14 Tips to Revitalize Your Executive Job Search and Yourself

  With that all said and done, I am suggesting that in order to revitalize yourself and your executive job search you do the following:

1. Start by taking half a day off your executive job search this week. Back off. Give yourself some time to recharge. Leave the house. Turn the computer off, the phones off. Try one hour off a week or half a day. See what works for you.  Do something you really enjoy and that makes you happy during this time.
2. Make sure you are taking care of yourself in terms of eating healthy, supporting healthy habits., (in other words, not doing anything negative in excess) and make sure you are getting good quality sleep at night. Eliminate sleep deprivation! Experts tell you to go to bed at 10:00 PM at the latest.
3. Consider taking vitamins designed for stressful times.
4. Start to put some type of exercise back into your life, if you are not doing that now. (3 times a week if possible. Start slow and work your way up. ) (Consult your doctor first if you have not exercised regularly recently)
5. 1. This will have the benefit of giving you more energy. In addition it will improve your branding and image for your job search campaign.
   2. 8. Sign up to do some type of volunteer work in your community. You will be amazed at how much renewed energy you will receive in return in helping others that are less fortunate or in need. (I volunteer with American Cancer Society, Relay for Life of Barrington, www.RelayforLifeofBarrington.org for example, in addition to other volunteer activities.)

1. Find someone that you can vent to aloud that will really be there for you and just listen. You need to reach out and make sure you are not isolating yourself.
2. Each day think about the 5 things that you are grateful today in your life.
3. 8.Get a couple of hugs from loved ones and friends.
4. 9. Spend some time petting your family animal. Take your dog for walks instead of the other family members doing this chore.
5. Remember to reward yourself for your accomplishments during the week. Celebrate the small and large wins of the day and week. Let yourself have a favorite candy bar or some type of treat for every face-face interview you are able to set up or phone interview. 
6.  6. Practice breathing exercises, mediation, listening to your favorite music, playing the piano, etc.  
7. 7. Get back to a hobby you have not done for a while. Try a new hobby you have always wanted to try but never had the time for.  
8.  Avoid all negative people when possible. They can be a real energy drain.  
9. Get going back to church or place of worship. Now that you are getting “revitalized”, feel re-energized. Let’s get back to looking at your executive job search.
