Unemployment Blues: Talk To Yourself
There is always a debate about whether daily affirmations work -
the kind of uplifting statements you repeat to yourself in the
mirror each morning.
I find a more effective way to improve your mood and self-esteem
is to create your own positive scripts for regular re-reading
and study. On those days when you're really down on yourself and
think that you're a failure, immersing yourself in a book
crammed with notes about your qualities and accomplishments can
restore your balance, brighten your spirits, and re-energize you
for the rigors of the job hunt.
Keep a notebook close by and jot down every little success
you've ever had. List your personal characteristics, work and
non-work successes, little things you've done that made you feel
proud. Record what other people have said to you as compliments
or in gratitude. Note any awards or trophies you've ever won.
Describe your accomplishments, big and small: completing a
difficult class, learning how to bowl or play a decent round of
golf, teaching your teenager how to drive a
stick shift, losing
that last 10 pounds. No one reaches adulthood without a long
string of successes along the way but we tend to discount them
because our emotions are engaged by our failures, the "ones who
got away."
Keep adding to your book of positives as you think of more and
more accomplishments (the list will grow, the more you think
about it). On the days when you think your value to the world is
zero, take out your book to remind yourself of your own worth.
The world is a better place due to all of our collective efforts
so give yourself an emotional pat on the back.
