What to do when you’ve lost your job

If you’ve recently been laid off, or if you wonder what you are meant to accomplish in life, Sue Frederick has some advice. Frederick is a career intuitive and author of the new book, “I See Your Dream Job,” which uses the ancient system of numerology — as well as her career know-how — to help guide you to your true calling. “This is your great opportunity for reinvention,” says Frederick. “Think new thoughts about your work.” Here are her tips to get back on track:
 
1 Shut up! Quit telling your sad story to everyone. Recognize the gift in this opportunity to reinvent yourself. It’s not the end of  your world; it’s the beginning. Quiet the fear thinking and tap into your higher intuitive self where you’ll find guidance you can trust.

2 Be grateful for this opportunity to reinvent, and be honest about how unhappy and off-path you’ve been. Make a list of the secret career dreams you’ve stuffed away because you’ve been so exhausted in your old career.

3 Remember who you really are. Chances are you haven’t been working true to your authentic self and what you came here to do — or you wouldn’t have hit this bump in the road. Stop hiding. Claim your real talents and realign your work so that you’re making a living directly from those talents.
