Finding my dream job in a pandemic.

My first week in Brussels has come to an end and I have a lot of thoughts going round in my head that I want to share with you.

Firstly, to give you a bit of context, I have just moved to Brussels to start my dream job. When I say dream job, I don't mean that I have always had this job in mind , but rather that I've never had any idea what I want to do with my life other than I want to travel and working for the EU would be pretty cool. My final year at uni was quite a difficult one as I had always imagined by that stage I would have a clear idea of what career path I wanted but that wasn't the case. What I decided to do was not to focus on the fear of not knowing what comes next, but rather to put all my focus into my degree and trust that what was meant for me in the future would find it's wa

y to me. Each day I wrote in my gratitude journal "thank you universe for revealing to me what my purpose is" or "thank you universe for presenting me with my dream job".

When it comes to manifesting, it's important to trust and let go. Believe that what you desire will come your way when it is meant to and forget about the rest. When we focus on the "how", that is when doubt creeps in and blocks us from receiving. So this is what I did and the job pretty much landed on my lap!

One evening the news was on the tv and I wasn't really watching but I happened to look up at one moment when a lady was being interviewed. I looked straight at the caption under her name "Northern Ireland Executive Office for the EU". I didn't even know this existed! While other times I would have just

thought "oh, I must look that up sometime" and then forget all about it, this time I took inspired action and did it straight away. Right there on the website, the first thing I saw, was a job opening. After clicking and reading the job description I knew this was calling out to me! Everything I would need to do in the job I had experience in from previous jobs.

Long story short: I applied, did the interview, got the job and now I have just finished my first week of work here in Brussels.

This whole process has taught me a lot a

bout learning to let go and trust in the universe. My start date was delayed quite a few times and there were moments when I thought maybe this isn't meant to be. The situation with Covid seemed to be getting worse and worse and I was feeling increasingly nervous about moving away from home by myself in the middle of it all. As Lockdown and restrictions were at their worst, I was terrified of being lonely and not being able to get out and meet people. I also had very little money when I got offered the job and had no idea how I would fund travel, rent and everything in between!

Keeping a positive mindset wasn't always easy, but thankfully I have good, supportive friends and family who were there to help me recall the knowledge I already have. Sometimes you already know the truth deep inside but you just need someone to pull it out of you. The truth is that what you think about you bring about. What you think, speak and feel are all creating your reality. Not every day will be a happy, positive one and some days it will take more work than others. But repeating the practice of affirming your desires and trusting in the process of life will make you stronger each time you do it

.

There were many times I had to stop myself from thinking doubtful, fearful and negative thoughts and tell myself "everything will work out the way it's meant to". And it did. Finally, my start date came through, I found a lovely apartment with two other girls which was within my budget. My travel went smoothly and I am now just finishing my 7 day quarantine. It all worked out the way it was meant to!

Take a moment to think today of something you really want. Are you trying to control it? Or are you releasing it to the universe, knowing that what is meant for you won't go by you?

Take a deep breath and affirm "I let go and trust that all my desires are manifesting in my life at the perfect time".
