He was saying how hot it was, in the 100s, but then when they went into the slot canyons it was down into the 70s. This has been making me think what a difference a relatively small change can make! Unexpected changes and unforeseen opportunities - both good and bad - can happen really at any time. For me, I try to handle this by doing my best, as cliche as it might sound, as well as keeping my eyes open to the [positive chances that might be around me even in the midst of challenging times]. I also try to embrace surprises, and try to at least occasionally get out of my comfort zone. Broaden my horizons, so to speak. In a job search, this is important too. Whether you're looking for a new job, a different job, a better job, or just any job, remind yourself to get out of your comfort zone sometimes. Try new tactics, put yourself out there even if it's intimidating, and [don't be afraid of rejection]. Remind yourself that it's temporary discomfort and is part of the process to a more positive place. :-) In the meantime, please read on for more insight, tips, and great job leads.

Be honest, in reading that, did you automatically start to feel a little anxious? There’s a reason this "question" (though really it's a command) is so difficult for job seekers to tackle.
