Your new beginning

All will be well for you.

A new beginning made me anxious as I slept last Monday night.

I started my new full-time job last week. [I said goodbye to my Division Head position three weeks ago. Iba pang kuwento ‘yan.]

Hindi ako mapakali.

Ang daming pumasok sa isip ko.

Thoughts such as:

  • Baka masyadong strict sa oras ang client.

  • ‘Yung 8 hours ko ay mauubos lang sa isang client. May dalawa pa akong ibang hanap-buhay na part-time.

  • Paano na ‘yung ibang projects na gusto kong gawin, like revamping my website and the agency I am building with partners?

  • Baka hindi ko na magawa ang mga routines na na-establish ko na.

At marami pang ibang thoughts.

Lahat ng panaginip ko naging vivid tuloy.

Kaya sa isang gising ko last Monday night, I told myself, “Ann, I understand the anxiety. This is another new beginning for you.

I want you to know that I am excited for you. You have another opportunity to help another business grow. Hindi mo business, pero malay mo, ma-promote ka dito.

You got the job right after finishing your therapy isolation. Sino ang taong nakakakuha ng work agad pagkatapos magkasakit?

You’ll do Facebook ads. You know this. You got this.

This isn’t the first time you have had a full-time job working from home. You are better now.

God favors you. He won’t let you be in the company of bad people.

All will be well, Ann. New work, new adventure. Fighting!”

Then I slept again.

When the onboarding call came, my new client asked me how I was. I told her that I was both anxious and excited. She reassured me that although they are very keen on communication, they are very open to suggestions and requests. All I have to do is ASK.

I was relieved.

Sure, training sessions and slow transition to the new job will take place in the next weeks.

Yet I know all will be well.

You’re Exceptional,

P.S.: At dahil majority ng mga bata ay may pasok na, may ASSIGNMENT ako sa iyo. :)

  1. Remember a previous thought that consumed you - made you feel nervous, anxious, or doubtful.

  2. Write an empowering letter - yes, not a single sentence - to yourself.

  3. Post that letter somewhere you can see it. Yes, it’s not meant to be hidden. We sometimes forget how amazing we are eh.

  4. If you want, you may take a picture of the letter and send it to me.
