hey gang, it’s been a while. So the first month of 2018 is almost over. I love January as everyone is so up beat, and ready to kick ass with it being a new year. For me 2018 was always meant to be a kick ass and get shit done kinda year. 2017 started okay for me, then went tits up then ended shitty again. However I picked myself up and told myself to told letting the situations that make me so sad affect me and finally make a change!
So here we are almost at the end of January, I’ve got myself a new job in a field I’ve been itching to enter for some time now. I’ve left a job I’ve not been happy in for some time, I’ve made some travel plans for the year, I’ve got exciting trips planned, and I of course got my shit together. It’s safe to say I got far too comfortable in the job I was in despite being un-happy. You kinda get to a stage where you know you need to find a new job, but you end up finding yourself not pushing yourself to go of it. I doubted myself, I have anxiety when it comes to anything to do with selling myself, despite actually being really good at prepping interviews and doing interviews. But I think for me giving myself the push of finally saying “No I don’t deserve to feel like this everyday” so I took the jump. And I honestly couldn’t be any prouder of myself for landing a new job and pushing myself for it.
I think from my previous experience I really want to get across to people that if a job makes you unhappy or you feel like you’re being wasted there, leave. You won’t regret it. You should be in a role that motivates you and allows you to develop not belittles you and makes you feel like you’re not good enough daily. You should be surrounded by mentors/managers that want to encourage and support you.
Don’t stay in a job for the money, be in a job for a passion and motivation to do something with your life.

You’re looking BEAUT as always. And good luck with the new job! As someone who has changed jobs numerous times in the last few years due to being comfortable or unhappy, I whole heartedly agree! xx
