What makes you nervous?

Nothing sends me into an anxious downward spiral quite like not knowing what my next move is going to be.

I’m dealing with uncertainty a lot right now, being on the job hunt once again. For the past two years, while I haven’t always loved my job, the consistency of knowing that every two weeks I’d have a check coming in kept me right where I was.

Now that I’m looking for something new, I’m faced with the possibility that I might have a period where I don’t know where my money is going to come from and that is absolutely terrifying to me. Especially now that I’ve got big girl bills to pay.

I’ve got plenty of time to find a new job before I totally run out of money, thankfully. But I’m going to be an anxious mess until I know for sure I’ve got something lined up.
