I have now officially moved from TUMBLR.com which I loveeeeee……… but unfortunatelly is not very accessible to all my friends who want to read about “The Journey’s and Adventures in Career Transition”.
I’m really excited about it. More comment, more comments and hey, more adventures!
As you know I’m going through one of my own and thought the best way for me to get through this was to write and share it. So enjoy the read.
This week it is getting close to March and things are happening very quickly.
So what have I been doing this week:
• I found myself a group of like-minded writers to meet with once a week I’m excited about them because we keep in touch a on a regular base and I feel like I have a little family of supporters towards finishing.
• I am becoming more regular at updating post on this blog and after two hours of figuring out how to comment I now I have a comment section.
• Doing my three regular activities once a week and making this fun instead of toil makes every step more rewarding
•I came across a number of really good website which I might be able to will help me in future as I know my funds maybe a little short and I might not always be able to afford a certain amount of services:
• www.swapaskill.com - I’ve registered but need to update a profile
• www.justfortheloveofit.org/ these are site based on a bartering system of swapping services for skills instead of money. – I will come back later and check it out
•uk.moo.com - an affordable way of making cards and marketing material
•Something called Jelly- http://www.uk-jelly.org.uk/ a place where like minded individuals; casual co-working event for freelancers,and collaborate together in a social environment. I found one near me in Crystal Palace.
How do I feel so far-
I feel very excited today me and some of the writers, from my writer-space group were swapping ideas and sharing wisdom which was so needed.
But yesterday, I came across my first stumbling block. For a brief moment I felt like crap, about a discussion I had with someone at work. I also realized that I don’t actually have to absorb other people’s discomfort. If I’m not happy about something than I should make the changes necessary by at least airing my thoughts. Complaining is good for a moment but once I’m done, I have to take some action or suffer in silence. All I have is 5 weeks of a job.
What I need to do next –
• I need to have a really strong group of people to have my back in hard times
• Find someone that has written a book out of their blog or someone that is already doing what I want to do
• Once I find them I need to get in touch ASAP and ask how they started
• Work a little faster or taking larger leaps of faith
• Always remembering to balance along the way and pacing myself
Even though their are still a lot of questions I ask myself I can see a shift in thinking. They say it takes two weeks to change a habit and here I am in three weeks of consistent work. Goodbye February. Hello March!
