I give you permission to take off today and tomorrow from your job search (Christmas Eve and Christmas Day) if you want to. Go ahead relax, take a few days off and enjoy the season. Not a lot goes on for the next two days and even if it does you still have my permission to take it off.
Actually you have my permission to take time off each week of your job search. Working hard for a period of time straight can drain your body and soul. So taking some time off is important. Always remember that you might be taking time off with your activities, your brain will still be working hard on trying to figure out the puzzle. The “break” or “time off” is so very important so you don’t overload your head with junk and emotions which can clog up your pipes.
I have always been a fan of time off. Time off is just as important as time in. I know in order to go to the next level or be better than the other gal (or guy) you have to put in the extra time and burn yourself thin, walking that thin line between moving forward and all-out injury. I do get it. What I don’t get is when someone does it for the wrong reasons. They do it to look good or try to fill another void in their lives. So instead of dealing with a fear they have they fill it with hard work which eventually burns them out.
Work hard when you job search during your most important hours of the day. Then give yourself a break and it will reward you more than you can ever imagine. Put yourself in new situations every day and expand your subconscious so it can drive your conscious.
Enjoy your time off. You might miss something but sometimes you have to miss one thing to find the right thing.
