Are you stressed? Or an alternative way to relax and cope with anxiety.

Morden society put a lot of pressure on us. New technologies made our life keep moving faster and if you are not quick enough you may miss out on many opportunities. Our brain has used to think constantly figuring out the best solutions and best ways out. And we as a society have definitely become smarter and more efficient but the downside of this is that it has become more difficult to relax. Ever when many of us come from work our brains would still be in the office trying to solve work-related isues. And there are many ways to calm down our minds and relax. One of my absolute favourites is ASMR or Autonomous Sensory Meridian Respons - a pleasant sensation in your body (tingles) that appears in response to some external stimuli.

They are:

1. Be personal

2. Be relevant

3. Be confident.

I developed those rules based on my personal experience. Cover letters that I have written helped me to be selected for interviews with organisations such as Palmerston North City Council, Department of Conservation, Massey University, Wildlife sanctuary Rotokare and a couple of community organisations. In addition, I have led a recruitment process myself. This has given me a different perspective. I had not understood why employers always ask to provide cover letters when everything important is already written in the CV. But after I was selecting candidates for a position of a project coordinator myself I  understood in-depth the importance of cover letters. I’ll give you an example. Let’s say you are applying for the position of an English teacher. All people who would apply for this position will have a degree in teaching English and some experience working as a teacher, so most CVs will look the same. Cover letter, on another hand, is your chance to tell your personal story and make your application memorable. So let's explore the 3 rules:
