I Quit!

I did it. I finally did it. After 3 years of being unhappy with my job I finally quit to pursue my own firm. It's been an emotional couple weeks- I really threw it all into high gear- but I finally got up the nerve to do it and, to top it off, I have not pulled my eyelashes despite the stress of it all. Ok, I admit that I have been having a little more trouble with my eyebrows but its not out of control. Considering how hard it can be not to pull during stressful times I am pretty proud of myself and again, attribute a lot of the success to just keeping my hands busy. It sounds silly but it works, I just find something to do and spend very little time in front of the mirror.

As for the job, I'm not sure what the future brings. Giving up a paycheck isnt easy but the signs have all been there and this has been a year of change for me (and self-improvement) so this is just the next big step. I'm excited to see what can happen. I have managed to control my eyelash pulling trich, which had control over me for 22 years, so I think anything can be possible. Yes, i still need to work on my battle with the eyelashes but I'm trying to cut myself a little slack and be grateful for the progress I've made. I'm hoping that I also just eliminated a big stressor from my life by quitting my job, or at least a big source of unhappiness. Oh, and did I mention I also havent smoked in 3 months? :)
