Job search is terribly
Job search is terribly demanding emotionally and mentally. It will wear you out, drain your enthusiasm, and leave you exhausted, depressed, and apathetic. No one can hit on all cylinders every day. The body and the mind demand an occasional break or they will force it by refusing to obey your call to get going.
Go with the flow by giving yourself the break you need. Allow the day to develop as seems natural for you. If you feel like staying in bed all day, do it – and enjoy it. If you want to watch television all day, or go to the mall, do it without guilt or self-reproach. If you want to putter in the garage, or take a swim, or just eat everything in the house, let yourself go.
Reframe your outlook from “I should be looking for work instead of goofing off” to “I need this break to get myself back together.” Enjoy your day off unapologetically, knowing that it was a wake-up call to take care of yourself, an important activity in and of itself.
