Executive Summary

The job search is a process that can be as short as several weeks, or more likely, several months. As with any other process, there are peaks and valleys. One week you have networking meetings and interviews scheduled, people are responding to your emails and you feel encouraged and hopeful then radio silence making you feel confused, frustrated or even helpless. The author offers five strategies for dealing with this emotional roller coaster, including having someone to talk to and engaging in activities like mindful meditation or journaling to help you process emotions as they arise.

Most of us, at some point in our career, will conduct a job search if not several of them. While it can be a time of excitement and hope about new opportunities to come, it can also be a time of great uncertainty and anxiety. Not only will you likely feel the full range of possible emotions during the course of your overall job search, but you may also experience these highs and lows in the span of a single day or week. You might be elated one moment to learn that you are a top candidate for a desired position only to be disappointed to find out that the job went to someone else or perhaps you were unhappy with your performance in a job interview, but were later relieved to learn youve still made it to the next round of interviews.

The job-search process is fraught with ups and downs, not to mention the angst that comes with the uncertainty about the future of your career and livelihood. Here are a few strategies to manage the emotional rollercoaster of the job search:

Know whats coming. The job search is a process that can be as short as several weeks, or more likely, several months. As with any other process, there are peaks and valleys. One week you have networking meetings and interviews scheduled, people are responding to your emails and you feel encouraged and hopeful then radio silence making you feel confused, frustrated or even helpless. Knowing from the start that you will experience these swings in activity and emotion can help prepare you to better anticipate and handle them when they do occur. In particular, when you do encounter the downward part of the cycle, you can say to yourself, I knew there would be days where nothing is happening, and I would feel frustrated, and today is just one of those days. When you know its coming, you will be less surprised or shaken by it, as well as less likely to personalize it, allowing you to rebound and move forward in your search more easily.

Process your emotions. Engaging in activities like mindful meditation or journaling can help you process negative emotions as they arise. In contrast to avoiding, suppressing or ruminating over your emotions which are shown to be correlated to anxiety and depression processing your emotions through mindful meditation or journaling involves actually feeling these emotions more fully. It is this ability to experience our emotions, without judging them or trying to change them, that allows us to move through them more quickly and effectively. In a classic study, unemployed engineers journaled about their thoughts and feelings related to being unemployed for just 20 minutes a day for five days. Eight months later, 52% had found new jobs compared to only 18.6% for the combined control groups. In addition, brief mindful meditation creates improved emotional processing and reduced emotional reactivity and has been shown to enhance our emotional processing, even when were not meditating.

Get support. Having someone to talk to throughout your job search, such as a career coach, therapist or a job-search work group can provide much-needed emotional support, beyond that of friends and family. An experienced career coach who is an expert in the job-search process can also help normalize what you are experiencing and feeling at any given phase of your search and can be a good sounding board to help guide you when you are feeling unsure of yourself or what to do next. As with a coach, a job-search work group can also help you feel a sense of partnership to help mitigate feelings of loneliness that can often arise in a job search, creating a sense of community as well as providing tangible help to advance your search.

Engage in energizing activities. Make sure your days include activities that energize you, such as exercise, listening to your favorite music or some other activity that revitalizes you. Your mood and overall energy level will show in your interactions with others, whether its a coffee meeting with a former colleague, a networking event or a job interview. Exercise, in particular, not only has a positive impact on mood, but also increases self-esteem, sociability, motivation and cognition and can help you be at your best. David, a client of mine, started exercising daily during his job search. He not only lost 15 pounds and three inches from his waist, but also felt mentally and physically stronger, had a greater sense of agency and was more confident going into interviews.

Put things into perspective. Its easy to feel powerless or discouraged when things dont progress in the job search the way we would like. Perhaps a contact hasnt made an important introduction for you yet like she said she would, or a recruiter hasnt gotten back to you in the timeframe he initially indicated. While you can send a friendly reminder, take a step back to think about their other possible existing priorities. Chances are, your job search isnt in their top five priorities on any given day. Seeing this perspective can help de-personalize the situation and mitigate the negative emotions surrounding it.

