Changing your mindset makes such a difference and I wanted to thank everyone on the FGB for getting me out of my job searching slump! I felt defeated and instead decided to focused on thinking outside of the box and practicing self care. I've started writing again and switched from feeling down to expressing gratitude every day. I have three interviews next week and while I'm not getting ahead of myself as they are early rounds, it's lifted my spirits. Thank you all and have a good weekend!

I too am focusing on selfcare and inward. I was just laid off and didn't know how to address my burnout and fatigue. I'm feeling much more grounded and self-confident now the I'm resting and taking care of myself. I think I needed to be reminded that I will have far better luck with attracting that great position if I'm rested and happy. I truly am grateful for all that I have.

What an amazing testimony! An 'attitude of gratitude' makes a world of difference! Kudos for figuring out a method for staying positive. One thing I started doing last year was downloading a gratitude app on my phone and that forces me to jot down 1 or 2 positives from the day. Game changer! :)
