LSI Staffing - Kingman

It’s been happening all over the nation. And now it’s happened to you.

You’ve been laid off. Now what?

A general rule: try not to panic. We know you have bills to pay and other commitments that can’t be ignored. So let us give you four ways you can rebound from a layoff.

1. Start saving. Yes, you’ve heard it all before. But it’s true! Even $10 or $20 socked away somewhere will come in handy when you must buy a necessity. You can also only pay the minimum on any debts you have just to keep a little more in your pocket.

2. Keep a routine and challenge yourself. You may be out of a job, but that doesn’t mean you should sit on the couch all day. Get up in the morning, go for a walk, invite a friend over to chat, or brainstorm about new job opportunities. Giving yourself structure will help keep you motivated to gain new employment.

3. Take care of your mental health. Yes, it is stressful and upsetting to lose a job, so let yourself work through these emotions. If you start to feel overwhelmed and your emotions are preventing you from job searching, consider reaching out to mental health services. There are many that are free in every city.

4. Get a temporary or seasonal job. So many companies are looking for reliable and hard-working folks like you. Plus, you can keep earning some income until you secure another permanent job. Who knows, your temp employer may be so pleased with your work that they will hire you for good!

It's the end of March -- how are you doing with your New Year's resolutions? If you are stuck or unmotivated, here are three ways to kickstart your resolutions.

1. Did you set too many goals in too many areas of your life? If so -- you may be feeling overwhelmed. It's OK to scale back. Choose two goals - one tied to your work and one tied to your personal life. Then determine the next steps for each to achieve success.

2. Have you looked at your current habits, and do they prevent you from success? For example, are you trying to be better at finishing your to-do list, but you haven't set any deadlines? Do you want to add morning workouts, but you can't get up early? Examine your options and change your habits. For that to-do list, start using a planner or app that helps you set and meet deadlines. To get more exercise, use your break time to go for a quick walk instead of struggling to get up at 4 a.m.

3. Do you have a support system to help keep you motivated? Think about people in your life who encourage you and stand by you through good times and bad. Ask them to keep you accountable -- check in each week, share your progress, and, most of all, ask for help if you are struggling.
