This morning I got rejection letters from both of the jobs I was in for. In the past, this would have sent me into a downward spiral of self doubt, and mental abuse of myself. I have always been my own harshest critic. Not this time though. This time I just kind of said “meh, these weren’t the ones” and moved on. I kind of felt my thinking starting to go into that old pattern a couple of times today, but I was able to sort of cast it aside within the first couple of seconds, and go on with my day. I spent some time thinking about what I’m doing right now, and getting that new job just isn’t the focus right now. Getting the house refinanced, and getting our medical debt and other stuff paid off so we can move on with life is. Once that’s done, I can pick another goal to go after.
I have a kind of loose plan for the next year or so. If all goes well, I can refinance and stabilize things in October. After that, I am giving myself a few months of mental break. My run of US/LM ends on November 17th. After that, I might do another three month cycle, or I may try MYPSL (Yes, I’m married, and yes this is OK in my particular situation) and see what I can get. Then, somewhere between February and May, I get back on the i get right back on seeking the kind of job I want.
I have used the latest version of Find Your Perfect Job twice, and it had worked, sort of. In both cases, I got the job I have consciously wanted for many years. However it didn’t work out either time. I think that my mistake was that I kept consciously pushing too much, and didn’t just let stuff happen. I’ll try that one again, but this time I will avoid being such a type A about it.
