SURVIVING THE PDI
JOB SEARCH
ADJUSTING TO JOB
. . .
If you play violin for eight hours a day,
then the parts of the brain responsible for
helping you to play the violin will get
larger. If you’re thinking stressful thoughts
for the whole day then those parts of the
brain are going to get larger and other
parts of the brain will deteriorate.

It's not stress that kills us,
it is our reaction to it.

in-the-moment
S T E P - B Y - S T E P G U I D E
Is this accurate?
Is there anything you can
do right now?
Is freaking out going to
help the situation?
Who told you the
information? How sure
are they about it?
If not sure, get the facts.
If sure, is this as big of a
problem as it feels like?
Within the next 15 minutes,
is there anything you can
do that will positively
impact or resolve the
situation?
Is there anyone else who
needs to know right now?
I've found, the answer to
this is NO.
If there is nothing else
you can do RIGHT NOW,
and you know freaking
out isn't going to help,
BREATHE.

"Gratitude also opens your eyes to
the limitless potential of the
universe, while dissatisfaction
closes your eyes to it."
S T E P H E N R I C H A R D S
Grateful People...
have stronger immune systems
have lower blood pressure
have fewer aches and pains
sleep longer (and feel more
refreshed upon waking)
exercise more
take better care of their health

"I found in my research that the biggest reason
people aren't more self-compassionate is that they
are afraid they'll become self-indulgent. They believe
self-criticism is what keeps them in line. Most people
have gotten it wrong because our culture says being
hard on yourself is the way to be."

Did you know that more than three-quarters of
people reported regularly experiencing physical
symptoms brought on by stress. Half reported fatigue,
44% headaches, 34% stomach upset, and 30% muscle
tension. Nearly one-quarter (23%) reported change in
appetite, 17% teeth grinding, 15% change in sex drive,
and 13% reported feeling dizzy. Nearly three-quarters
(73%) reported experiencing psychological symptoms
caused by stress, 50% reported irritability or anger,
45% felt nervous, 45% lacked energy, and 35%
reported feeling as though they could cry.
Positive Reframing
Did you know that 1 out of 4 people do not
experience psychological or physical symptoms
brought on by stress? In fact, 1 out of 2 people don’t
lack energy, are free of fatigue, headaches,
irritability, anger, and nervousness. Additionally, 3
out of 4 people report no change in appetite, no teeth
grinding, no change in sex drive, and no dizziness as
a result of stress. Finally, 2 out of 3 report no
stomach upset, no muscle tension, and do not feel as
though they could cry as a result of stress .
Positive Reframing
Lower's density in amygdala (the
stress center of the brain!)
Prevents thinning of prefrontal
cortex (it normally thins with age!)
More grey matter in the hippocampus
(stress decreases grey matter!)
Greater emotional intelligence
Protects against heart disease
Improves immune system
Lowers blood pressure
