Anyone else secretly counting the days until they can quit their job? I’m at that point where I know I need change but feel stuck on the how. What small moves did you make first that actually helped you feel less trapped?

I know exactly how you feel. What I’ve been doing lately is really buckling down in my free time. I made 3 separate resumes depending what type of job I’m applying for. I’ve applied to four jobs in the last couple months, interviewed for two and didn’t get called back for either. It’s very easy to get discouraged but I pray to God I’ll find the right fit soon! Hope your job hunt goes well!

I am on the constant search for a better job, the job I have know I wouldn't recommend to anyone. I am so tired of sending out resumes but I don't know if I can survive here much longer. Keep looking and I wish you the best

Saw my therapist this past Friday and he gave me a useful trick to build better behavior patterns. Whenever you have work to do but would rather nap or something, tell yourself 3 negative effects of the nap and 3 positive effects of doing the work. You might still take the nap, but if you can get in the habit of thinking of it negatively, you'll take less naps when you need to be doing other things.

Doesn't matter what the activities are. Could be working out vs eating more, could be socializing IRL vs wasting time in FB (lol)
