Shifting In Session

In 2018, I worked as an Instructional Assistant at an alternative school. It was pretty good for about 2 years and then the third year. Let's just say, I was ready to quit before the school year began. Inside myself, I knew it was time to move on, but I thought I could just get through until June. I should have listened to myself. I saw things and was a part of things that have left a mark on me.

On top of that, I was depressed, anxious, and had a heaviness about me. When I finally decided to quit. I felt good, but I had a lot of work to do to get myself back to "normal." Plus, I had family living in my house, which meant even more drama. What I know now is that I was experiencing a spiritual awakening.

Fast forward a few years, and here I am at another crossroads in my life. Here I am at another job that does nothing to challenge me, only making me shrink more and more.

A year and a half ago I knew it was time to leave, but I wanted to find something first. Stressing out for months did nothing to help me find a job. Until one day, I realized that my trying to force something to happen was keeping away what I wanted. It was then I decided to let go.

Today I turned in my resignation, and honestly, I couldn't be happier!!! No, I do not have another job lined up, but that's okay because I know that it will come.

This time around the shift was of joy and release. Not of depression and anxiety.

This time around my mindset is different. I am proud of the progress I have made and I look forward to where this next chapter will take me.

Lesson: Don't ever stop listening to that voice inside. Don't allow people's perceptions of you to become your reality.

Don't tell everyone your business. No one needs to have everyday access to your soul.

Keep dreaming.

Keep thriving.

Keep speaking life over your life and seeking love in your heart.

Much love
