Loosing one’s job is no small matter. When one looses a job, much is stripped away. For starters dignity, pride, income, the desire to get up in the morning knowing that one will make a difference in some one’s life. Since we are human we make mistakes that can cost us our job! Managers are also human and make mistakes, the mistake of letting an employee go when that employee was doing an excellent job. Perhaps the manager did not see things the same way as the employee. Conflict can be created in this environment, friction is inevitable. In any case, you have joined the ranks of the unemployed, who now have to withstand everything that comes with such territory. You are in pain, worried, and in distress because you do not know where your next meal is going to come from, or how you will be able to make your mortgage payment.
There is hope in the horizon, your situation will not stay still, this will pass and you will find a job. God knew you needed one even before you lost it. It might sound like a cliche, however it is true, God will provide for you, he always comes through. He is good, and does not want his children to suffer.
Line up some interviews, apply for work every chance you get. Overcome worry with confidence that comes from God. Know that you can get more things accomplished with confidence than with dirty worry. Have a strong sense of confidence. Something else you may do, is exercise, you can add energy to your body, blow off steam as you exercise, this activity helps you avoid depression. It charges your body and your spirit.
You can do it!

Do you have a broken heart?
Tuesday, June 1st, 2010Children and adults can have broken hearts. Broken hearts could be attributed to multiple causes: Parents’s divorce, the death of a loved one. These two causes are packed with losses. When the parents get a divorce, the child experiences loss of a great expectation, which is forever gone that this family would be together. The routines are disturbed, familiarity has vanished, the child does not feel safe, childhood is lost. Now the child has to deal with dual residences rather than one place to call his or her own single home. These losses and even just one of them can break a child’s heart. When someone the child loves, dies it also breaks his heart. We could say that divorce and death are similar in the effects over the human heart.
How do we deal with those losses? When such things occur, we feel bad, how do we deal with the emotional pain? These are experiences that we can not fix. Feelings can not be “fixed”, that is a simple fact of life.
No one tells you when you feel good “do not feel good”, in the same way no one should really tell you do not feel bad, do not feel sad, or do not feel a negative emotion. We need to recognize that feeling bad is not a problem, just as feeling good is not a problem. Feeling bad just is, feeling good is, you can not change feelings.
