This week's Wishcasting Wednesday prompt asks what we wish to let go.Well, today I most definitely need to let go feeling sorry for myself. My pride and optimism are dented after not getting the job I wanted and feeling trapped in one that seems to suck my creativity dry. There I go again see, moping and rejected...
Today I must pick myself up, dust myself down and raise my head high. I have work to do for which they are paying me a tidy sum. I may not like it, but it pays the bills. I have to keep going, but it's easy to allow thoughts to drift and focus on the negative - to allow grumpy pessimism in to my precious brain space.
Somehow I must dig out chirpy Lisa, optimistic Lisa, playful Lisa but all I think of is that newsletter I've re-written for the fourth time that still hasn't been signed off... for no reason other than they can't decide when to send it out, content is fine... but will be out of date again.... I'm tasting the bitterness of defeat and torturing myself with thoughts of someone else doing my dream job. Someone else waking up this morning delighted with their new role. Did they want it as much as I did?
Perhaps if I have a good old moan and let it all out then that will be done with it, then I can let it go? Shall I stuff a parrot with my grumblings then open the cage door and watch it fly?
OK, I've had enough of this now. It's making me feel worse... I promise to be back on form tomorrow. Just let me have this one day to mope.

ReplyDeleteHere's to optimism and play!
And here's to mope, becausse this must be sometimes!
Take care!
There are times for wallowing. I do enjoy a good one every now and then myself. It's funny how we can feel so disappointed over something that never happened. There must be a reason you are where you are. My grandmother would say there is something else out there waiting for you.

ReplyDeleteMay you find that perfect job!
As you wish for yourself I wish for you also. Have your day, but back to focusing on the good in your life tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteSometimes you just gotta....
ReplyDeletebut then you gotta let it all go and get back on!
As Lisa wishes for herself, so do I too wish for her with all my heart!

ReplyDeleteWish you get your dream job.
I'm feeling your pain, Lisa. I had a disappointing show and it's hard not to dwell in the negative thoughts and feelings. But they are my feelings.
ReplyDeleteFeel them, then feel better.
Being a sour puss isn't me.
And it isn't you either.
Like I tell myself: 'you aren't in heaven yet'
xox, Lisa
Lisa, being mopey and self-pitying is a good thing in small doses. Especially because I can see that you don't really like it much. Once you've had a good purge of your negativity, you can pick up your bootstraps and move on, toward the positive. Remember that The Universe is Perfect and On Time. Just because you didn't get THIS job, doesn't mean that something better isn't around the corner!
ReplyDeleteAs Lisa optomistically wishes for herself, so I wish for her too!
Can I sit with you while you live through your feelings? Let me stay here with you while you process through your disappointment? I hope you do.
ReplyDeleteYou have to feel sad for not getting what you want. You must. And so, let's have a cuppa and you can feel all you need.
For the five years we've lived here, I've not been offered any of the few jobs that have been right for me. Which has been very difficult. Very. As I always defined myself by my professional success. Although I have nothing to show for it since moving here.
But, enough about me...let's allow you your time to be just as you are. Tomorrow is soon enough to put the correct spin on things. And, as everyone has already said, Spirit always provides on time that which is perfectly suited.
As Lisa wishes for herself, so I lovingly and with intention wish for her also.
How much sugar shall I put in your cuppa?
May you find comfort in knowing that all things happen in their own time and when the time is right your dream job will appear! As you wish for yourself I so lovingly wish for you also!
ReplyDeleteAs Lisa wishes for herself, so I wish for her also. I agree with others, feeling the disappointment and being a little mopey is a natural process to working through it for me. Here is to your dream job which is right around the corner...
ReplyDeleteAs Lisa wishes for herself, so I wish for her also! Take a good deep sigh...scream loudly...play some dance music and shake your booty. Let out a big battle cry. Release that tension. Remember that you are right where you are suppose to be (even if it doesn't feel like it right now).

ReplyDeletebest wishes for your dream job!

ReplyDeleteMay the parrot take those grumblings and fly them away. May they escape into the skies and form big, bold, grumbling, mumbling, thunder clouds and burst into an outrageous, boisterous storm, drenching all the creative sprouts in your soul with nourishing, heart-full water.
You're a creative soul. You always have been. You always will be. I believe in you.
As Lisa wishes for herself, so I wish for her also.

ReplyDeleteThat job was just driftwood. The real job of your dreams is on its way. As Lisa wishes for herself, so I wish for her also!
ReplyDeleteMay you find the job of your dreams
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you are feeling low, hang in there try to remember that as one door closes another one opens.
ReplyDeleteAs Lisa wishes for herself, so do I wish for her also. Hang in there!!
ReplyDeleteLisa, that which you wish for, i wish for you also. hugs.
ReplyDeleteI can't tell you how much I understand what you're going through with your job. Although I've been in a similar place my husband recently went through the same feelings, the same dread day after day. I can tell you things changed for him when he began to look at his experience of 'working in hell' as a "what am I supposed to be learning from this". It changed everything for him. It was a struggle, that's for sure, but through the process his outlook changed, he gained a sense of compassion and even empathy for those who were making his life a misery everyday.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't long after this change in perspective that he found his dream job, no kidding. Now he drives by his old job everyday with a thankful heart.
I don't know if this is helpful at all but perhaps hearing it may spark a new line of thought for you, leading you to your own dream job which you SO deserve!! Keep the faith, you're worth it♥
As Lisa wishes for herself, so do I wish for her as well.
ReplyDeleteIf you didn't get the job, it is because there is something better out there for you. I certainly acknowledge that sometimes that it is a challenge to grasp, but it is true. The perfect job is searching for you with the same desire and optimism that you are searching for it! May your pathes cross quickly and in such a way that it makes you giggle with the recognition of your divine path!
