Day 8 - Backsliding

 

I'm on Day 8, but I have been in the Tools To Life program for 17 days.  I logged in every day for the first 7 days, then I fell backward.  I slept in late, did not do my checklist, did not do any warm up exercises or meditation, and generally just gave up on myself and life.  I have been unemployed and still no job and very few interviews. 

 

On Monday, I said I am going to put in for any job even ones at minimum wage with no benefits and only part time.  I have been a busy bee these 3 days filling in online applications and emailing cover sheets and resumes.  I started to talk myself into hope again and said any job is better than no job plus it will give me some money coming in and contact with people.

 

I wasn't going to come back to Tools To Life, but realized that even if I have to start all over it is better than not finishing it.  So here I am, back again.  I'm going to try my best and have decided even if I miss some things on the checklist each day to keep going and try to do better the next day.

 

I have been rereading the blog comments and my email and wish to thank all those who have commented and want to be my friend.  You really inspire me to keep trying.

 

Oops, there's the doorbell.  Must go!

Keep Going!

Hey there!

 

First of all, well done for coming back! The easiest thing would be to forget about what you want to achieve, so by making that extra effort to get back on this and finding a job is something that you should be very proud of.

 

i reckon the next interview you go to, you will get the job - why? because you have more effort in, be more positive and happier - and where it may not be the perfect job - these things can always lead to something else.

 

So keep up the great work, and well done again for making the step forwards.

Good to see you again.

Hey,

 

It is great to see that you are back in the groove (so to speak).  Don't give up on tools, and more importantly on your own goals.  I love your pic (rainbowsky) and would hate to see you leave.
