Staying Strong

Well, my New Job did not come to me by the time my vacation was up, and I had to go back to my old job today.

Knowing that it has been difficult to stay positive while I'm there, AND that I want to continue to focus on bringing a wonderful New Job into my life, I had to do a little mental prep work last night to pump myself up and make sure I was mentally strong for today.

Last night I had begun to fall into my old chains of habit related to worry and dread, thinking about how much I was going to dislike everything at my old job. When I realized what I was doing and how this old process had attracted unpleasant things into my life, I gave myself a little talking to that went something like this:

"Come on now...get a hold of yourself. You know you're going back there, so you may as well make the best of it. This is YOUR life, and you want it to be a good one. Try using The Secret during the day - make it part of your daily plan at work. Meet about it just like you'd meet about a work project. While you're busy during your workday, stay calm, stay focused and positive, and make sure you have a good day - you're the only one who can make that happen. And, this is your life - own it."

So, this morning, the first thing we did at my old job was to talk about our joint goal for the day - we wanted to each have an enjoyable day, stay calm, work objectively through any difficult situations, and support each other as needed. We decided to view everything from the attitude of a temp employee, since that's what we are - we'll be leaving soon when we get our New Jobs! As temp employees, we can avoid any emotional attachments to projects or outcomes, and can keep an objective attitude about most requests and situations.

And, it worked! We congratulated one another at the end of the day over our terrific success. We maintained a calm and positive feeling throughout the ENTIRE day! We're planning to hold a similar meeting every morning to map our our goals related to The Secret and how we want to manifest the Law of Attraction in our personal and our work lives.

I'm so proud of our progress today. I know we can do it again tomorrow.
