It’s not uncommon for people who are unemployed to experience a loss of
\nself-esteem, which can cause you to become disconnected from your
\ngifts. This can present a problem since you need to be connected to
\nyour skills and strengths in an interview with a potential employer.<\/p>\n

Here’s an exercise to help build your self-esteem and connect you to
\nyour skills, talents and abilities. It’s called the “Life Inventory
\nProcess” and it’s  designed to help you to become clear about “Your
\nUnique Offering.”<\/p>\n

Doing this exercise will allow you to gain clarity about all that you
\nhave to offer a potential employer which, unfortunately, a simple
\nresume seldom does completely. So, the “Life Inventory Process” is a
\ngood way to address this issue so you’re prepared when you get an
\ninterview.
\nHere’s how it works:<\/p>\n

1.Make a list of your life’s “Highlights and Achievements” beginning
\nwith grammar school to present day. Include areas of your life where
\nyou shined when you were a child such as sports, art, school etc..
\nRemember, even little successes count and will help you to reconnect to
\nyour gifts and achievements. The purpose of this exercise is to help
\nyou re-connect with aspects of yourself that you may have forgotten by
\nhelping you recall the achievements in your life.<\/p>\n

When you are done, hang this up somewhere in your house as a reminder
\nof what you’ve done well in your life and to boost your self esteem. 
\nNote: This is a self-esteem building exercise, don’t give this to a
\npotential employer.  But you can take it with you as a reminder of all
\nthat you have to offer.<\/p>\n

2. Now make a list of your “Personal Assets” which should include allof
\nyour skills, talents and abilities that you’ve acquired during your
\nlifetime through education, life experience and work experience. These
\n“Personal Assets” are your gifts and they are an integral part of who
\nyou are. You own these gifts outright and the knowledge of them can
\nnever be taken from you. Now, review your list to see if there are
\npossible job opportunities that you’ve overlooked. Ask yourself, what
\nother options might be a good utilization of some of your experience
\nand gifts?<\/p>\n

3. Doing daily affirmations are also a great way to stay focused on what you want to create and to staying positive.<\/p>\n

Here’s an affirmation for today:
\nI fully own my skills and strengths. I have much to offer a potential
\nemployer. My perfect job and employer is being created for me now.
\nI see it, I know it and it is so.<\/p>\n

Peace & Blessings!<\/font>
