Biz: Don’t be so scared of losing your job. It’s killing you.

  • No, really. A study says so. Three sociologists, based in California and Michigan – two perfect locations for a study like this – say that chronic worry about job loss leads to health decline more than the job loss itself. “Persistent stress is a strain on people. It is the unrelenting nature of the uncertainty that really gets you,” their study noted. So lighten up and act as if your crappy job isn’t even in jeopardy. source

    Job loss…Been there. Done that. Yep, still ‘there’. My heart goes out to those still getting ‘pinked’. But I agree that worrying doesn’t help.

    For me, losing my job was one of those defining moments in life. I knew I had a choice: I could choose to lose my way (my mind) or rise to the challenge and follow what my Spirit tells me to do, always remembering that I am more than a statistic on the news.

    I’ll share with you what I was told the day I got “set free” (laid off) from my job: “This is a new chapter in your life. WRITE ONE HELL OF A CHAPTER!” And I did just that! Will you?

    So if you just need a break from the doom and gloom, let me send you a FREE book download…no strings attached, really!

    Yes, times are tough, but it doesn’t mean that we can’t still ‘give back’ to one another. This is simply my way…

    take care,
