe you are being prepared for something bigger and better? You just never know dear. It does my heart good to know that I was able to assist you somewhat and thanks so much dear for sharing. Hang in there and "this too shall pass!"

Deb :)

Thanks Deb - I really needed to hear/read those words of encouragement! I am one of the "lucky" ones who has a "day" job and is working her VA business "out of hours". Things are very unsettled where I work at present as a legal secretary in the property/conveyancing sector because of the state of the economy etc. Added to that the staff have been moved around and I no long work for the boss with whom I was with for 18 months and now am having to get used to working in a totally different way with different bosses and I'm also working in reception which is a completely different environment from my previous quiet desk. I thought I was quite a flexible person but this move about has just left me knocked for six! I was very happy, contented and settled in my job, I now feel the complete opposite! I know I need to get my "positive mental attitude" back on track - your blog has helped me reiterate this. I will remember that "this too shall pass" and I will get used to these new working conditions. Thanks for the words of encouragement I am going to do my very best to live by them and make them my own!!
