By getting into the right frame of mind, getting healthy, improving your “soft skills”, staying connected with friends and family and keeping your brain engaged in meaningful activities you are well on your way to creating a stable environment in which you can succeed in your job search. Think of it as building a new home on solid ground versus sand. Obliviously, the home built on solid ground will be much more stable. By creating a firm foundation during your career transition, you and your family will be much more stable.
