Develop A Personal Stress Management Plan |
| |
Be sure to include these items: |
| |
|
| |
- Recognize stressors surrounding your job search and personal life.
- Try to identify some of the feelings you experience and different ways in which you might best adjust.
|
| |
 |
- Develop a job search plan.
- Commit to your plan.
- Review the results weekly, and make needed adjustments.
- Don’t take minor rejections too seriously.
- Much of the stress you may experience as a result of having lost your job will diminish as your plan comes together. You will feel a sense of relief and gradually begin to gain back the control over your life that you feel was lost.
|
|
| |
- Structure your time and practice time management.
- Begin your day by ordering your priorities.
- Plan the most efficient way of completing a task.
- Focus your total concentration on the task at hand.
- Do not allow other people to waste your time.
|

- Initiate/maintain an exercise and nutrition regimen.
- Engage yourself in fun activities and exercise your mind and body.
- Follow a healthy food plan.
- Avoid alcohol and drugs.
|
 |
- Maintain your religious beliefs, social/family customs and daily routines.
|
- Learn and use relaxation techniques.
|
- Develop and maintain support systems.
- Surround yourself with positive people.
- Help others.
- Consider career counseling.
- Join a support group.
|
- Establish a life plan and career goals.
|
|
| |
- Schedule time for yourself.
- Your job search is not personal time; it is your current job.
|
| |
 |
- Include daily humor and laughter in your life.
|
