For many of us, the loss of a job is a living nightmare. We lose our source of status and security, daily motivation and drive, friendship and connection, and a sense of purpose in our life. It’s a horrible mixture of grief, fear of the future, and self-doubt.
Unsurprisingly, it can be hard to cope with job loss. But even in this difficult situation, we can use our pain to our advantage by doing a couple of things:
1) Use this unexpected break in our normal routine to really assess the direction of our life and career. Take the time to make adjustments or even take a new path altogether.
2) Sit with our painful thoughts and feelings. Allow them to show us the places in our inner world that could use some healing attention.
