I think I need to stay where I am.

 

I've finished day 28.  I know goal  setting is coming up. BUt,  I'm going  to resist the urge to move forward just yet.  It is hard!!  I can't tell you how much I enjoy getting up in the morning and doing my lesson first thing. 

 

I'm going to take a week....and really work on a few things...  I feel the need to work on my checklist and my night routine.  I'm not consistent enough with the checklist...  I find it very hard to talk out loud to myself.  I don't know why... but it is. My night routine is non existent. So that makes my morning routine erratic.   I pretty much fall asleep on the couch after a long day.   I never think I will..... but it happens. I need to make my bedroom space a place that I want to go to...  It is a cluttered mess. 

 

What makes  my night and morning routines even more important is that it looks like I'm on my way to getting a job.  The temp service has be going to a 2nd interview on site this coming thursday.  They say everyone who has went has been hired.  It is a flexible position that I can set my own hours.  

 

  My mom, who wants me to get a job, is so negative about it though, it is too far away for the money...she says...with gas costs as is....  But to me it is a start.....  I've been a SAHM for so long..I need to stay somewhere for 6 months to a year.  I can still look around  in my town...  If  I get this time in......it will be easier to get a better job later..   I'll find out more at the 2nd interview..   Who knows   maybe I can carpool with someone from around here and save on gas money.  I just know it is the right thing  to do and not the end of all jobs...there will be more opportunities out there...I just have to put in the effort.

I should do the same thing. Good for you.

I need to do that too.  Review that checklist and get a routine.  I've been doing better but, like you, it still needs a little work. 

I hear you I hear you

and Good luck on your interview.  I'll say a prayer for you.

It's OK with me......

I think it is perfectly OK for you to take a week if you feel like you need it.  (If you wanted my permission, you have it)Smile 

 

None of us is here to judge another.  It sounds like you are being much harder on yourself than any of us ever would be.

 

This does not mean that you should stay away from the community and support here at TOOLS.  (If I had 4 children, I would probably need a week on each day). 

 

I know it feels unnatural at first to say your affirmations out loud, but it is so important that you do.  Remember your brain has to hear you say them.  Maybe you could read them aloud to one of your kids.  Or even pretend that you are reading them to someone else.  Be an actress if you have to. The main thing is that your brain has to hear these affirmations in order for your brain to believe them.  It can't hear your thoughts.  (which is a good thing sometime) 

 

Don't give up on yourself, we all have something we're working on, that's why we're all here.  It is normal to have doubts and to slip up so don't be so hard on yourself.  Treat yourself like you would treat your very best friend in the whole wide world.

 

You are a necessary part of this community, we need your input, your help and your encouragement just as much as you need ours.  We need you, I need you, and we're all pulling for you, every one of us, whether we can say it to you or not.
