How Using Affirmations Can Help You in the Job Hunting Process...

 Affirmations can help strengthen your mindset at a stressful time - when job hunting.

You are working towards changing who you are, your work environment, work colleagues and income.

Changing job is one of the top 10 stressful situations in life, along with having a partner or family member die, the birth of a child or buying and selling a house. 

Preparation therefore is crucial.

When you are in a stressful situation the reptilian brain will want to protect you by insisting you stay where you are rather than venture into the unknown. But many of us are already in stressful situations so this is not the answer is it?

Instead practice deep breathing and affirmative re-framing to create the space for the new to arrive.

Affirmations are one of the ways to do this.

Here’s how you write them.

1) What do you want your next position to be like? Think in particular of how you want to feel in this new position? Empowered? Strong? Capable? Recognized? Focused? Happy? Creative? Successful?

2) Write a list and then create affirmations using the words you’ve chosen. Affirmations must be written in the present tense as the brain does not recognise the past or future as action states… remember you want the place for action to occur.

3) Once the affirmation is complete. Clear your mind. Have a couple of deep breaths and then placing your hand on your heart, say you affirmation aloud. This allows your whole body to recognise the vibration of your affirmation.

4) Repeat daily until you have either created the change within or feel more self confident.

Good luck!
