Offset Negative Thoughts: How to Stay Upbeat While Looking for Work

I now create a wonderful new job

Start Your Daily Job Search Ritual with Upbeat Self-talk

How you talk to yourself influences how you present yourself to others. When looking for work you can feel particularly vulnerable and insecure despite possessing incredible talents and experience.

To offset the negative thoughts that set in, start each day acknowledging your positive attributes and affirming your belief in your ability to create and attract the right job--then take action.

These six upbeat messages are for you to use. Even if you feel silly saying them to yourself, 'act as if' you believe them and practice saying them anyway. If you don't believe in yourself you can't expect others to believe in you.

Yes, searching for work can be tiresome and make you angry. But to land that new position you must pick yourself up and start fresh each day. 

I am a strong, calm leader 

bringing wisdom and experience

Each moment of my life is 

new, fresh and vital

I have value and wealth inside me

I love myself—

my future is bright, joyous and secure

I move from the old to the new 

with ease and joy