Roberta, another client of mine, was deeply depressed when her job search hit the one-year mark after she lost her Finance job in the last recession. Her depression, while understandable, created an unproductive cycle of negative thoughts and feelings which kept her paralyzed in her search. I asked her what Roberta 20 years in the future would say about her year of unemployment. Without hesitation, she said, Oh, its a blip. This its a blip perspective allowed Roberta to emerge from her depressed feelings to not only envision a more successful future, but she also was able to move forward much more productively, and ultimately landed another job as a partner at top-performing investment management firm. Feelings are temporary, as are many of the situations that create them (such as a job search). Seeing these challenges as impermanent is a key part of being optimistic, which is associated with higher levels of motivation, achievement, well-being and lower levels of depressive symptoms.

Using the strategies above can help make the inevitable shifts between the highs and lows of the job search more manageable as well as help you to stay motivated and productive for the duration of the ride.

Matthew Morrisons wife Renee has sadly revealed that she suffered a miscarriage.

In a series of Instagram videos posted on Saturday, the mother of one opened up about the experience of losing her unborn child and how meditation has helped her through the tough time.

I found out [I was pregnant] at four weeks and began the cycle of miscarriage on my sixth week, she said. Thats a whole conversation I would love to have but the point of today is to tell you how meditation helped guide me through this journey and this experience.

As she explains, meditation allowed her to rise above those conditioned thoughts that come after experiencing a miscarriage, revealing that he mind raced through myriad possibilities of what could have led to the miscarriage, from a new masseuse to exercising

Despite the harrowing thoughts, Morrison said that her husband asked if she was okay because she remained so calm, somethings she credits mediation for.

And, God, you are goddesses. And we all deserve so much acknowledgment and love and support and encouragement.

The hottest luxury and A List news

Theres Soho House for creatives looking to network poolside, The Wing for women who want a female-friendly work environment complete with millennial pink decor, and now, The Well, for fitness aficionados who dont want to part with their athleisure.

The Well opened in September in Flatiron and provides members with 360 wellness- workouts, nutritionists and a healthy restaurant out front. Think part co-working space, part luxury gym.

The top floor houses a restaurant and cafe that will be open to the public, along with a small boutique. Downstairs, theres a room covered in plants that looks like a hipster millennials dream apartment.

The plants are thriving, which could be because a plant whisperer sings to them (you'll wish you could bring a plant whisperer home to your sad looking succulents.)

The culinary team then collects herbs from the plant wall to use in teas and food.

Theres also a space for reflexology, rooms for boutique fitness classes, a private gym, a meditation dome, a spa, and a locker room thats a world away from the typical New York City gym offering, complete with Dyson hair dryers and brand new, clean products.

The concept was created by Rebecca Parekh, who was previously the COO for Deepak Chopra. Her co-founders are Kane Sarhan, who previously worked with the fitness-friendly 1 Hotels, and Sarrah Hallock, who was a marketing executive for vitaminwater, Bai and WTRMLN WTR.

Members pay $375 a month for all of the wellness offerings, including book launches, mindful movement classes and monthly one-on-one health coaching. Theres a team of 10 practitioners creating programs and 50 practitioners in total, including massage therapists, vibrational energy healers, and acupuncturists.

Members meet with their health coach to determine their 'path' and then check in with them once a monthas part of their membership. Members are then given a movement and mobility assessment, so class instructors know what type of injuries to look out for, making the classes completely personalized.

It's certainly a cut above a salad at your desk, andThe Well's centrally located space makes it easy to pop in and take a class, get a massage, or simply pick up a juice during your lunch break instead.

Call it clever branding. Call it peak Silicon Valley. Either way, the Calm Booth by Room will run you $4,195. Perhaps its worth it for the peace of mind and the dozen annual Calm subscriptions the companies throw in. Im not going to tell you how to spend your hard-earned venture capital.

