Read More »When I felt like my only option for finding a job was to spend endless hours on Craigslist or Monster, I felt trapped, like I could see all my options and I wasn’t very enthused by them. But I when I decided to really put myself out there and offer to help, I felt liberated and a world of possibilities opened up that didn’t seem to be there before. I wanted to work with kids, so I sent a message to a new business called Luma Yoga & Family Center. I told them I was passionate about mindfulness, social emotional learning, and supporting new families, and that I was new in town and had time to help out. I came as a volunteer the 1st week, and they offered me a job the next week. I worked there, and loved it, for years. I wanted to be learn more about local food systems, so I sent a message to a bunch of local, organic farms offering to lend a hand. When they didn’t respond, I went to the farm stand to shake hands with somebody. At Everett Family Farm, I met the farm manager, who has been my boss off and on for years, and more importantly, one of my best friends since I moved here. Neither place was hiring when they hired me. I went after what I wanted, even though it didn’t seem available, and it turned out it was available. And the more I have practiced this and seen things work out better than I could have hoped, the more I adopt this general mindset of possibility and lose my fear of offering to help in a way that hasn’t been specified. It’s been incredibly effective for me in crafting positive outcomes, and it turns out, I am not alone.

When in pessimism, we may think, “I will never get a job I love,” “It’s affecting my entire life,” and “There’s nothing else I can do. Oh well.” A person in optimism, on the other hand, might think, “It’s frustrating to not have a job yet, but I have many blessings in life and this won’t last forever,” and, furthermore, realize they have power: “I can ask them if they need any extra volunteer help, even once a week. And if not, I will keep trying with other orgs.” One is a brick wall; the other, a door. Knowing there are possibilities even when you can’t see them. And this fearless offering often leads to a very real expanding of the options. Similarly, check out these how I developed a more optimistic mindset before surgery. Cultivating optimistic thought patterns is really amazing. And what’s even more amazing, as discussed above, is that your pre surgery optimism may even lead to a better recovery.
