Self Care
Self-compassion is crucial during challenging times like job losses or missed interviews, some ways to be kind to yourself:
- Acknowledge Your Feelings: It’s okay to feel disappointed or upset. Recognize your emotions without judgment.
- Practice Self-Care: Take care of your physical and mental well-being. Rest, eat nourishing meals, and engage in activities that bring you joy.
- Avoid Self-Criticism: Instead of blaming yourself, treat setbacks as learning opportunities. Everyone faces rejections; it’s part of the journey.
- Seek Support: Reach out to friends, family, or a mentor. Talking about your experiences can provide comfort and perspective.
- Set Realistic Goals: Break down your job search or interview preparation into manageable steps. Celebrate small victories along the way.
“Self-care is one of the active ways that I love myself. When you can and as you can, in ways that feel loving, make time and space for yourself.”
— Tracee Ellis Ross
