Simple, read some Epitectus and realize that you have no more power over being laid off or not than anything else.

"We have no power over external things, and the good that ought to be the object of our earnest pursuit, is to be found only within ourselves".

I've gone through two layoffs unscathed this year so far, both times I was more or less unconcerned with the outcome, because firstly I don't feel defined by my job, and secondly I'd kind of enjoy the challenge of getting something new. Granted having some savings does help, but focus on yourself, what you can do and you talents and you'll do alright
