Today I’m giving myself a break. Constantly searching for a job can be taxing on your mind and body. Hearing, “Sorry, were not hiring.” or “Unfortunately, we have a hiring freeze” can throw you off into a state of depression. You may begin to think you aren’t good enough. Or maybe you should take any job and give up on what you love.  By all means, don’t give up on your passion. Stay on course and when things don’t seem to go your way, coast a little. It isn’t like you are sitting a home doing nothing. Searching for a 9-5 is tough work in this economy. So what I would like you to do is join me and take a few days to relax and regroup. 

For two days I’m going to give myself to myself.  Maybe I’ll work out, visit my son at school, meet a friend for coffee or watch TV all day. Nothing work related or search related. I’m going to tend to myself. Then by day three, I’ll be ready to relaunch my search. Right now I’m coasting.
