Charms of the soft life!

 I woke up admonishing myself for wanting to keep applying. I was feeling quite competitive that a colleague was getting interviews. Then I was remembering another colleague that literally has gotten every job I've applied for, seemingly with ease. It's almost comical.

So I was going to take a 1 month hiatus from applying. Eventhough I said I wasn't going to do it at all this year. But here we are.

Then it turned into just make Sept 1 to Aug 31, 2024 your hear of happiness. But I realized when I say 'don't do x or y or z,' I automatically want to do it. So I have to reframe it to emphasize the opposite.

So instead of don't apply, try... enjoy the freedom of 1 job and the flexibility it gives you. Enjoy your downtime and the fact that you can live comfortably on 1 job.

I just want this to be a good year without the pressure of making it the best year ever.

I just choose me and relinquish known stressors. 

Why choose hard when you an choose easy.

Things I want to emphasize/enjoy:

- Enjoy 1 job

- Enjoy the new adventure

- Enjoy self-reliance of solo-adventures

- Enjoy the stress-free path of leaving old memories in the memory book; investing in new relationships and the wonder that comes with it; forming new relationships; re-discovering interests; tilling new fields vs robbing old graves

- Rediscover yourself without the ghosts of the past to haunt you

- Developing new routines focused on where you are now and who is proactively investing in you

- Enjoy the freedom of a fresh start; leave old worries in the rearview (literally)
