Lost My Job and Doubting Myself

[BonesMS]

Also just finished taking an interesting seminar on incorporating yoga and mindfulness into the mental health field.  I'm still reading through the material I got.

My Dear Bonesy-

I am glad that you figured out the schedule fluctuations at your new job- that can be a brain teaser! Hope you have a fun Thanksgiving. I love the idea of yoga uniting with Western mental health techniques. It seems so logical.

Love,

Changing

Me too, Bones.
It's really an interesting concept and I'd love to hear about how it's done.

I hope you're feeling peaceful.
How are things with BF?

I hear you on this one!  But........if you live in the city drive to the country to a lake
or a beautiful setting and enjoy creation.
Go and gather your thoughts and look through the paper.
I started my own wallpaper hanging business when I was
29 because my old boyfriend put me down.
I was very successful and I was very good at it.
It just takes practicing and watching a video.
It wasn't a lot of money but it was mine!
My company and my business.
I made from $600.00-1,000.00 a week and
that was in 1984.

There is a really cool company on the internet
where you can be a travel agent for $400.00 &
$20.00 a month for your website.
I just joined and I am giving business cards to everyone.

I want to encourage you to get out there and go for it.
Sometimes a door closes and a new window opens for the job of your
dreams.
I am so glad my boyfriend put me down.
I became my own boss and have had 4 of my own businesses
by the time I reached 53.
I got tired of the wallpaper, started an iced tea business
and I did very well.

The sky is the limit and if you look around in the papers
you may get an idea that is something you have always wanted
to do.

I only had $90.00 dollars when I started my iced tea business
and I made $200.00 the next day.
I sold tea to construction workers in the Texas heat
and it was very good.

I only had $50.00 when I started my wall paper hanging business.
Once I was pretty good at it I made fliers and went to builder
to builder's houses being built and found the super.

Anyway, that is my story and never give up.
There is always something around the corner.

One man I know was ready to end it and I met him
and my husband was looking for someone to help him
build commerical buildings.   He called my husband
and his life changed.

Let everyone know you are looking for a new
career.....................I am praying you will be very successful
and that surprise doors open for you as you go forward.

God Bless,

Thanks, Changing!

I've got the one week figured out.  The churches and department of social services are still juggling their parts so we have to wait until they get settled so we can do our part.

Thanks, Hops.

There's a lot of material to go through.  BF is being supportive and I'm trying to get him to take some time so I can show some of the material and concepts to him.  I want to practice what I've learned and he would make a nice guinea pig!

Hi Bonesey-

Sounds fun! Breathing, asanas, headstands, lotus posture- would be great if all psychologists hadtheir patients use yoga postures as  a part of their treatment!!!

The seminar also talked about the eight limbs of yoga of which the postures are one of the limbs.

Well, the first night of the homeless winter shelter begins tomorrow night and I'm a little nervous because, this year, I'll be wearing three "hats" including supervising social work students and teaching them how to write case notes.  Part of me knows I can do it and the "old tapes" are trying to start up again.

Thanks, Changing.

Last night went better than I expected as I had my boss and other colleagues help me in getting the beds set up and got some of the intakes done.  The only glitch that happened was that no interns showed up.  I think my boss will be checking into that to find out why.  I'm heading back tonight to pick up where I left off last night.
