Periods of unemployment are challenging and stressful.  In our labour market, we can experience seasonal downturns that can last a few months.  Job searching is important, however experience tells us there may be a wait as well.  Why not use the wait to your advantage.  This article from The Muse tells us of people who used the time of unemployment to accomplish other things.  Life is not just work, and we are not just what we work at.  We have multi dimensions to our interests and abilities.  Use the time to develop these.  A top priority of the unemployment period is to take care of your health, build your strength and endurance.  Find wellness before employment thrusts you back into the pressures of schedules, deadlines and work priorities.

Have a read from the Muse.  Happy Friday everyone!
