Believe in yourself and create a "Better You."

Friends, as part of my coaching activities, I have spoken with many folks over the past few weeks who unfortunately lost their jobs due to various reasons and while some were very positive to accept and move on, some still were stuck in "why me", "I was such a loved employee" & "my life is doomed" kind of thought process. After listening to them, I decided to pen down my perspective and if this helps even one person to move on in their life, then I am sure this would be worth the effort.

First of all, this change could be genuinely very hard to accept from all dimensions, so full sympathy to all those (and best wishes for landing in new job soon) but let us also appreciate that this is not a "Game over, Life over" situation. This is a signal that one chapter of your life is over and it is time for you to get into a new better & more exciting chapter in your life. It is a "comma" and DEFINITELY "NOT a full stop". Yes, in the short term, our lifestyle, liabilities, EMIs, commitments may make us nervous about paying those bills but stay assured, as long as you continue to take inspired actions to move forward in your life, Divine has everything designed and figured out for you.?

If you are the one who is - cribbing about the situation, cursing your org and hysterically calling your friends, previous bosses for next job then trust me this is not a great usage of what otherwise could be a very productive period to "create a new Better You". This cribbing is not going to get you (re)hired so why waste time in looking back while tons of potential opportunities are in front for you to tap into.

There are various things you can do to make the best out of this period that you would be proud of when this gets over.?

1. First and foremost - Keep yourself calm and patient because great things happen when you are at peace & harmony with yourself. Accept the reality to move forward in life.
2. Divine Powers always want to give you the best and want you to become a better version of yourself for bigger and better phases of your life. ?
3. Either do it alone or take the help of a coach, friend or a family member to do an introspection and try to understand what message Supreme Divine Powers are trying to convey to you. Do it consciously and sincerely. You will get responses to your questions.
4. Make a good time table for the whole day which has good slots for your physical and spiritual wellbeing apart from learning new things, connecting with people, searching for the job.
5. Create slots to pursue sports, gym, and other physical activities that you always wanted to pursue (or be regular at) but could not find sufficient time.
6. Set some time aside during the day to search and apply for job postings but avoid wasting whole day in just searching for positions.??
7. This is the golden opportunity to develop new habits, set some time aside to read something new, upskill yourself in the area that you always wanted to. Who knows your next big break might come in that area itself.?
8. If you ever felt guilty of not been able to spend quality time with family due to work timings / responsibilities, take this as God gifted opportunity to fix some of it as much as you can.

What you should NOT do -

1. Crib and Curse - Don't waste your precious energies in these meaningless and unproductive talks.
2. Lose faith in your abilities and experience. This is who you are so hold on to your strengths.
3. Live in the past and allow your mind to wander in negative mindset.?
4. Give up at rejections as perseverance?and persistence are the real virtues of successful people.

Friends, at the end of the day, when you go to bed, spend few minutes analyzing your whole day and if you feel, you are better off today than what you were yesterday then pat on your back and feel proud of yourself...continue pursuing this....

No situation is permanent in this world, after a dark night, bright day has to come. Bad days will not last...Brighter Sun will come out again next day with newer hopes and as long as you have the honesty to learn from your current situation, have the passion to learn something new and have hunger to fight back, nothing is over.

Stay blessed, Stay positive, Stay motivated....Keep trusting that everything happens for a great reason and a wonderfully beautiful life is waiting for a "Better You".?