And I dont know, if it means helping to chill out your overworked staff in a top of the line scream booth with frosted Calm-branded windows, there are probably worse ways to spend that money. Also, the soundproofing material is made from 1,088 recycled plastic bottles, so maybe you can help out some sea turtles as well.

From the looks of it, the Calm Booth by Room is little more than a standard Room booth, with frosted glass, softer lighting and a soothing misty forest interior (read: pictures of trees). But its a pretty smart partnership between two white-hot startups. And anything designed to offer some relaxation and buck the open office trend surely has some merit, even if its not snark proof.

Update: The pricing as listed has been corrected to $4,195.

Katy Perry was no shrinking bloom last night in Washington, D.C., at the Silence the Violence charity benefit. The pop star posed on the red carpet in a voluminous off-the-shoulder floral-print gown with sparkling pumps by Roger Vivier.

Her dress had dramatic puffed sleeves with a hemline cut right above her ankles, where she was able to show off an equally eye-catching detail, glittery silver heels with Roger Viviers signature strass buckle. The pointy pumps, set on a 4-inch stiletto heel, were an excellent match to her dress as the buckle featured flower-shaped crystals. Theyre available for around $2,000 on Mytheresa.com.

Meditation can be described as the process oftranscending ordinary waking consciousness or replacing unwholesome states ofmind.

Transcendental meditation, which puts someone ina state of restful alertness and rids the mind of unnecessary mentalactivity, is an effective way to lower stress levels, hypertension, bloodpressure, and depression, according to a study by Daniel Gutierrez, Jesse Foxand Andrew Wood.

Meditation trainers believe, according toGutierrez, Fox, and Wood, that these positive effects are the result ofmeditations ability to help people transcend through their thoughts andemotions.

The meditation practiced at the UniversityCounseling Center (UCC) is an experience where students learn basic meditationskills, such as placing their awareness and focus on the breath in the presentmoment, said Dr. Toi Geil, UCC Director.

Walking meditation is also practiced, in whichstudents learn to place awareness and focus on the sensation of the soles ofthe feet in the present while walking.

While the choice of what type of meditation topractice is up to the students, Geil said, What is popular really depends oneach students unique experience with the different practices.

Meditation is effective in reducing perceivedstress as well as benefiting ones mental health and cognitive/emotionalfunctioning, according to Li-Chuan Chu of Chung Shan Medical University inTaiwan.

Emotional intelligence, tolerance, sociability,empathy, and positive states of mind are found to be enhanced with regularmeditation. Conversely, anger, anxiety, hostility, depression, and relapsesinto depression are found to be decreased in those who practice regularmeditation. An overall improved well-being, including improved emotionalbalance and self-awareness, can be achieved through mediation. People whomeditate are likely to be more mindful about their environmentthepresentrather than thinking about the past and the future, according to Chu.

Beingable to focus on the present helps to alleviate worry and to be moreproductive.

Mindfulness practices at the UCC can have thesesame effects. Geil said the various types of mindfulness practices that includemeditation have benefits that involve calming the nervous system and helpingstabilize the mind.

Geil also said ample research is available to supportthe statement that the following are benefits of mindfulness practices: feelingless stressed, improving academic performance, and improving ones generalsense of wellbeing.

Geil said many people will benefit from mindfulnesspractices such as meditation, and that if a person wants to learn mindfulnesspractices for managing stress and improving well-being, then I am happy to helpthem learn various mindfulness skills.

People who suffer from headaches and migrainescan benefit from meditation, too. According to Mandy Oaklanders articlepublished in Time, people who meditate saw a decrease in the severity oftheir headaches as well as 1.4 fewer migraines a month. The length of theheadache also changed, with meditation taking off an average of three hours perheadache.

The UCC has incorporated mindfulness relatedapproaches intended to help students improve their wellbeing since the fall of2014, according to Geil.

