It is the New Year 2012 and many people around the world are ready to renew their lives with new goals, aspirations and New Year resolutions. Let's all work towards the best.
I know all about this first hand.
I would say things started to take a turn for the worse for me in November (things always seem to take a turn for the worse as the holiday times fast approach). I quit my job working as a hostess at an independent chain in Austin, TX in hopes of redirecting my career life in a more "stable" industry called retail.
BIG MISTAKE.
I ended up making 60% less at my new job than my old & to be honest ... my new position at Vickies was harsh and challenging. My life began to spiral out of control by early December. I was barely making ends meet and what's worse...?... no money for bills or holiday shopping [ouch].
My love life suffered as well. As my pockets flattened, I found out my love interest of 2 month was not the person I thought he was. We broke up and I was heart-broken.
So two smacked downs in less than three months and I am feeling discouraged, pessimistic, lonely, poor, unhealthy and sad. And gosh, just really really sad.
Upon Jan. 1st, I made up my mind that I will not wallow and indulge myself in self-pity. Don't get me wrong, from time-to-time, I get lonely and it upsets me. I am still job hunting for something better, and that can be challenging and frustrating. But I know I cannot wallow in self-pity and if I want to make some positive moves in general, I have to pick myself up and dust myself off.
Job losses, layoffs and break-ups drain you and can have a negative impact on your self-esteem. With Feng Shui though, there is something we can do about those changes that throw us off guard.
Above is a post that I hope will inspire anyone going through challenges and how to actively make a change so the going gets good. Reference is by FengShui.com. I encourage you to read the article in full when you get some time.
Many Blessings in this New Year
