How Long Does It Take to Get Back To Normal When You Lose Your Job?

How long does it take to get back to normal when you lose your job? my client inquired.

Normal.

Hmm.

I pondered the word. 

What would you say if someone asked you this question? Would you give them a specific time frame such as: 

Six months?One year?Two weeks?A couple of days?21 to 28 days?

Normal.  Once again, I turned to the dictionary for a definition of this word:

a : according with, constituting, or not deviating from a norm, rule, or principle

b : conforming to a type, standard, or regular pattern

Will you get back to normal when you:

~~ find a job?

~~ finish your degree?

~~ quit your job?

~~ hear back from a recruiter?

~~ get the right job offer at the wrong salary?

~~ stop being a chameleon and figure out what makes you the amazing you?

~~ ask your boss to stop bullying you?

~~ get the courage to talk about yourself in an interview?

~~ reach out and ask for help?

~~ motivate yourself to lose the extra pounds?

~~ decide that you will pursue an advanced degree?

~~ pack it up and move to another city?

~~ stop living your life to please someone else?

~~ start living your life to please yourself?

~~ find your voice?

~~ accept a job for the salary you are worth?

~~ share your thoughts and ideas at meetings?

~~ negotiate the best deal for yourself?

~~ build your confidence?

~~ make your own decisions?

~~ stop berating yourself?

~~ realize that you are in the right company and the wrong job?

~~ find the courage to start over?

~~ focus more on ‘success’ than you do on failure?

~~ gain an understanding and appreciation for the many talents, gifts and skills you have been given?

What do you think?
