This Is How You Recover From Losing Your Job

Unemployment would happen to anyone. You reached a crossroad in your professional life, and a change would do you good. The economy forced your company to let go of some employees, and you were one of them. Either way, you were relieved. Really.

You would undergo three stages of recovery, which was far from chemotherapy. (You're being overdramatic, which is fine.) This was how you recalled it:

Stage 1 (First two weeks). You have more time on sleeping, you can catch up on your reading. (You never thought that unemployment would remind you of a breakup song.) You didn't fix your bed after walking up. You skipped the gym, as you chose to slouch on the couch. You deserve it after working hard during the last five years. You were proud of your contributions to your previous company. You didn't go on a holiday, as you believe that pressure is a privilege. And then a thought sank in. You turned down the repeated invitations of your former housemates to go on a backpacking trip in Asia. You were green with envy the other day, as you saw their recent photos (in Langkawi). It was nomad lifestyle for them. You need to look for a new job, so maybe you can join them next time.

Stage 2 (Three weeks to a month). You were able to adapt to a routine in a short time. You would visit the gym on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. A stroll on Tuesday. You met your coursemate last Thursday. (You're still thinking of his invitation to join his firm. You aren't ready to go back in the saddle again.) You cleaned your room last weekend. (You last did it many moons ago.) And then you remembered your literary aspiration. How many times you set aside your plan to write a novel? You tried to pen your first chapter, but you ended up with a wish list. A tan (on your body) is one.

Stage 3 (One month onwards). You decided to update your resume after you saw an ad the other day. You don't mind not being called for an interview, but the next one made you worried. You looked at your resume again. You would get a better job, but no call. You don't want to get worked up, even anxious, so you kept yourself busy. (Check your things. And doing it again.) You became mindful of your expenses. And you were spending more time in front of the computer screen. You would make another attempt (to write a chapter). Positive thoughts, and nothing else. You're almost there.