The Big Sky Workshops have been offered througha collaboration between the UCC and the Wellness Center since the fall of 2015.These workshops and group offerings are based on the Koru mindfulness programthat was developed at Duke University, said Geil. For additional informationabout this program, refer to Mindfulness for the Next Generation byHolly Rogers, MD, and Margaret Maytan, MD. Meditation and mindfulness has beena part of UCCs practices for years, and Geil said, I have been helpingstudents in individual counseling learn mindfulness based stress reductionskills at the University of Wyoming since I was hired in the fall of 2012.

Health professionals are exposed to situations of emotional vulnerability by being in continuous contact with patients and their suffering, which can cause conditions such as compassion fatigue, according to a review article published Sept. 9 in the International Journal of Mental Health Nursing. To address this issue, therapies such as mindfulness are being used to reduce stress and promote self-compassion.

But practicing mindfulness and meditation takes practice and knowledge to strengthen the nervous system in its response to stressful situations.

Its much like how an athlete trains for a sport, according to Susan Taylor, PhD, who leads the Relias Focused CE series, Focused Awareness: Bringing Mindfulness Into Focus for Healthcare Professionals.

The goal is to help clinicians learn how to use mindfulness and meditation to stay centered, become less stressed and help care for patients.

What happens is the mind is this field of energy, said Taylor, director of educational programs and founder of the Center for Meditation Science.When were outward driven and being bombarded with issues everyones in panic and fear and worry its learning how to tap into your own resources. We tap back into our own center of being. Meditationallows you to do that, if its done systematically, with precision, skill and in a systematic way.

Mindfulness is awareness, according to Taylor.

We have to bring that awareness into ourselves, so we can make the changes that we need to so were not disturbed, she said. In essence, we build resilience.

Nurses often cant change whats happening around them, but they can change themselves from the inside and project those changes to the outside world, according to Taylor. She tells people to remain CALM Consciously Aware Living in the Moment.

That could apply to the nurse in a busy emergency department who is surrounded by chaos. But applying the CALM approach, according to Taylor, is something the nurse would have had to learn and practice at home to strengthen the nervous system and harness strength in stressful situations.

Its the nervous system that reacts when youre in the work field, she said. If that nervous system is balanced and strengthened, then when you get into that situation your brain is not going to be wired for reaction.

Taylor continued, Youre going to be able to step back. Youre going to stop, observe, detach and then do whatever you need to do to make those changes without saying Oh my God, whats going to happen! The nervous system is not going to get into the alarm state that drains us. It drains us so fast and readily. Thats what aging and disease is all about.

There are different approaches for achieving better awareness and clarity. Researchers wrote about focus meditation for healthcare providers in a paper published Sept. 9 in the Swedish healthcare journal Lakartidningen.

Providers can practice the attention skill when facing an emergency by remembering a STOP sign Stop, Take a breath, Observe and Priority first.

Another approach, called insight meditation, helps providers observe their thoughts, then lets them pass and bring clarity. The authors wrote insight meditation can be practiced during emotional distress as SOAL Stop, Observe, Accept and Let go.

When were aware of our thoughts, we can then focus our life to where we want, Taylor said.

Nurses should learn how to breathe to reduce nurse stress, according to Taylor.

The breath regulates the parasympathetic and sympathetic branches of the nervous system. By focusing on the breath, nurses can strengthen the nervous system.

Taylor recommended focusing on breathing for five minutes each day. To do that, nurses have to learn the basic foundation of diaphragmatic breathing. Cleveland Clinic offers a resource on how to do that.

Once you learn how to do that, then you bring that breathing up to the base of the nostrils and you focus on that for five minutes a day. You can use a counting practice of one to five and five to one, Taylor said.

Breathing through a situation can lessen the toll it takes by taming nurse stress.

The breath is what regulates the thought process, she said. When we get a feeling, it creates a change in our breathing pattern, which then creates the thought. What we want to do is be able to balance ourselves so breath always stays regulated. When that breath stays regulated, then were able to monitor our thoughts and feelings so while were heading north, we dont end up going south.

Another important aspect of being aware and meditation is the ability to relax. But that, too, is a learned response. Nurses cant tell themselves to relax and expect nurse stress to disappear. It just doesnt work, according to Taylor.

