I have had the question come up a lot lately. How do I stay motivated?
How do I get going?
I’m having a tough time staying focused.
If your looking for work, I am sure you ask yourself similar questions. I find that you need to get your mind and body in a state that will help you be more productive with your search.
One of the ways that many of my clients have found successful is Dressing for Success. I suggested that they put on their work clothes. Get the suit out, put on the tie the shoes.
Get ready for a day of working for you. Working on you.
Yes, looking for a new position takes work! If you change the way you feel by changing our clothes, you will find that you will see a shift in attitude. That shift can lead you to being more productive, more focused, and yes more motivated! It will also put you back in the mind set that you are working.
I also suggest that you schedule time for your search as you would if you were working. When your done take off the work clothes as you would during a regular work week.
One of my clients took it a step further, he actually dresses for work takes a drive gets his cup of coffee and comes back home to work on his search. It has improved his motivation, his attitude, his focus and his outlook.
