Managing Emotions During Career Change and Job Search, Part Two


Half the battle in successfully managing your emotions during a job search or career change process is in recognizing and naming what you're feeling.  Most of us could barely brainstorm a dozen or so emotions, yet many, many more exist.

As you begin naming what you're feeling, this list of emotions, each arrayed within a cluster of similar but different emotions, will help you expand your awareness of the depth and breadth of all that you feel in the course of any given day:

Happy:


Eager:

Doubtful:

Physical:

Sad:

Hurt:

Affectionate:

Afraid:

Angry:

Fearless:

Interested:

Miscellaneous:

Print this list and try reviewing one or more times daily to expand your awareness of what you're feeling and build your emotional vocabulary.  The more you know about your own feelings, the more equipped you will be to deal with them safely and appropriately throughout your career.

Setting yourself free from negative emotions
The way we feel is largely determined by outside circumstances. In other words we are victim to external factors. If another driver cuts us off on the road, our mood immediately changes and we become frustrated and start swearing. What was meant to be an enjoyable drive suddenly becomes a miserable one. What was meant to be a good day immediately turns into a horrible day. But life does not have to be that way. We can gain control of how we feel. Our feelings do not have to control us, in fact it is the other way round. We can control how we feel. We can choose either to feel good or to feel bad regardless of what other people do to us. This did not come clear to me, until I read Stephen Covey's book, the Seven Habits of Highly Effect...
