Ok, gotta brag about this author again. I received "Choosing Happiness" by Alexandra Stoddard this past Christmas from my family. I love her work! She makes it ok to be happy. Especially in this day and age, we are so accostomed to feeling bad about being happy. There is always so much to do and we feel guilty for taking time out for ourselves (why are we one of the only countries that don't mandate time off? Many countries require their employees to take at least 2 weeks off, some a month or more!) She talks about taking care of yourself. Finding the good in everything and truly owning your happiness. As many people know me, I like to be happy. I want to feel good.
I did something that would be perceived as stupid last month. I quit my job. Without another lined up. Not a very society thing to do. I was unhappy. I was not sleeping. I became anxious on Sunday around 1pm just thinking about Monday. I was not happy. I took a chance, what felt like the right chance to me. One day after quitting I got an interview...the next week I was working full time with a pay raise and reduced rent. EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON! Always trust your gut.
Sorry if this is preachy, this is coming from the heart right now. I'm sleeping great! I feel like a weight is lifted off my shoulders. Am I in my correct path? Who knows. What I do know is to trust my feelings and everything will work out.
How about them apples? :)
It always works out!!! I was so proud of you for making that decision and knew it would all be fine. I want to read that book when you're finished!!!
