Wow – I started this list in 2008 before I got laid off from my very first job out of college. Since then, I had a job that I hated (and got laid off again) and worked on a 6 month freelance project. Now after 10 months out of work, I landed a new position and am excited to be employed again and for the great possibilities it brings. :)

How I did it: I got married this summer and it's been a great experience. We're looking forward to starting a family in a couple of years after taking some more time for ourselves, travel and just enjoy being married. Read how I did it…
I’ve been at my current job for almost 6 years now. It was my first job out of college and I feel incredibly stagnent here. I was happy here for a long while but now, not so much. There’s really no room for growth and I need something where I can grow, excell and be challenged. I know there are bigger and better things out there for me, I just need the courage to seek out and persue them.
So I’m really really trying to stop worrying so much – especially about little things and things I have no control over. I’ve been really good the past 2 days at work. I’m not letting myself get aggriveated or stressed easily and I’ve been a lot calmer and happier because of this. I’m also going to try and close my eyes and meditate a bit each night to help with this. It’s going to be a slow and difficult process for me but one that I really hope to keep up because it makes me feel better and it’s also better for my health and frame of mind. :)
