Job Search Tips: Eliminate the Stress During Your Executive Job Search Process

Today I want to share with you some proven ideas that you will want to try, to help reduce stress in life. Pick the one that resonates the most with you, and try it. Then go onto try others stress techniques  Look for ways to reduce and eliminate stress in your executive job search.

Look for ways to reduce and eliminate stress in your executive job search.

Research has shown that you can reduce your stress by praying for others. Neil Krause at the University of Michigan conducted a study that showed that over 1,000 people who prayed for others helped reduce the financial stresses and strains on the person they were praying for.

In the process, they also improved their own overall well-being. It's important to note that praying for material things did not have this same positive effect. Leisure activities can also have a positive impact on stress. Examining various groups of people following a stressful situation,

Sky Chafin at the University of California studied which types of music were better at reducing their blood pressure. They found that people who listened to Pachelbel's Canon and Vivaldi's Four Seasons Spring, movement 1, relaxed more quickly and their blood pressure dropped more swiftly to its normal level following a stressful event than those who listened to pop or jazz music. In fact, those individuals who listened to pop or jazz following their stressful event had results similar to sitting in total silence.

Based on this research, I suggest you go to your local library this week and take out Pachelbel's Canon and Vivaldi's Four Seasons Spring, movement 1. Another technique worth trying is to spend 30 minutes outside in the sun. With the higher temperature and barometric pressure, you'll find yourself in a better mood and with improved memory. Those who spend less than the suggested "magic" half hour in the sun will discover themselves in a poorer mood than usual.

This recommendation is based on a study conducted by Matthew Keller at the Virginia Institute for Psychiatric and Behavioral Genetics. Another way to relieve stress is to just lighten up! It is suggested that everyone should laugh at least 15 minutes per day.

In fact, doing so could save your life. People who are able to spontaneously use humor to help them cope with their stress will have especially healthy immune systems. They are also 40% less likely to suffer a heart attack or stroke, and on average, they live 4.5 years longer than their humorless counterparts. All of these benefits were discovered by Michael Miller and his colleagues in 2005 at the University of Maryland while researching the topic.

To better endure stress, consider adding a canine to your family. People who own dogs tend to cope with stress better than non-dog owners. (That includes us cat owners.) In one study conducted by Erika Friedman at the University of Maryland, dog owners tended to be more relaxed about life, had high self- esteem, and were less likely to be diagnosed with depression. The primary point of this research was to uncover the social benefit of owning a dog and the positive affect such ownership has on cardiovascular functioning. The results stand to reason. Dogs have to be walked. Therefore, people who walk dogs tend to interact with other people during such walks. Dogs help promote social contact, which reduces the stress in their owner's lives. Now the good news is, if you want to embrace this idea and do not own a dog, then you can buy an iDog and still get some of the companionship benefits that help eliminate loneliness. (Marian Banks and colleagues at Saint Louis University School of Medicine conducted a study that substantiated this theory.)

Watching TV can also be a stress buster, depending on what you're watching. If you want to reduce your heart rate and blood pressure in less than a minute, take a break and watch Animal Planet or an animal video. If you watch a soap opera, on the other hand, it produces the same benefits as looking at a blank TV (i.e., virtually none). (Deborah Well, from Queens University in Belfast, found this tendency to be true in her research.)

The information I am sharing with you is from Chapter 2, in from The NEW Rules of Job Search – How to Land an Executive Job in the New Economy.

Have a great and productive day. I believe in you!

Take care,

Job Search Tips: A New Way to Approach Life That Should Help Your Executive Job Search

 

<p style="text-align: center;">I came across this today in Three Minutes a Day by The Christophers. I thought it was a great simple straight forward way to approach everything in your life, including your steps in the executive job search. These steps will show you how to get a six figure income job in this current labor market.
Another Ten Commandments
I. Thou shall not worry. It's unproductive.
II. Thou shall not be fearful. Most things we fear never happen.
III. Thou shall not cross bridges before you come to them.
IV. Thou shall only handle one problem at a time.
V. Thou shall not borrow other people's problems.
VI. Thou shall not borrow other people's problems.
VII. Thou shall not try to relive yesterday. Focus on what is happening and be happy now!
VIII. Thou shall be a good listener because some people do now more than you do.
IX. Thou shall not become bogged down by frustration, for 90 percent is rooted in self-pity.
X. Thou shall count thy blessings including the small ones.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Sometimes when we are going through challenging times, we can get up in what feels like being stuck on a plateau, or a downward spiral.
More than 73% of the steps of the executive job search process involve getting a more positive mindset. If you are fighting fear or doubt in your life and executive job search, you need to first focus on getting a positive mindset and belief that the only way you will succeed is to keep being persistent on working on your executive job search.
You must push through the fear, and know that only by taking action in your executive job search will you succeed. Use these ten ideas listed above to work on strengthening your mind set relative to your ability to succeed in your executive job search.
Read this once a day for the next 7 days and see how it helps your steps in the executive job search process. The ten ideas listed above will help make your path of your executive job search process become lighter.</p>

Job Search Tips: 90% of the Success in Your Executive Job Search depends on a Positive Headset

During your executive job search you will need to deal with ups and downs,

A good portion of the ups and downs, will consist of stress and fear. 90% of the success in your executive job search requires a positive headset. Knowing how to conquer the stress and fears during your executive job search is imperative. The Secret to 4th Quarter Executive Job Search - watch your email inbox...

The Secret to 4th Quarter Executive Job Search - watch your email inbox... Secrets to Conquering Stress and Fear

When Dr. Arthur Nielsen spoke at Northwestern University on "Managing Economic Stress on the Home Front," his lecture addressed a study conducted by the American Psychological Association. Titled "Stress in America," this research showed how the entire country was coping with this deep recession.

Those individuals involved with the study discovered the following depressive symptoms in response to the stalled economy:

Feeling depressed or sad: 34%

Feeling as though they could cry: 32%

Lack of interest, motivation, or energy: 40%

Fatigue: 43%

Insomnia: 47%

Irritability or anger: 45% Be careful if you see yourself in one or more of these categories.

Depression leads to inactivity, which in turn leads to more depression.

Stress When it comes to the best ways to deal with stress, the first thing you must do is be willing to admit that you are enduring stress. I know that I personally try to avoid admitting when I am feeling stressed out.

In my mind, confessing stress is a sign of weakness. In reality, the strength arises when you can admit that you're stressed and can back away from the situation and deal with it. Here are some proven techniques that will help to lessen your job-related stress. Michael McCullough and his colleagues at the University of Miami came up with the following proven procedures. I have taken the liberty of modifying these techniques to tailor them specifically to the job search process.

Begin by thinking about the actual benefits that have come forth as a result of the seemingly negative situation of being laid off and unemployed. Have these events helped you:

1. Grow stronger or become aware of personal and professional strengths that you were unaware of before?

2. Appreciate certain parts of your life more than before?

3. Become a wiser person about life and yourself?

4. Become better at expressing your feelings and professional goals?

5. Develop into a more compassionate, empathetic, sensitive, and forgiving person?

6. Identify any of your own shortcomings that may be standing in the way of your happiness and next career goals?

Some simple activities that will help when you are stressed:

1. Religion

2. Literature, theater, movies, television

3. Playing or watching sports

4. Hobbies, recreation, travel, and volunteer work

The information I am sharing with you is from Chapter 2, How to Keep a Positive Mindset in Challenging Times, which is from The NEW Rules of Job Search – How to Land an Executive Job in the New Economy.

Have a great and productive day. I believe in you!

Take care,
