How to Stay Positive When Your Job Search Is Dragging You Down

4. Take Care of Yourself

When you’re so wrapped up in your job hunt, it’s easy to let basic—yet important—tasks and routines fall by the wayside.

You don’t want to fall victim to this trap. So, remember to place some emphasis on taking adequate care of yourself. Ensure that you’re eating a healthy and balanced diet. Make time each week for exercise and physical activity. Go to bed at a decent hour.

I know that these might seem like unimportant things. But, when it comes to being alert and maintaining a positive attitude, they’re absolutely crucial. After all, you already know that your 2 AM bedtime and your diet that consists solely of Taco Bell and chocolate pudding don’t really make you feel too wonderful.
