I will start by saying:
I wanted to start this blog because I have issues just like everyone has issues. I have begun a "journey" to work through some of these issues and thought that maybe some of the things that work for me can work for others.
I am going to share anything and everything that I feel has helped me.
I also plan to use this blog as a sort of casual journal and therapy as I work through some of these issues.
Anxiety/Worry About Work and Money
This is really just an intro to this topic. This is pretty broad and is something that has been ongoing in my life and I know will take a lot of work to get through it.
I have been feeling really anxious about not having a steady income job for a while now. Being a student, living at home with my parents still, I don't have say, a worry that I will be on the street if I can't pay a bills. Despite this, I have found myself, for the past couple of months, no past couple of years, obsessing and stressing about what job I'm going to have in the future and how I'm going to get there.
I would think that, "If only NBC would call me back for an interview" I can show them how hard of a worker I am and things in my life will finally be stable." When I got past the first round but never got a callback for the second I felt incredible disappointed and felt like I would never amount to anything. This is just one example of the back and fourth that goes on pretty much in my daily life.
This book is by Derek Sivers called "Anything You Want". Now this book is not solely responsible for my changed state of mind but I definitely recommend it to everyone. The picture link goes to his website that has linked me directly and indirectly to a wealth of great information.
After reading this, and a few other books I realized that I was looking in the wrong place. I have already been doing a lot of research and personal self help, but I plan to post each topic and see where things go.
If you care to know more about me, I am working on my profile right now! = D
