Do what you enjoy doing!

”Do what you enjoy doing!”

Does this look like a guy who's not enjoying what he's doing?

This was the advice I’d been given by my psychotherapist last week. Generally not something I have trouble with, but ever since I lost my job I had trouble sleeping and for that reason my doctor referred me on to this therapist.

Ever since losing my job, I have seized the opportunity to reinvent myself. I have a new CV, I just finished a course in Business Analysis and I will do the exam at some time over the summer and I am now aiming my focus at Business Intelligence, datawarehouses and programming. All this with the aid of my own perseverance and books that I have bought on the expense of my employer as part of my redundancy package.

I am currently receiving daily shipments, courtesy of Amazon, with books that I am going to study and put to practise over the coming months. A quiet part of me is actually hoping that I won’t find/have to start a new job too soon, so that I can do some more studying and self-enhancing and make myself even more competitive for a future employer.

Quality Time

This phase is really good for me to rediscover myself and set my priorities straight. I am spending a lot of time on myself. Besides the marathon trainings and courses I am trying to spend a lot of time with those who I hold dearest to me, mainly my family but I am also seeking more contact with my friends. This is something I also want to give to you …

Whatever life brings you, there are many factors that you can’t control, but there are also plenty of things you can do about it. Take the positives in life, no matter what life has in store for you, even if you get rejection after rejection, you can still say that it’s for the best and that you will turn the situation around. I hope that you can take a (small) example from me, I don’t have a job yet, but I am using this time to ensure that I look better on the market and that the next position that I land will be a major improvement for me and my family.

The advice to do what I enjoy doing is something that no one should really have to tell you, but actually remember that you do stuff that you enjoy doing is also important. Doing things that you enjoy doing help you keep a positive attitude towards life and avoid you getting trapped in a depression. My therapist and I talked into small depths about the stuff that I am currently doing and occupying me and he told me that I am taking all the right steps and that the situation will change and most importantly I know what I’m doing and that I’m on the right way, so just continue to do that and the situation will improve itself again.

I hope with this post that I can give all those who need a little push, to remember to do the stuff you like to do! If you like drawing, draw! If you like fishing, go fishing! If you like killing people … get a video game where you can kill a lot of people! As long as you enjoy what you’re doing life will smile back at you, people with a smile on their face and a positive mindset will always achieve their goals!

What do you do to keep a positive mindset?
