Some of these tips may be common sense, but even if they are, hearing/reading them from an outside source can help. Again, you should read the actual article for explanations, but here is a summary of the list:
- Identify your emotions. When you think about what you're feeling and give it a label you can act accordingly instead of reacting impulsively.
- Keep going to social activities. Negative emotions tend to amplify in isolation.
- Try to think positively. This may be hard to believe, but studies show that positive thinkers actually have a more accurate view of the obstacles in their life, while too many negative thoughts can give you tunnel vision.
- Stay open to different career paths. You'll find more opportunities if you're willing to change from a banker to a nurse (for example) than if you always try to stick to one career.
- Take advantage of your free time. This may sound a bit callous, but losing your job DOES give you more free time. Since you're not on the job from 9 to 5 anymore, you might as well take advantage of your free time by doing any hobbies that make you happy or by developing any of your lesser-used skills.
Anyway, these are just some tips to keep in mind. Just remember that getting back on your feet may be difficult, but it doesn't have to be impossible!
I think being unemployed is just stupid now. The world gives us great opportunities to earn money remotely. I had an office job but that ended when the first lockdown came. I might just be on welfare but I decided to learn how to work properly on a crypto exchange.. I had some litecoin that I got through mining. I changed it to bitcoin when it cost 4k. Then I started using bitcoin robot for each of my transactions. And it gave the most amazing result. Now I can fully support myself in such a business.
