PLANNING PROGRESS AND PROSPERITY WHILE LIVING WITH JOB INSECURITY

Nothing is permanent in this material world. Then how can someone think of a job. Job gives you more opportunities to upgrade your skill and maintain confidence in yourself.

Being afraid of something is natural for everyone, this is what you hear from everybody but in my opinion this is wrong. You should not be afraid of any ups and downs in your life. If you love your work but you are not comfortable with the company then it’s better to go for change. Company does not matter. Sometime change in your career leads you to bigger and better positions.

Love your job but don't love your company, because you may not know when your company stops loving you- Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam

It is natural to fear but it is more common when you lose confidence and lacking in your skills but also no one is perfect in this world. Every person whether a common or extra ordinary have the qualities to skill up and move to his favorable locations.

No job in this world is permanent even maybe you are an employee of a company for more than a decade. Some people get shifted towards his comfort zone in his company. They really don’t know but this situation and even this mindset demotivate them and start degrading career. This situation tends arise their fear but within less time this fear increases and increases that reduces their quality of life.

It makes changes in their behavior and affects their wellbeing. To overcome this you keep your head down and try to fly under the radar at work. You start criticizing and put your colleagues down, so you can try to look like a super employee. You keep yourself in bad employment situation that may cause stress and anxiety and limit your abilities.

You suppose it as an emotion and you'd rather avoid it. This emotion can be very paralyzing and fearful. It automatically triggers your instinct to survive and through you in overthinking. You may think about your family. You fear job loss because you fear what will happen to your family when money is not coming in! How you and your family survive! But you must know one thing that anyone at any given point of time can be fired even the executives’ likes CEOs, CFOs etc.

Some people feel fear of job loss due to depression, globalization or technological up gradation. The person who is very poor in physical health has more chances to experience this fear. They do not know how to handle the psychological pressure and stress of living with constant job insecurity. This fear of job loss can be very harmful to their health and career rather losing their job in actual.

It is very critical in bringing a positive change by avoiding negative vibes, like talking negative things about persons, colleagues, meetings, companies’ performance, and client issues. Just throw all the negative nodes from your life along with negative people and maintain confidence.

Let’s try it in different way, If your purpose of doing a job is to get money to live life then you actually fear of having no money, no money to fill liabilities. You should ask yourself, if you have enough money to survive the whole life then you are doing a job? Will you have this fear? Will you do any economic expansion?

Your answer will be absolutely not, here you would be doing job for yourself not to others, for your passion not to be more creative and artistic yourself.

So the conclusion, you do not love the job you are doing and that’s why you do not have any interest in it and you do not have confidence in yourself, may be the one of the reasons to experience job loss.

If you understood the problem now let's build a game plan for the day your job ends. Always be cordial to old colleague and eager to meet new professionals. Stay in touch with senior talk in phone or try to meet them. Meeting new people will create a network you may know today network is net worth. It will ease to search for a new job.

Try to save money regularly and set aside the dedicated amount for say six month to nine months of unemployment. The average job search is each estimated to be less than nine months. So you need not to be stressful about lack of money to survive and carry on side hustle.

Some people learn any hobby and convert it to their passion. It may lead them to get unexpected income. And more over they create a fun way to work with their passion and it will supplement their income. Their passion can be a full time job and source of income. It will also diversify their income source. It will lead to overcome fear of job or a scarcity of money even when they lose their primary source of income with extra time in their hands. You can also immediately crank up the hobby or passion career and it will lead you to earn more.

Some people get satisfied with whatever they are getting. This is their comfort zone and stagnation. But they should keep on improving their skills, gather new degrees, explore new horizon. For them it will be a door of new opportunities. This will profit them in two fold. The first one, they will be busy in their chorus than sitting idle and getting two things, and second one it will provide them a sense of security to be efficient enough to soar any high.

The best way to crush your fear of job insecurity is to maintain confidence in your abilities to cope even in odd situations. Remember your existence is finite so don't live a life that you do not want or others expected from you. You are the creator of your life.
