Believe in yourself

Believe in yourself


In my journey to heal, belief and trust that I am worth all the things that everyone tells me I am worth, I have started to realize that it's all in the way that you look at life. If you have a bad attitude, the people in your life, the actions you take, or the overall prescence around you will be negative.

However, on the other hand, if you tell the world that you are perfect, you are amazing, than the results will be exactly that; amazing! It may seem silly, but tomorrow morning, take a piece of paper, write on it "Today is Amazing" and then tape it to the dashboard of your car. Make sure it is in your line of sight while you are driving, changing the radio station, or checking your rearview mirror.

This little note will make a huge difference. It's one thign to say today will be amazing, it's another to actually make it amazing. Perfect exampe of this, I have been looking for a part time job, with teh recent split from the ex, funds have been tight. In an effort to keep myself afloat, I started putting out resumes hoping for a part time job. At first I looked at it as I need this, I have to get this, and looked in areas that I knew.

What a surprise, I got no hits! I was over qualified for some, others sounded perfect but didn't fit the hours I was avaialble, and I began to feel defeated. Being an avid reader, I had started a new series and was flying through the first book. I had to get to B&N to get the 2nd and 3rd books; they were that good.

Not really thinking about a job, I went to the local store, found my books ad wen tto check out. While waiting I thought, hmmm I could try to apply here. I asked if they were hiring, the clerk gave me a card with the store info and the website to apply and out the door I went.

Still not really feeling like I was ever going to find a new job, I carried on with my reading, my day to day work life and trying to make ends meet. 2 maybe 3 weeks pasted and the small card was lost from memory. After an interesting day at work and talking with my male boss about, Coach purses, of all things, I decided to clean out one purse, swap it for another and was excited when I found that forgotten card.

I figured, why not put in the app, try and see what comes of it. About another week went by and guess who got a call for an interview yesterday!?!? Yep - This girl! The manager said they were looking for seasonal temps with the potential to stay on after the holiday and could I c ome in for an interview. I was super excited and said of course, what time!

Interview scheduled for today at 5:30p and I turned into a nervous wreck. I haven't interviewed for a job in over 5 years, have some court stuff now on my record and what happens if I don't get it?? Bring on the defeat and woe is me thoughts right? WRONG!

Remember me telling you to put that note on your car dashboard, well I have had that very note in my car for a few weeks, and this morning, just like every morning, I looked at that note, and beamed a smile from ear to ear. I said to myself, "You know self, it IS an amazing day!" Over the course of the day I laughed, I smiled, and I didn't let the fear and self doubt take over. If I started feeling like I was over thinking the interview, I would redirect my thoughts and tell myself "you got this".

At 5:15p I arrived at B&N, asked for the manager being that I had an interview with her at 5:30p and proceeded to wait for her to come out. 5 or 6 deep, deep breathes and 10 minutes later, out came the manager. Within a matter of minutes we were laughing, chatting back and forth and I knew I had it in the bag. What should havev been a first interview that would have normally turned into a second interview before any decisions were made turned into 15 minutes of required questions and an immediate offer to join the team being made!

Here's looking at the newesst Sales Associate at B&N pending the backgound check. All because I told myself "You are perfect, you got this, today is amazing!" Now to get through the background and I am golden.

Send happy thoughts, tell yourself you are amazing, don't let anyone tell you otherwise and if they make you feel unworthy, know that it is only what they see in themselves that they are projecting on to you and that is for them to deal with.

I have been telling women that for all the years I have been on here. Self Esteem is what most of the women I have come in contact with lack. I tell them to stand in front of a full length mirror every morning totally naked and say am a GREAT person". At some point they will begin to believe it and the change will come.

Be safe, relax and just have fun!
