Overcoming Career Fears



Are you going to work everyday wondering if you will have a job or not? Is your financial portfolio disappearing? What about retirement - do you see it in your near future? These are all major concerns of most people throughout the world, and the daily outpouring of television news broadcasts regarding how bad the economy is doesn't make it any better.

There are a lot of problems in the world today that are out of your control right now. You must make a decision on what you can do if things really fall apart with your career. No matter what's going on in the news, there are plenty of jobs out there - you just have to know what resources to use in order to find that next position. I'm personally receiving calls from employers asking for help in finding the right candidates for certain jobs, so this is really true.

It's important to remember to be positive in these negative times, even if for some reason you find out it's time to find another job. Start building your plan today so you won't be caught off guard. You have to figure out how to ride this out until it gets a lot better. And it will get better eventually, because that's the Law of the Universe. The universe runs in cycles and history continues to repeat itself. The world is also going through a global shift along with this year being an election year. So just know that we are all going through global changes.

Here are a few suggestions to keep yourself motivated and in a happier mood:

1) Develop a plan A and B for your career, just in case you are laid off. How will you find another job? What skills do you have that are transferable into other fields, careers, or industries? What industries are doing the most hiring right now? Who is in your network and how do can you get some informational interviews with decision-makers? How can you build more relationships with certain people in different fields? Think about these questions and write out your plan.

2) Reduce the amount of hours you watch the news on television. Remember television is a business, and executives are out to make money. I haven't watched the news in months, and I still know what's going on.

3) Take more walks along the ocean. Did you know that when you are close to the water, negative toxins are being pulled out of the body and you immediately start to feel better?

4) Look in your personal library and read positive books. Listen to positive tapes or CDs going to and from work. I now have an ipod and I just love it. I can listen to music, books, and seminars.

5) Play your favorite music that makes you feel good. My favorite song and the one I danced to a lot when I was younger is "Ain't No Stopping Me Now" by McFadden and Whitehead. Remember that? I listen to it a lot; it makes me happy and feels empowered.

6) Every night or early morning, write at least 5 things you are grateful for. Do this everyday, and you'll be surprised how much better you will feel.

7) Exercise. Walking, yoga, aerobics or whatever you enjoy doing - at least 4 times per week is ideal.

8) Take one day at a time. Live in the NOW. A good book to read is The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle.

Most of all remember, FEAR is an illusion. It is not real and only on the surface. Fear means: F = False E Evidence A = Appearing R = Real If you remember the real meaning of fear, you will feel like you can conquer anything.
