In reply to Teresa Salhi. We don't need to show our mind anything, Teresa, but to take responsibility for ourselves and keep ourselves motivated to try new things and look out for ways to create new opportunities. Thanks for dropping by and contributing to the conversation. :)

Unemployment can be quite stressful for many and your tips and expertise will bring a new light on how to handle the situation. It is true the mind can play tricks on us. It bring up feelings of fear because it has a job of keeping us safe and that means to avoid change…..it is not true of course we need to show ourselves and our mind that we can learn new ways and in fact it is the opportunity of change that benefits us the most.

In reply to Roslyn Tanner Evans. That is such an important point, Roslyn, that we need to take ownership of our skills and training instead of talking about it in the past just because we have lost a job. When we keeping talking of having been, then the dis-empowering thought gets embedded in our sub-conscious mind making it even more difficult to move forward in positive motion. Thank you for sharing your experience and insights.

When I counselled professionals upon job loss I often heard them say, I was an accountant. I soon realized that too many people didn’t own their skills & training & it was connected to what they did. I was able to counsel that they lost their job, but not who they were and they wer still an Accountant, Treasurer, Exec, etc. It took time to sync in but once they got it, the search & loss of status etc lighted. You presented great tips I could have used then &b can use today in other situations.

In reply to Sue Kearney (@MagnoliasWest). The tips do work for other kinds of stress Gremlins too, Sue, although their true power is in helping long term unemployed professionals. :)

In reply to Marquita Herald. Thanks Marquita. The concept of 1 job for life and getting a gold watch on retirement seems to have become a rare occurrence in today's day and age. My Dad was in service for 36 years but he did observe that the Labor Laws in India and insurance needed an overhaul as they only covered blue collar workers and not professionals. The ability to handle the array of emotions and feelings we undergo is an asset for self-preservation.

In ways, I think that you could lift “unemployment” out of the topic and easily apply most of your advice to any kind of stress. Don’t you think?

This is such an important topic! My dad had worked for the same employer over 45 years when he retired. Not many people can relate to that these days. The older one gets the more stressful changing jobs can be, even when it’s your idea, so understanding how to manage those feelings and emotions can make a huge difference! Thanks for the advice and inspiration. 🙂