Meditation is not easy, but I also dont water it down in the sense that theres a very large spectrum of mindfulness practices, she said. I teach people an authentic, systematic approach because they can then have it as a core to what theyre doing.

Reaping the benefits of becoming more aware, breathing correctly, meditating and relaxing takes learning and daily practice, according to Taylor.

Its something that has to be built up, she said. Were conditioning the nervous system to be more resilient. For conditioning, you need to do it every day.

There is countless research talking about the morning being the most important part of our day.

As the professional working in the fast-paced retail supply chain environment, top performance, and ability to resolve daily ad hoc problems is key to me.

Before I replaced bad morning habits with healthy ones, by the end of the day at work, I was utterly drained. Without even mentioning my energy levels closer to the weekend.I have come across various articles talking about morning routines and decided to give it a go as it cant get any worse.

Although I have found a fair share of great morning routines, I have found that these have the best impact on me. I would encourage you to try them out, but please remember that you are individual and what suits me might not have the same effects on you.

Most people usually wake up regularly during their working days. However, as soon as we reach the weekend, we turn our alarm off and getting off the bed late.

Sounds familiar?

You are definitely not doing a favor to your body.

I think there is no need to introduce a Monday morning energy crash.

By breaking the waking up cycle, we alsobreak our circadian rhythm, also known as the sleep-wake cycle.

The first step I have done to keep my energy high throughout the day is that I had given up my weekend oversleeps.

It doesnt matter what day of the week it is, I am waking up at 6am. Occasionally, I treat myself to wake up at 7am every once in a while, but most of the time, I keep waking up at the same time.

This made all the difference in the world. I dont feel tired in the morning, and sometimes I wake up a couple of minutes before my alarm goes on.

For this to work, I also had to give up late nights, which means I am usually in bed no later than 10.30pm.

My working day starts at 8.30am when I am already in the office.

Why would you wake up at 6am if you have two and a half hours before work?

The answer is, I dont rush the morning anymore.

How familiar does this sound to you?

Waking up ten minutes before you need to leave the house, eat whatever you find in a kitchen for breakfast, and rush into work!

It sure was familiar to me.

I have given up late nights, so I can wake up earlier and dont rush anywhere.

I have time to prepare and enjoy a healthy breakfast but also think about the upcoming day.

Lets be honest, thinking about your busy day full of problems when enjoying your breakfast, make them insignificant, compared to thinking about all of them when running late to work.

Meditation was introduced to me by Joe Dispenzas book Breaking The Habit of Being Yourself.

Personally, I have noticed a lot of things that Joe is talking about happening in my life. However, the book has clarified why it happened or how it works.

I have started to follow his meditation, and it takes about 45 minutes in total before I go and make breakfast.

The impact I have experienced is significant. The biggest area of improvement on me was definitely the awareness of myself throughout the day.

Because I meditate every day, I remind myself of the feelings I want to avoid and what I want to feel. As a result, I am more conscious of my emotions throughout the busy day but also have uplifted mood. This, of course, reflects on others that have contact with me.

I find it priceless as thanks to the positive attitude achieved by meditation, I have established great professional connections since.

This is the first thing I do when I wake up and start my meditation.

I have aglass of filtered waterthat I have left in the room since the previous night. The room temperature water ensures that the body is gently stimulated to wake up and end the sleeping cycle.

Not only that, I mix lime and Himalayan salt with water. This combination is a great morning booster, and Himalayan salt contains many essential minerals that your body needs, and balances your pH levels. Lime, on the other hand, has lots of vitamins, but also its sour taste helps to wake you up.

Last but not least habit I have developed is that I dont look at the phone before I have finished breakfast.Before this, the first thing I have done in the morning is that I was scrolling social media.

These days are gone, and I am actually happier. The side effect of this is that I actually check social media less throughout the day, which keeps me more focused on whats important to me.

I want to encourage you to try these methods for a week and see results yourself. Again I want to remind you that what works for me might not necessarily work for you, so it is vital to find healthy habits that will suit your needs.
