"Applying for job is a job in itself!" I don't remember who said that but it is true!
My motto was you have to help yourself first only then god and others can help you..
I had to come up with new routine keeping my mental stress into consideration..
I start my day earlier than usual - 6:30a.m.. Have tea, yoga, fresh up and breakfast.. By 09:00 I sit by laptop and start applications.. There were days when I wouldn't even realise it was 15hr30! Eventually lunch time got shifted to an hour later on some days.

After doing enough applications for the day, by 17:00hr, I either go out for grocery or walk or jogging.. If not then, 30 mins workout. I have to say that I am blessed to be staying in a nature surrounded area.. I also diverted my mind by doing nature photography! I end the day in most the simple way.. Have dinner and watch some movie!
My 09:00 am to 5:00 pm job turned into job application job!!
There were days where i didn't feel like applying anymore. I also cried over my situation.. But I realized crying doesn't make the situation better nor it helps in any way.. What helps is Taking Action.. Finding solutions!
I keep reminding myself life keeps getting better.. If there is down.. There is for sure up also! Just like Ferris Wheel :) Keep going!

On those type of days, I don't apply.. Instead I re-do my cv and check out for job from mobile.. Take Screenshots to be applied for next day !!
After some weeks went by.. I got used to the new life and found that I should take this as an opportunity to slow down, enjoy the free time and try new things.. I started my driving license lesson also!
Life is good.. I am healthy and well surrounded.. Taking that time to relax..chill..!
I understood that life and happiness does not revolved around career or job! Find happiness in little things.. Do not attach it work..!
"Do a work that make you happy" - i DISAGREE with this.. Had i gone by this, i would have been the most unhappy upon losing the job!
It is just a phase.. And that too shall pass by..
keep rocking!!
