I just saw this writing prompt on an Instagram post, and it inspired me to share it here. Clearly by my lack of recent posts I’ve been going through some less than confident times mentally lately. It’s been a fun grab bag of emotions and low-level anxiety just kind of hanging around. Nearly everyone I know right now is stuck in some kind of job they hate currently, as many of us were forced to take anything we could find to get through the pandemic layoffs in our industry. I do believe there is light at the end of this tunnel. I do think new opportunities will come along, but for now, we are treading water.
As stated before, I am not good with change. As I look for a new job my mind swirls around all the things that could go wrong (it’s why I’m so good at my job of event marketing- I prepare for nearly anything and ask all the questions), but I never stop to think about all the good things that could happen. So today I’m giving myself the green light to imagine all the good! I hope you will find something in your life to reflect on as well. For once, let’s imagine the best that might happen!
Wouldn’t it be cool if I got a job paying me over 50% of what I was making before? Wouldn’t it be cool if my new company really appreciated my ideas and encouraged my career growth? Wouldn’t it be cool if my next job offered an excellent opportunity to do my job and still disconnect when I’m not working? [Don’t even get me started on how many job listings say you should thrive in a fast-paced, ever-changing atmosphere! This is often just code for you want to overwork your employees and not plan ahead and ask them to work far beyond their regular work hours.] Wouldn’t it be cool if I was surrounded by great people that inspired me every day at work and also inspired me to continue to live my best life? And wouldn’t it be cool if I could find a job where I actually make a difference in the world, even if it’s just in the lives of my coworkers?
I know it can sometimes feel greedy or unrealistic to ask for so much from a job or whatever else you would like in your life, but I also believe that if you don’t ask or speak it out loud, how is the Universe supposed to know what you want? Let’s give it a little guidance! Let’s break out of the mold of always assuming the worst, or believing that there are no great jobs out there anymore. As the Secret would say- Ask. Believe. Receive. So I’m asking for all this and more. I believe that the job that is in my highest interest will appear in my life, and I will know it when I see it. I am open to receiving. I am open to believing. Are you?
Where could you be open to more good in your life? What cool things would you like to invite in? I’d love to know where you need help. I really believe that just holding that vibration for you when you ask for help works. It’s what many call the power of prayer. I don’t subscribe to any organized religion, but I do believe that sending out intentions can work miracles. So what good can I hold for you? A new job? A new relationship? A less stressful life? If you can send me some of your good thoughts, I’ll send some right back for you as well!
Wouldn’t it be cool if we all worked together to lift each other up?
