Getting fired from your job can be very stressful. Almost instantly you begin to wonder how your bills will get paid. You think you are not going to find a job. Well I thought the same exact thing until I realized that sulking over the past was not getting me anywhere. The first step to take after being fired is to take time to breath and relax. One week max, because it is okay to stop lick your wounds. Before you know it you will be back on track again taking care of business.
