Well, I will probably regret admitting this...but I think I am finally coming into my own with this whole unemployment thing.
At one point last week (I think Monday), it just hit me that I am doing everything that can be done, and that I can't keep stressing out about this. As far as money is concerned, I will pay back all my debts, rebuild my savings, and if worse comes to worse, I can make everyone their Christmas gifts.
It wasn't so much being unemployed that was bothering me, as it was my inability to anything worth while with my time.
I mean yeah...not having a job is a real blow to the self-worth factor...but not being able to do anything with this GIFT of spare time is what was really getting to me. I guess I just felt guilty about working on my hobbies or my non-employment related goals.
I started doing more yoga...that was good. It helped me feel physically and spiritually active.
I should have gone outside more...explored the parks and trails around my house.
I should have started writing my book...which is the one and only thing I am likely to leave this world.
I would have liked to start my garden...but that really does involve at least $800 bucks for start-up. Especially since I plan on starting most of the vegetables in the house. I kind of remedied this and bought a plant! His name is Maurice and he is a Cordyline Maria and he is so so so fabulous.
Anyhow...yeah. I have two major interviews this week for jobs I applied to over a month ago. Maybe that's just how long it takes for them to review resumes...but I am NOT stressing about this.
I have been reading my tarot and it has been an incredible tool for self-reflection and exploration.
That is one hobby I have been working on, with a vengence. I know it's not studying for the LSAT or learning to knit...but it makes me happy.
