Some days it's hard just to get out of bed. The fact that you even took the time to look at anything online is a good sign and an even better start. Hopefully in these posts you can find some Motivation. Now, before you get excited, they aren't traditional in any sense. But worse case scenario you'll leave with a smile on your face. And right now I'm sure you could use one. I truly hope you enjoy.
Mine Rescue Comes
Keep a sense of normalcy. Set your alarm and wake at the regular time (or a new slightly delayed 'regular' time, it’s your right),
shower and dress and start doing something. Keep a schedule. Have set
meal and sleep times and keep writing ‘to do’ lists. If nothing else,
write the list of things you need to do. This does wonders to help you
feel you’re doing something during this time when you seemingly have
nothing to do. It doesn’t have to be rocket science, it can be ‘water
plants’, ‘watch Passport 246’
or ‘call Mum’, but when you cross it off your list, it’s a minor
victory. All the little wins make for a very productive week. And a good
week makes for a happier you.
How to Budget When Broke
The
emotional state of the unemployed mind is the equivalent of Bill
O’Reilly uncensored: highly petulant, often illogical and forever
frustrating to the world at large. The one constant concern in that ever
shifting brain, is money. Where will it come from, will it be enough
and how soon can you get it?
Because while you stopped
working, the creditors didn’t and apparently neither did the mailman.
The bills keep flowing in from an open tap while the cash lies
cremating in an expansive desert. And although the often insensitive
people at the phone company may disagree, you still have to eat somehow.
Seeking Silver Linings
Unemployment is lonely. It’s something you have to endure alone. While others will help in every and any way they can (when you let them),
you alone bear the burden. Being laid off with a group of former
colleagues won’t make it any less lonely either, because although the
next person may understand what not working is like, your financial,
spiritual and emotional situation is unique and efforts to help may only
further isolate you.
