Part III: Work Therapy

This is the last part of the Work Therapy. I hope it would help to make your living well.

26. When you're looking for work, make use of all available resources: friends, agencies, libraries, classified ads, the phone book. Treat the process of looking for a full time job as full time job. It is.

27. You may feel discouraged and anxious when you're unemployed. That's understandable. Find sympathetic ear and share your feelings. Keep moving forward toward your goal. Cultivate patience and perseverance.

28. When you're exploring new job possibilities, identify the skills and accomplishments you've attained over a lifetime of living. For instance, if you've raised a family, you've probably developed considerable abilities that would be valuable to an employer.

29. The loss of job can be an opportunity for learning, growth, change, and new self definition. Take stocks of your gifts and pay attention to what your heart is telling you.

30. Cultivate outside interests so that your life is more than your job. If you've forgotten how to play, spend time with your children-or the child within you.

31. Volunteer work not only blesses those who receive it; its a great source of satisfaction and growth for those who give it. Find a way to lend a hand and make your corner of the world a better place.

32. If you sometimes need to take your home with you, do so intentionally. Other times, you may want to stay late and set boundaries to your workday. If you make conscious decisions about your work, you'll be more energized and focused.

33. Don't work seven days a week. Your body, mind, and spirit need rest and renewal for you to be fully engaged in life. Even God took a day off.

34. When you go on vacation, really go on vacation. Don't drag your work with you, and don't assume "they can't get along" without you. They can. They will. Let them.

35. Fill in the blank: "At the end of my life, i will wish i had spent more time___________." Make this reality now.

If you got something in your head that you think it would make our living well don't hesitate to email me up, or if you got questions feel free to ask me.
