🗓 Month 5, week 2 into my Journey In Unemployment Land. Here's a list of controllable things.
🚶♀️ I can control what I do with my body. I choose to walk my dog and play with my elderly cat. I cook healthy meals for my family. I drink my water, take my medications daily, and I read often.
🚘 I control where I go. I can get in my car and window shop with my friends. Mike, my husband, and I visit his family every Sunday.
📲 My cellphone is a two way communication device. I'm decisive about the apps I spend my time on, what phone calls I take, who I text, and how much screen time I have.
Here's what I cannot control:
❌ What recruiters do or don't do.
❌ Whether my resume is read or not.
❌ When I'll be hired.
❌ How I'm perceived by others.
❌ The state of the economy.
And these are just the tip of the iceberg. As the holiday season approaches, I am choosing to focus on what I control. I contemplated if I should continue these updates or whether it was worth the effort, but I've decided to keep posting. I think there is value in being authentic and letting people see that they aren't alone. There's space for people like myself on this platform to share our experiences.
