With the unemployment rates at an all time high and more layoffs and closings than ever, I want to assist you with a few helpful suggestions:
If you are among the people who are unemployed keep your basic routine the same. Get up brush your teeth, etc. eat your breakfast and then route your day, as you see necessary.
I would suggest, however, to take this time to look inside and find out what you want in life and do it. Now, you may not see this time as an opportunity, but many of you who have wondered about the career you never had that you have always secretly wanted - now is the time to pursue it. Get a grant, scholarship or financial aid from a college. Consider your life experience and have them amount to life credits towards your goal.
Family support is so crucial, so don't overlook the people closest to you while you are in transition. Give the love to your wife, children (go out and make a snowman) or get together with friends and allow them all to give back to you.
Get out among people and socialize. The person that you sit next to may start up a conversation with you may be a lead or be your next boss. Other social contacts may lead you through the next door towards the path you want to be on.
Most important get the right amount of sleep and eat healthy nutritious food to keep your body fit and your mind alert.
And don't forget to give yourself the kindness, compassion, love and forgiveness while you go through this challenging time.
