The Daily Grind – How to Avoid Negative Thinking

How do you stay focused on a job search when it continues month after month?  What keeps you hungry, focused and determined through continued rejection or even worse, not hearing anything?

Here are 4 Key Things You must do to keep up the energy, focus and to stay on track:

1.  Develop your Motivation Team -   This is a group of successful people you know who have your best interest at heart.  Develop a group of 5 people that are positive thinkers, are creative and want the best for you but aren't afraid to tell you like it is.  Meet with them every 2 weeks.

2. Help Others — During this time, volunteer.  Give your time to help others.  No matter how bad it gets for you, it is worse for others and helping them actually helps you.

3.  Exercise —  Do not stay in the house and look at the computer.  Break away and make sure you stay in shape. The energy and chemicals your body produces will keep you positive and much more positive about yourself.  By the way; sex, gardening,danceing,  hiking, long walks with a friend are all reasonable forms of exercise as well.

4. Take a class — do something new.  Stretch your mind by learning new things.  Stay Creative!

So what things do you recommend to stay positive?  I'd love to hear.
