From Fired Up to Freaked Out: Taming the First-Job Jitters

From Fired Up to Freaked Out: Taming the First-Job Jitters


The crispness of a new suit, the thrill of polished shoes – graduation day euphoria still lingered as I approached the imposing office building. My first real job with then Computer Associates. But then, a rogue thought snuck in: "Is this the right place for me?"

Suddenly, butterflies morphed into full-blown fear. What if I hated the work? What if I was a total flop? Worst-case scenarios flooded my mind: getting fired, unemployment, financial woes.

The Positive-to-Panic Plunge

That one thought had triggered a mental U-turn, derailing my initial excitement. We've all been there – one random thought spirals into a vortex of anxiety. The culprit? Our minds, often running on autopilot, feeding negative thoughts until they snowball.

The Power of Stopping the Spiral

But what if the moment that negative thought pops up, we simply let it go? Like flicking off a switch, we banish it and reclaim our positive mind space. Imagine the control!

Mastering Your Mind, Mastering Your Life

Eckhart Tolle offers powerful advice: stop complaining, in your head or out loud. Complaining is surrendering power. Instead, take action, speak up, or accept the situation. Anything else is mental chaos.

The Einstein Connection (and the Secret to Manifesting)

Einstein's genius wasn't just about intelligence. He reportedly used both sides of his brain: the logical left and the creative right. This powerful combination aligned his intentions perfectly, leading to breakthroughs in creativity, prosperity, and more.

Similarly, when we harness our whole brain, we can achieve a state of perfect mental alignment. This "sweet spot" unlocks the door to manifesting the things we truly desire. This happens in a matter of seconds if you want it to.

Learning to manifest this emotional intelligence, I grew to trust myself more and more. And you can too.
