Guest guest Posted July 31, 2001 Report Share Posted July 31, 2001 Hi Dan, I just wanted to say that I've enjoyed our thread on wanting vs. allowing, and that, obviously, wanting works for you, so that's fine and great and keep doing what works!! I shared my learning from the release technique, and the word allowing works for me, it just resonates better for me. I really appreciate being on this list and learning so much from so many wonderful people. Thanks again for sharing your valuable info, and Vive la difference, as they say!! Love and Light to all, Kathleen Caterino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 1, 2001 Report Share Posted August 1, 2001 Good Morning friends, I know this is off topic so please allow this brief interruption. I lost my job on Monday, and I am petitioning the group for suggestions, sage wisdom, and encouragement as I stumble back on my feet. Has anyone here ever got fired? Oh my poor wounded ego, AND the anxiety of the LACK at the moment is creeping up. I swallow it down but there has to be a better way. Please share your insights... I could use fresh perspectives. My ego keeps telling me what a failure I am, my heart keeps saying, get back up, things will get better, Thank you for your understanding Realpassion4life (Patti) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 1, 2001 Report Share Posted August 1, 2001 Patti: This is a strong passage in your life, so I don't feel that it's off topic at all. First off, let me offer you energy, good thoughts, prayers, whatever you need to support your transition here. Know that the full bounty of the universe is yours for the asking because you are a child of the universe. Allow your intrinsic worthiness to overshadow any momentary panic and fear. Remember that fear means " false evidence appearing real " . I resigned from my last formal nursing job three years ago under a lot of stress. I had made such a stink about the conditions where I was working that it was made clear to me that I had the choice to quit or be fired. I chose the former, though I suspect I'd have had recourse if I'd let them can me. I was so worried at the time about my reputation I didn't consider it. Sometimes being fired is better, you have someone to be " angry " at ;-) I still have some PTSD from the experience. Mani and I have experienced a lot of the ups and down of unemployment as he works in the tech industry, and we just went through a brief bout of pinkslip panic here that was fortunately not a reality for us this time, but has been twice before. I understand poverty consciousness and abundance consciousness, and it doesn't really matter how much money you have, you can live in either one. It's your choice. Recently we were pretty tight and the funniest thing kept happening; I seldom carry much cash on me, but just about every time I reached in my purse I would find a five, a ten, a twenty, just when we needed it, and I was sure there was no more to be had. It was like magic, and I was reminded how simple life really is and that everything can be okay if I let it be. It's not like me to " forget " I have money. I still don't know how it got there. But I don't care, either ;-) One of the beauties of a job is that there is inevitably another one. There is always something to do. Take this time to open up your mind to your possibilities, examine your options, reevaluate your goals. This could be one of the best things that has ever happened to you; the outcome remains to be seen. In the meanwhile, take deep breaths, and know that you are always a success, even when you " fail " ... as long as you use the failure as a stepping stone to new growth.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2001 Report Share Posted August 2, 2001 Patti: I know your pain all too well as I went through this 5 1/2 years ago. It's devastating and you have my empathy. First of all, allow yourself time to experience your loss and grieve for it. It's as real as the death of a close family member and you need time to assimilate the loss and all it entails. While you grieve, try to lay your hands on any positive and uplifting material you feel inspires you and lets you recognize the positive things about yourself and your life. View it as a learning experience and an adventure of sorts. If the outdoors relaxes and inspires you, try to spend some time there every day...perhaps for a walk or to visit a nature center. Some of our best ideas come while our mind is not involved in thinking about our problems. Start evaluating who you are and what interest you, what direction you might like to explore. Once you feel comfortable with that, move on to searching for employment options within those parameters. Begin putting together a resume that emphasizes your talents and experience, and researching companies where you might use them. These steps will help you regain a sense of power over your life. Begin your search for a new job with your new outlook on yourself and life. Good luck and all the best, Penny Conlan --- Realpassion4life wrote: > Good Morning friends, > I know this is off topic so please allow this brief > interruption.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2001 Report Share Posted August 2, 2001 HI Crow, I inadvertently erased the long wanting vs. allowing text. Could you please tell me how to get it from you again? Thanks much. Celeste On Wed, 01 Aug 2001 15:40:27 -0400 " Caroline Abreu " <nrgbalance writes: > Patti: > > This is a strong passage in your life, so I don't feel that it's off > topic > at all.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2001 Report Share Posted August 3, 2001 Dear Patti, I don't have much to add after reading all of the wonderful advice thus far. I can only tell you that I was once laid off and I know exactly what you mean about the wounded ego. I was already suffering from low self-esteem and being laid off was so devastating. They called me and another employee in at the end of the day and told us we were laid off and no need to return. I don't think there was a time I ever felt worse about myself. I felt so betrayed too. I totally sympathize with you. I cried and cried and wondered what I had done to deserve this and so forth. Ironically, the very next day, the company called me and told me there was a position open in another dept and they wanted to offer it to me. I was a little hesitant to accept but did anyhow. That was the best move I ever made! This job operated at a much more relaxed pace and I instantly bonded with all the people I worked with and we all became such good friends. I looked forward to going to work! I also didn't get sick nearly as often from all the stress. Since this, I try not to question the wisdom of the universe when things that *appear* bad seem to happen. I may not always understand why right away but I have just put faith in the fact that everything works out for the best and let it go at that. Well, hope some of this was helpful anyway!
