If you're an old friend, then thanks for stopping by again and welcome to the relaunch of Recycle of Life. There are some new good things coming your way!
Recently I've made some big, life changing decisions which lead me to this relaunch of both my blog and Etsy shop (still a work in progress). I up and quit what was for a while my dream job and moved out of the big city of Toronto without any official plans of what to do next.
While I enjoyed Toronto, I couldn't ignore the part of me that strongly desired to get the hell out of it. Toronto felt fast paced, noisy and crowded after several years - all of which distracted me from the life I desired most to live.
As it is, I've moved back to my small hometown in order to slow life down and focus for a while on the things that are most important to me. This includes visiting with my family and friends, spending more time in wide open spaces, drinking more tea and creating more art.
If I'm honest with you though, it's a little terrifying to be unemployed. There's some negative assumptions that can be made if you tell someone you're unemployed by choice - not to mention, the financial instability.
I know that financially I'm okay (for a while, anyways) however I can't seem to avoid the odd anxiety ridden thought which reminds me that I left a perfectly good job and financially secure position to move back home with no real plans. I mean, adults are supposed to have full time jobs and be starting their careers at my age, right?
Society has set these standards and I believe that choosing a different path does not mean you will be any less successful or happy in life.
As for my fear of being unemployed, I am aware that this stems from my basic survival instincts - part of my mind worries that I won't have enough. I'm working hard at controlling this fear and have been constantly reminding myself that I've always been taken care of in the past (even when I'd hit rock bottom of my 25 years) and will continue to be taken care of throughout my life. Things always have a way of working out. There are lessons to be learned in every experience.
I'm working at reminding myself that my gifts are valuable and there is a plan for them. I'm working on finding these gifts, developing them and then finding ways to share them with the world. I'm working on trusting in the process and timing in life.
It's okay to be different than society demands.
Great things take time, effort and practice.
You are enough. You have enough.
I believe in you and your souls purpose.
Cheers to new beginnings!
