I see what you mean.
Last night, I was having this bizarre "battle of the beliefs". I was worn-out when I got back to my dorm and really didn't do anything productive. Mostly I just looked at various sites on the internet. I tried taking a nap, but the whole time I was trying to do so, there was a siren going off outside, and I was expecting that the tornado alarms would go off inside the building, so I didn't get much of a rest. However, nothing happened inside the building. So, when I got up from my nap, I was still pretty tired. And, on top of that, I had some stomach issues going on which kept waking me after I finally decided that I would go to bed.
As I was laying in bed through the rest of the night, I kept thinking that time is running out, that I haven't filled out any job applications and that I'm not going to have any money coming in to me for the summer and beyond. (I actually told my mom that I had filled out some applications, but I can't see filling out any and not being able to make it to an interview, as I'm going to school in a town at least two hours away and I'm fairly busy here). Besides, I do have a temp job. I just might ask for them to put me on the Temp-to-Hire list. Which brings up another fear of mine which I will get to below.
Basically my mind was telling me that my life would go downhill from here, and that I had nothing to live for. But, then my mind was automatically countering all of those negative thoughts! I had the ultrasonic subs playing behind me all night long and my mind was saying "It's OK. You're going to be filling out a ton of applications anyway. And you are going to meet new people that will help you in your career and life. And even your "impossible" dreams will become a reality. Even if you get a job that goes nowhere, the universe will conspire to make sure you do go somewhere. And you don't really have to go back to the crappy life that forced you to go back to school in the first place." The subject that the last comment counteracts still has me really bothered; as I had horrible work experiences before I decided to go back to school.
So, I don't know what's on those subs, but they seem to be helping. It was weird that I had a pep talk going through my head that counteracted everything my mind was saying. And made me feel a lot more positive in the meantime!
Yesterday, and last night especially, really hit home the fact that I'm going to have to ensure that I listen to the subs a lot more than I have been. I sometimes worry that I don't feel the euphoria, since I have to use Windows Media Player to effectively make playlists for my Sansa mp3 player. And now I'm all worried that Media Player is messing up the subs--especially after the thread on the CDs I made (I still have to check them out on Audacity). But I seem to be getting effects, regardless.
Another thing that I decided that I was going to do when I get home is exercise a lot more. I will get a YMCA membership just so I have an excuse to get out of the house so my mom won't harp on me. And I need to lose weight, and it will make her "so proud" that I'm losing weight and exercising. I will also help when I get around to listening to the Woman Magnet subs.
I'm feeling surprising good this morning despite the fact that I hardly got any sleep last night.
