Even if you think you’ll be leaving your present work, being positive about it now is the best possible platform for change. This sounds counter-intuitive.

Being positive and being at peace will help maintain your energy levels and support your self-esteem which will help when it comes to networking and applying for other opportunities.

Take a new notebook (as expensive and as beautiful as it can be) and write down your answers to the following questions:

 What do you enjoy in your present job?

What does your job give you?

What are you grateful for in your current work?

What are you achieving at work now?

How could you increase your contribution at work?

If there were one thing you could improve, what would it be? What’s stopping you?

What opportunities are there for developing your role at work?
