In this fourth and final installment of "Strategies for Dealing with Unemployment" we will look at how unemployment can impact your mind.
Dealing with unemployment can have a tremendous effect on your mind. You go from being employed and having a definite purpose everyday to being unemployed and wondering what you should do to find your next job. For some it can be easier to deal with unemployment at its onset, but as time passes uneasiness and panic can settle in if you allow it.
Unemployment can have a great effect on their mind of men and women. Men are the expected leaders and bread winners of their households. Many women are the leaders in single parent homes or the leader in their own household. Without the security of knowing where the next dollar will come from it can cause anyone to question their worth.
To help you cope with the mental aspects of unemployment try these tips:
1. Seek to develop your relationship with God. (He will be there with you!)
2. Keep your friends and family around for you for support.
3. Take advantage of counseling if it is available.
4. Journal or keep a diary so you will have an outlet to express your feelings.
5. Never lose faith in yourself!
