Love yourself my g.
My love for the Warriors is the reason I’m working for the Warriors in the first place, part-time.
- good sleep
- regular exercise
- healthy food
everything else becomes easier to manage (day to day)
Hyperarousal- slow down, focus on my breath
Hypoarousal//freeze //withdraw - Stay active/engaged
Long-term- increasing our window of tolerance, the wider the window of tolerance, the better I’ll be able to manage my stress.
I decide on my availability.
It’s one of the coolest jobs I’ve had so far in my young adult life.
Canvasser for HipHopforChange (Oakland, Non-profit) 1 day
They helped me gain more confidence to believe in myself that I was employable.
Whole Foods Dishwasher (4 months- pandemic stopped me// #StayHome)
Most rewarding job, a hard-working task, felt very essential to my team.
GSW Guest Experience Representative- Event experience/ customer experience
I get paid to help fans, and most nights get to see them enjoy their night, as they watch basketball; a helluva entertainment spectacle.
Nordstrom Warehouse Associate (Could no longer accommodate me, lead to me resigning)
Census Enumerator-1 shift, one 40 hour work week training on iPhone, one of the youngest adults at training, challenging being by yourself, going door to door, and pushing people to complete a task on the spot)
Canceling job interviews because I don’t have the experience.
Canceling zooms because I don’t want to sell insurance.
Frustration that my digital marketing nanodegree didn’t get me recruited for entry-level marketing positions.
Maybe, I'm trash and not good enough. And I won’t ever get paid.
I’m completely deflated looking for jobs on LinkedIn, Indeed, and Craigslist.
I don’t have any passion for it either.//
yoooo, what am i going to do with a media production degree?
shit, i don’t even know…
What did I do with my degree?
Hang that diploma up, man. At my parents’ crib. :’)
That’s work I put in. fr.
no longer clinically depressed but still depressed
I desire to no longer work on my feet but work remotely.
I desire to be on vacation forever from work.
I desire to work remotely by May 2025, for at least 60k or more a year, doing something I like.
I am an At Home Digital Content Producer. //
(aka YouTuber, content creator; and remote.)
Other than my unsuccessful job applications for a salary position, I have also found dating apps unsuccessful :’( haha
Watching hours of YouTube Premium isn’t that productive.
I think marketing is too political, I have to advocate for a corporation/brand?! Is that it? Nah
I’ll rather work as an administrative assistant, scheduling meetings and managing documents, and answer inquiries, etc. But, tbh, there are too many prerequisites for that now…
I think businesses going with contactless ordering is the wrong move, it reduces human interaction and human connection.
I think management should not incentivize their team (restaurant servers) to be salespeople; just for some skrilla ($500 cash to top servers), to advertise their promotions.
if you really loved your community, you would volunteer, huh.
hold on, i’m a pretty dope person too, right?
I desire to be respected by everyone and seen as an important person.
professional life n personal life shouldn’t dictate my happiness
“when you approach work situations mindfully, with an eye toward contributing to others while honoring your personal identity, you’ll find opportunities to practice the skills that help you find the intrinsic value in your work.”
somewhat true, somewhat not that important to me.
Have I given my best yet?
Personally- myself, family, community, dating
Professionally- vocation
Long-term performance (results):
How do I give my best every day?
It’s 30 minutes after my scheduled meeting time for the digital marketing assistant position, and it’s a no-show.
To think, I envisioned working Monday-Thursday remotely for this company, making $28 dollars per hour, for 6 months.
To think, I envisioned myself in the office on Friday, 1 per week.
To think, I opened up all my digital marketing stickies to be stood up for an interview I scheduled with Ultimate Staffing.
I filled up my hydroflask, for this?!
I have canceled a lot of things this month
- zoom meeting to inquire about becoming a farmer’s insurance agent
- traction producer interview because I feel I’m not qualified
- shifts because I’ll rather invest my time elsewhere
I feel I won’t be proud of myself professionally until I’ll land a salary job of 60k or more a year.
It’s eating me up. It’s eating up my ego as well. did i fall off?
Am I good enough to make a salary? Am I doomed to work for pennies?
Regardless, I’ll exude an aura of confidence and resilience.
… why smoke, I'm already a very introverted, introspective person.
