Managing Emotions During Career Change and Job Search, Part Two


Half the battle in successfully managing your emotions during a job search or career change process is in recognizing and naming what you're feeling.  Most of us could barely brainstorm a dozen or so emotions, yet many, many more exist.

As you begin naming what you're feeling, this list of emotions, each arrayed within a cluster of similar but different emotions, will help you expand your awareness of the depth and breadth of all that you feel in the course of any given day:

Happy:


Eager:

Doubtful:

Physical:

Sad:

Hurt:

Affectionate:

Afraid:

Angry:

Fearless:

Interested:

Miscellaneous:

Print this list and try reviewing one or more times daily to expand your awareness of what you're feeling and build your emotional vocabulary.  The more you know about your own feelings, the more equipped you will be to deal with them safely and appropriately throughout your career.
