Gail, a marketing executive, told me that she wanted to get a new job. She dreaded her daily commute which took one hour each way. By the time she got home she was exhausted. She didn’t even have the energy or attention to research new employment. Meanwhile, another goal was to meditate and do yoga. From our work, she agreed to take a yoga class one day a week at lunch time. In addition, she promised to do five minutes of meditation or yoga immediately upon arriving home after work each day. Then she created a list of small ways to refresh her energy during the day on the job. She came to understand that until addressed her worn out condition, she wouldn’t have the physical energy or mental drive to pursue a new line of work. The result was that within three weeks of implementing these self-care strategies, she felt rejuvenated was highly motivated to dive into her job search.
