When you are in the process of looking for a new job, it can be a very stressful psychologically. Psychological stress is often caused by problems to personal reactions and perception.
In other words, a situation can be stressful for one individual, but for others, it might not be at all. It is possible to keep your balance through some of the strategies below, which can help you make better decisions in the future by giving you the space to make informed decisions and deal with psychological stress.
Rather than visualising how you will perform, visualise how you will show up. The trick to clearing up some of the fog of your head caused by stress is to be able to imagine how you would like to appear at the competition.
The benefits of doing this are that you will be able to clear your mind from some of the distractions brought about by stress, and you will be able to be calmer and more focused.
The best way to deal with worry is to schedule an appointment. You should schedule that heavy thought so that you can visit that thought only once per day, at a designated time, when there is something pulling at your mind.
The next time it occurs to you, as it will eventually do, just remind yourself to move on and that it has already been scheduled.
It is a good idea to give yourself a moment to think. Be careful not to make any rash decisions. It would be best if you were to sit back and wait for at least 24 hours after receiving an offer if you got one.
In this way, you will have your own space to think about what choice is going to be most fulfilling for you in the long run, and it will give you the opportunity to move past your most immediate instinct.
Many empirical research studies have been conducted particularly on mindfulness meditation-based therapies.
Evidence suggests that meditation is successful while used in controlling stress and anxiety.
Several aspects of meditation prove to help manage pain.
Furthermore, it helps managing the reactivity of our biological stress responses and blood pressure in response to stress. Some researchers suggest that it may also be a useful intervention for certain functional disorders such as fibromyalgia.
Exercising is also another best strategy to deal with the stress in the period of job search. As the body is automatically prepared to cope with stress, physically exerting the adrenaline energy is a good way to manage stress.
