#CareerAdvice : 21 #MotivationalQuotes For Your #JobSearch Or #CareerChange . A #MustRead !
Feeling depressed, defeated and down about your job search or career change is not uncommon. We’ve all likely experienced some form of unhappiness at work. Shawn Anchor delivers one of the most popular TED talks on the subject of happiness. As a positive psychology expert, he’s found that success at work is partly due to a positive mindset. According to Shawn’s research, 90% of our long-term happiness depends on how our brain processes events. Yet much of the time, we focus on what’s actually going on at work or in our careers.
Individuals in my coaching programs are often motivated and experience a change in mindset by things like words of affirmation. According to the book, The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman, if you value words of affirmation, you tend to express and like to receive affection through spoken affection, praise or appreciation. Tia Walker, in the book The Inspired Caregiver, says, “Affirmations are our mental vitamins, providing the supplementary positive thoughts we need to balance the barrage of negative events and thoughts we experience daily.”
Stress can be a result of negative events or thoughts, and there’s no denying that the workplace is a leading cause of stress. The quotes below are categorized into things I often find myself talking about when discussing career changes and strategizing one’s job search.
