Tips To Help You Heal After Leaving A Bad Job

1. Recognize your own abilities.

Make a list of everything you’re exemplary at, professionally or otherwise. If this is too difficult, ask a trusted friend to write down some of their favorite things about you or things they think you do extraordinarily well. Consider prior successful work experiences and identify areas where you excelled. Make a list of them, add to it, and refer to it often.

2. Be deliberate with your former job’s remnants.

If you desire, you can unfollow your boss on LinkedIn. For a few months, ignore Instagram postings from old colleagues. You don’t have to burn any bridges or dismantle your network, but you should be aware of the people and relics from your previous employment who remain in your life.

3. Talk about it.

If you can’t afford a therapist, consider confiding in a friend who has been through a similar experience. Find out what worked for them. Find books about job changes, professional burnout, and overcoming hostile workplaces.

4. . Engage in activities in which you excel.

It’s time to return to the first list. These elements are not needed to be related to professional knowledge. If you are skilled at scrapbooking, make scrapbooking books for your family and friends. Do things that will increase your self-esteem.

5. Don’t believe yourself when you tell lies to yourself.

Remember that your calibration is off right now, and resist the urge to believe the lies you’re telling yourself about your worth and abilities. You will rediscover your sense of self. In the meantime, encircle yourself with people and things that raise you up until you’re on more stable ground.
