When you are out of work (or going through a significant life change) little things can make you feel frustrated, overwhelmed, angry and/or irritable. Today’s post is intended to help you move past those feelings and live in the reality that is today.

Today I will point you in the direction of some great resources that will help you put this job search time into a positive light.  One is an interactive diagram that is based on the work of William Bridges in his book, “Transitions.”  The other two are a couple of very well written blog posts that encourage us to think about focusing on living in the present and utilizing the gift of time wisely.

Here’s the link to the Bridges interactive diagram:  http://careeradvice4u.com/moodle/file.php/3/Transitions/engageTransitions.html.  Note, you will need to sign up for a FREE account at Careers 2.0, but it’s totally worth the brief hassle!

Our guest blogger, Larque Goodson, shares with us what she is learning about herself while on a job search.  Yesterday she wrote a post asking for Santa to bring her “presence”.  How many of us could use a heaping dose of that?! (Read Larque’s thoughts at: http://happyasalarque.wordpress.com/)

My good friend Megan Strand writes a blog (InCouraged) on a variety of subjects encouraging people, especially entrepreneurs, to take inspired action. The theme for this week was: Creating and Honoring Space…the spaces in which you sometimes find yourself, the space necessary to rejuvenate those creative juices. I am inspired by her thoughts.

OK.  That’s it.  Now click on the links above and check out the goods. Then go and enjoy the day. . . the weekend. . . and your wonderful life!
