Letting Go the Old
Well, it's happened. You have taken the first step in making a change. Whether your change came unexpectedly or was carefully planned, the figured-out flow of your daily life has been disrupted. Unless you manage the change instead of simply being carried along in its wake, you might end up in a less-than-desirable place wondering how the heck you got there. Change is the 800-pound gorilla that you can try to ignore, but, eventually, it will come and sit on your chest, look you in the eye, and thump your head loudly to get your attention. Consider that no matter the circumstances, you are not at the mercy of change. The change process has three steps: letting go the old, attracting the new, and determining next steps. Emotional range is the ability to appropriately engage the emotions on the contracting side of the emotional scale (fear, anger, frustration, etc.) as well as the expanding side (happiness, love, well-being, trust, etc.). Think of a heart monitor. Express your feelings.

Find Your Strengths, Understand Your Weaknesses
We all know intuitively that people have different personalities. Some people are extremely social, while others like spending long periods of time alone. Some people seem like counselors, so good are they at listening to their friends' travails, while others talk incessantly about themselves with no curiosity as to how someone else might be feeling. One of the ways you can find the kind of work you are meant for is by figuring out what your personality type is through an objective measure. I did this recently using an internet test based on the Myers-Briggs typing system, and while it was a free online test and not guaranteed to be accurate, I have to say I was fairly impressed with how closely it matched my own strengths and weaknesses. For example, I am an introvert, which means I draw energy from being alone, whereas an extrovert draws energy from being around people. You say you already know your personality? I'm an INFP.
The Four Temperaments
David Keirsey's temperament theory extends the scheme laid down by Hippocrates, Galen, and Kretschmer. The 16 temperament and personality types described in PTypes are classified in groups of four under Ernst Kretschmer's hyperesthetic, anesthetic, depressive, and hypomanic temperaments. According to the Encyclop�dia Britannica, in psychology, temperament is the aspect of personality concerned with emotional dispositions and reactions and their speed and intensity; the term often is used to refer to the prevailing mood or mood pattern of a person. The notion of temperament in this sense originated with Galen who developed it from an earlier physiological theory of four basic body fluids (humours): blood, phlegm, black bile, and yellow bile.
