Downsized? Take Care of Yourself

Being laid off is taxing to your nervous system, your physical body, mental and emotional well-being.

  • Your first priority is to negotiate a reasonable severance package that includes health insurance and unemployment compensation so you are not worried unnecessarily while seeking for the next job.
  • Take vitamins daily such as Vitamin C, A Vitamin B complex and Echinacea to boost your immune system.
  • Exercise daily for at least half an hour. A serious cardiovascular work out, such as running, walking, swimming, or bicycling will regulate your appetite, sleeping patterns, mood swings and with the release of natural endorphins, you will look and feel on top of the world.
