Today is my 608th day of doing Sally Squats. Basically squatting up and down to the Bring Sally Up song by Moby. My nephew introduced me to this weird form of torture about three years ago. I struggle with being consistent and in an effort to boost my assurance that I can do things consistently, I set out to do Sally Squats every day. I have successfully managed to do this for 608 days now and it is one small way I remind myself that I can be consistent at something when I choose to be.
Part of the reason I'm writing this blog is to help me stay consistent in looking for work and to give me focus and clarity on what I want to achieve. My favourite quote of all time is, "Never underestimate the inevitability of gradualness." I'm afraid I don’t know who to credit it to but I love it. It reminds me to stop and take stock periodically, to make sure I'm not heading in a direction I don't want to end up and it reminds me that little actions can have big results if you keep plodding away at them.
I am making sure I do something every day towards finding a new job. I have been sending out my CV and contacting people on LinkedIn and by email to see if I can find something interesting and suitable. I am plodding along and gradually, I hope to gain clarity on what I want and connections that help take me there. Some days it feels like a very slow process but I'm heading in the right direction and hopefully there won't be too many more days of Sally Squats before I end up with something but at least if it takes me ages, I'll be starting my new position with thighs of steal.
