This is a blog idea I came up with whilst working 9-5 everyday in a job I didn't much enjoy, infact I hated it, it made me hate myself and my life. Everyday was a constant struggle in my mind trying to justify why I was here, wasting all these hours for nothing but paper....tokens, whatever you want to call it, law and society had a grip on my life and I felt out of control and depressed
- I think pretty much the majority of people out there will be able to relate with ,if not one then another of these feelings or situations ive stated above. Im like everyone else, there's nothing special with the work experience I had, I worked 5 months in a job I hated because I needed the money like all of us. But over time I devloped a coping strategy In my mind that got me through the majority of my full time 9-5 personal hell.
I call this coping strategy 'The plan' - what is it exactly? well its an idea, an idea that everyone and I mean EVERYONE should and Believe and above all try their best to live how they want to live. That is a complex and vast statement to make right? well yeh it is, its not always that easy for us to get up one day and start living how we want, in fact thats almost never possible.
The plan will not work if you have too many or few serious commitments, well it might, but it will not be able to work as well as it could.
The plan is looking at what you have and seeing what is the most progressive and beneficial way you can spend your time/money to get closer to how you want your life to be. I will use myself for an example, Like I said I hated my job and worked full time etc - First thing I noticed is all the people around me who would work hard just like me for the same money and week after week would just spend all of their money on going out on the town the night they got paid - this in itself is unprogressive, because they are finding themselfs working a week so they can go out and drink all their money away so they can do it all over again next week. spending your money on drink and going out is fine but if you spend it ALL on it then you have wasted your week's work on one night. I looked at this and thought it made no sence, the first thing I thought was 'if im going to have to be here 24/7 then im gunna get something life changing out of it' - not just one night of fun a weekend so I decided to save 100 pounds each week and I got 250 a week so I still had some spending money - my target was a grand to move out with (because I hated my town) - I wanted to move to london with my friend.
Last month I got told I'd have no more work as it was a temp position BUT I had made my 1000 goal I did not move to london as plana fell through with friends but I am now spending the money on traveling, Im going to barcelona next month and in july this year im going to Australia for 2 months. Whilst I am there I may get a job and move onto another country - this is my plan - However my plan is not yet complete because my plan has no ending, as I do not espire to settle down. -What do you think the people who I were working with at my old job are doing? probably still just using the money to go out and party too much every friday night - there making no progress and they do not have a plan, they are stuck in a cycle of reality but theres no reason why you should be
sure some of those people might be having to work because they have a family to support or a mortguage to pay and thats why I said previously that having no serious commitments is a good thing when practising the plan.
Im currently still in the middle of my plan But I will update this when needed about changes to my plan and updates demonstrating how It changes and adapts to my life.
