七招助你求职路上High起来

 1.Avoid talking to negative people.少和悲观的人接触。

You need all the cheerleading you can get, so try not to talk to those who have lost all hope and are trying to get you to feel the same way. Misery¹ loves company and spending time with negative people can influence how you feel as well.

你需要的是能激励你的人，所以对于那些对什么都不抱有希望，还企图让你和他们一样悲观的人，你要尽量避免和他们接触。悲观的人总希望别人也和他们一样，如果你总是和这些人在一起的话，你也就免不了要受到这种悲观情绪的影响。

2.Work out.锻炼。

When you're unemployed², working out will help you stay positive. The endorphins released during your workout are known to boost moods and the overall well-being³ of a person. Studies have shown that working out also gives you more energy, which is essential during your job hunt.

失业的时候，锻炼会有助于你保持积极的心态。当你在锻炼的时候，大脑中会产生一种脑内啡的物质，可以提高人的情绪及精神状态。研究表明，锻炼会使人精力充沛，而这在求职的过程中也是非常重要的。

3.Wake up early.早起。

Retract⁴ the shades on your window so you'll be waking up to the sunrise every day, or set an alarm clock that will get you up at an early hour. Just because you don't have to clock into an office in the morning doesn't mean you should sleep in. In fact, researchers from Roehampton University found that people who get up earlier have happier and healthier lives than those who sleep in. Develop healthy sleep habits for a better mood.

把窗户弄干净，这样每天太阳升起的时候，你就能醒过来。或者给自己定一个闹铃，提醒自己要早起。即使你现在不需要早起工作，不意味着你可以睡懒觉。事实上，罗汉普顿大学的研究发现，早起的人比那些睡懒觉的人要活得更开心更健康。现在就开始养成良好的作息习惯吧，你的心情也会跟着好起来的。

4.Go to networking events.参加社交活动。

Going to networking events is not only just good for building up your professional Rolodex, but it also benefits your positivity. The people you meet at events will give you encouraging advice on your job hunt and can also be potential leads. It will give you hope and help you persevere⁵ on your job search journey.

去参加社交活动不仅可以让你的名片盒里的名片多起来，还有助于你保持积极的心态。你在各种活动上认识的人一定会鼓励你，给你一些积极的建议，还有可能给你指出一条明路。社交活动会帮助你、给你希望，让你在求职的路上走得更好。

5.Clean your home.打扫房间。

Living in clutter⁶ can make you feel anxious and depressed⁷. Make sure your home is in tip-top shape so that it will feel like a welcoming place. Cleaning will also help you feel more productive. To get started, try out this cleaning schedule.

住在杂乱无章的房间里心情也会变得低落和焦躁。把你的房间收拾干净，你自己住着也心情舒畅。打扫房间还会让你觉得做事更高效。从现在就开始，把房间打扫干净吧。

6.Read as much as you can.多读书。

Enrich your mind by doing a lot of reading during your spare time. There will be a big difference in your mood if you decide to spend the day reading educational content rather than watching reality shows.

闲暇时间多读书会提升你的心智。把时间用在读有用的书上和把时间花在看电视上，两者在情绪上的效果是有很大区别的。

7.Don't overspend.别乱花钱。

Do be frugal⁸ during this time and try not to overspend. Money is definitely a big stressor for job hunters and there's nothing more depressing than seeing the numbers in your bank account drop. If you are planning on buying things you can't afford to cheer yourself up, remember that there are ramifications⁹. Find frugal alternatives that won't drain your shrinking bank account, especially if you're not making income.

在求职的时候要节俭，不要乱花钱。经济上的压力对于求职者来说是一个大问题，看到自己银行账户里的钱一天天少下去，谁的心情都不会好。如果你想通过购物来使自己心情变好的话，那么记住要有节制。在你还没挣钱的时候，还是去找一些节俭的方式来发泄吧。
