Another day, another dollar. My motto for the past few months. Being stuck in this dead-end job, not loving my body, and not taking care of myself spiritually. I have one more month to figure out a better future for myself before shit hits the fan, as you would say.
I talk to friends about my stress, and although they are loving and caring, I can’t get out of this pit. Overthinking! No one putting any pressure on me. No one giving me a time limit, but at the end of the day, I’m like great another day wasted, not moving forward.
So, I did what any millennial would do, I googled how to get out of my head. And some answers are helpful, and others were “how do I get someone out of my head”. Like dam Jackie. I’m single af! Like so single nobody comes to mind when I hear a love song. So, new fear unlocked. Next year I’m turning 30. Never been in a serious relationship. “Why doesn’t anyone want me?”
I’ll be honest it’s a 50/50 type of vibe. One day I’m like screw everything, I’ll do it on way own time, and other days I get into bed and don’t want to face the world. But today I’m deciding to stop being mean and toxic to myself because that leaves the door open for people to treat me badly.
So, here are a few tips I’m giving myself, if it works it works, if it doesn’t, I’ll research and try again. Because no one is perfect and life isn’t either.
1. Never stop sending out your CV, even if you find a better job, there will always be bigger and better opportunities out there.
2. Say something nice about yourself every day, not the same thing twice. Confidence is key.
3. Take a self-care day at least once a week, your body and soul deserve it.
4. Pay attention to how people make you feel. Cut out toxic. If Britney could do it, so can you
5. Offer compassion, but don't try to fix them. Sometimes you get cut by someone’s broken glass, and they’ll leave you to bleed.
6. Say no (and walk away)
7. Remember, you are important!
