Affirmations

Ok everybody, I have a favor to ask.

I'm currently applying for summer jobs. Something has come up that I am reeeeaaaally interested in. I don't want to go into detail, but trust me, it's a pretty sweet gig. I am in the process of affirming to myself that I am qualified and will get the job, but it wouldn't hurt to have other people doing the same thing.

So here's what I need.

Just say this to yourself a couple times:

Alexis is well-qualified and will be hired.

That's all. You may be rather skeptical, but if I believe that there are other people out there rooting for me, it makes it that much easier to believe in myself.

In the meantime, I have stuff to do. I've been tweaking my resume and writing a cover letter all morning and I need to double check with some people that I can indeed use them as a reference. Lots of preparation, and the affirmations are part of that. As Julia Cameron says in The Artist's Way: pray to catch the bus, and then run like hell.

That's what I'm doing. Wish me luck.
