Quitting one’s job is a process
While it can be easy to over-react to a problem at work – whether it be a disagreement with a boss or built-up stress – employees should carefully weigh all their options prior to quitting the job once and for all.
Ilchi Lee believes that considering all of one's options is a sign of personal growth that can be useful throughout a person's life.
According to a recent article on The Street, while the job market may be improving across the country, we're still in a period of recovery, so workers should not simply assume that they will be able to land another position if they step down from their current post.
In this same vein, it is important to be honest with oneself over the reasons for wanting to quit the job, according to Brazen Careerist CEO Penelope Trunk.
"In general, people quit their jobs because they are delusional and think they need more time for something, like writing a novel or traveling," Trunk, who is also a business blogger, told the news source. "These are not actually good reasons to quit your job."
Rather, workers should focus on more legitimate reasons for quitting such as health or potential negative impacts of the job on one's family or personal life, Trunk said.
If the reasons are there and the employee decides quitting is the only appropriate step, they should make sure to give their employer plenty of notice so that they can hire someone else to step in right away.

Stress can be combated with brain wave vibration
In our lives, we often encounter situations that cause stress and other emotional complications. This is to be expected, as the world that we live in is full of information, tragedy and conflict. However, it is important to put these negative influences aside and embrace harmony within ourselves. Ilchi Lee says that brain wave vibration is one technique that can be practiced to help individuals find peace and restore balance to their lives.
Though brain wave vibration can be practiced anywhere, there are specific places that may help one reach an optimal state of peace more easily and efficiently. A serene location, such as Mount Washington in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is one such place that is especially conducive to successful meditation.
The view from atop Mount Washington at dusk may be one of the most beautiful scenic experiences that one will ever encounter. At the summit of this steep hill, individuals are able to take in a panoramic view of the entire Steel City, as well as the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers . Brain wave vibration practiced up here may be extremely successful and help one to restore peace to their lives.

Find bliss in the big city at Chicago’s Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool
With all of the hustle and bustle of big city living, it's easy for one to let the world get them down. Yet just because one is visiting Chicago on business doesn't mean that they have to forget their own path to personal growth. Those travelers who are spending time in the windy city can remember the teachings of Ilchi Lee and improve their brain wave vibration by meditating in the calm and serene setting of the Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool.
Formerly known as the rookery, the Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool is a peaceful and beautifully natural setting located within Chicago's largest public park, Lincoln Park. It is an example of prairie school landscape architecture and has been listed both on the National Register of Historic Places and as a National Historic Landmark.
The pool had originally been intended as a haven for imported tropical water lilies, yet was transformed by the work of noted landscape architect Alfred Caldwell in the 1930s into a natural green space perfect for relaxation and contemplation.
Visitors will find the consistent Chicago breeze soothing as they relax and let the weight of the world slowly lift from their shoulders along the water banks. The spot is exceptionally peaceful at the onset of fall, when the leaves have begun to turn and the cool temperatures create a crisp air that puts the mind at ease.

Important to keep resume up-to-date
While one's career may not define his or her personal growth, it certainly represents a major aspect of one's life.
As such, it is important to keep one's resume and other important documents up-to-date at all times, as you never know when a new opportunity could present itself.
Although a person may feel comfortable in his or her job, one's career can generally always reach new heights, so maintaining an updated resume with the most recent, relevant experience is absolutely critical.
This is particularly important because new job opportunities may come and go quickly, meaning candidates need to jump at the chance and submit an application right away in order to be considered.
If the person needs to re-work his or her resume based on recent accomplishments or experience, this can take valuable time away from applying for the position and giving the prospective employer an opportunity to evaluate one's qualifications.
Finally, having a cover letter template in place and being able to quickly adapt it to specific positions is also critical, as this can save time and effort when it comes to submitting one's application.
