UPDATE | I QUIT MY JOB (without having another job) 😬😭🥳

i think of myself as someone who is oh is that a car is it going to come this way come on man don't do it man hey y'all it's timdy so i am back in the middle of nature to go ahead and give you all an update on quitting my job so i quit my job march 31st so it's been just under six weeks it's been a journey as you can imagine and if you've quit your job recently or you've ever kind of quit a job without having another job you probably know exactly what i'm talking about so there are about six or seven or so things i kind of want to touch on in this video but before we get into it go ahead and give this video a thumbs up subscribe if you have not already drop me a note in the comments let me know what's going on with you so i can give you some love and yeah let's go ahead and get into the video when i put out the video about leaving my job i knew it would be a successful video i suspected that but it did surprise me just how quickly it got views and how many people in the comments were just sharing how they were in jobs they did not like really misaligned for them where they were not treated with respect they were not using their skills and where they were just too scared to leave or they had left and now they were on the other side of that and it's just so interesting to me how many people are in the exact same space that you are so many people can relate to doing work they don't want to do to not listening to themselves and being honest when they feel in their heart and in their spirit that it's not the right fit for them staying in the job anyway and then eventually finally realizing actually i do deserve more and i deserve better than this so in telling my story you know obviously it was specific to me but there were so many people who were like girl it's like you ripped a page out of my diary and you were telling my story that was really beautiful so if you're in a situation where you feel as if you're just isolated and alone in this terrible situation just know that you are not alone and there are many people who have been exactly where you are and have made the decision to actually change their situation that's what i love about youtube is that it allows you to find these people who are in a similar place as you and hopefully get that courage and encouragement to actually change your life i'm really blessed and honored that i'm able to do that with my youtube channel and with that video and hopefully with this video as well i'm here in costa rica and i booked this trip back when i was still working full-time as my vacation now that i'm here i'm realizing one vacation is the best thing ever and the fact that a lot of people one don't take vacation or they take a single vacation in a whole year so they have one week of rest and relaxation and then the rest of it is working full-time is absurd it is ridiculous and in this process of being out here i'm staying at this eco lodge it's a yoga retreat and i'm meeting so many amazing people who have so many different walks of life but it is pretty interesting how consistently they are on some kind of transition in their life and exploring breaking out of their old way of doing things and doing something new so i've met people who have worked on farms in costa rica and are teaching yoga here folks doing bike trips through latin america and are like yeah you can just get a job waiting tables in a foreign land it just seems so accessible to live a life different from that unusual nine to five that we're told is the only respectable way to live life and i'm actually coaching someone who wants to do something in this social media content creation space but has only known and had access to people who've only ever done that nine to five row and i've really encouraged stress that it's so important to actually spend time with the people who are living the kind of life you want to live because that mindset that they have is so different and that's the mindset you need if you're told by every single message from your family to your community to your church to your classmates to your friends to your tv shows to your movies every single thing is telling you there's only one way to live life and it's this way right here if you start doing something different of course your body and your mind is going to be like what are you doing why are you messing up our situation here we had it good we had it comfortable and you're messing stuff up so you have to be so intentional to break out of that by changing the people that you talk to people that you hang out with it's so critical and being here in costa rica and seeing these people and talking to them has just completely shifted my worldview and removing yourself from your physical location is huge too obviously i'm very blessed that i have the funds to do that but it's not as expensive as you might think my trip was less than 300 round-trip and just physically being somewhere else is such a great reminder that this world is huge it's huge and it's beautiful and so if you are in a space where you are unhappy with your life it's a big world and there are a lot of things you can do in a lot of places you can be and physically being somewhere else is such a visceral reminder of that and you know i love a good affirmation and when i'm doing my affirmations in like the ocean on a beach in costa rica and saying these things about things will work out for me and god is good and i can do all things through christ and then you're literally swimming in the waters of costa rica you're like this is true i am only here because i believe these things so if i keep believing these things and keep affirming these things to myself how much more richer and more beautiful is my life going to get hey y'all it's chimbd from the middle of the road and go ahead let me know in the comments what's going on with you have you recently quit your job are you thinking about it do you need some motivation you deserve to live a beautiful life you desire a beautiful profession you deserve co-workers and teammates and managers and employees who respect and recognize all of your worth and all of your talent that life and that work is waiting for you as soon as you decide that yes it is what you deserve let me know in the comments what's going on so i can just give you some encouragement about that truth and like the video if you have not already of course subscribe and let's get back to it i thought those first few days and weeks after quitting my job gonna just be so great and so happy and so carefree no the stress was real to go from having a life where sure you're not being satisfied and you're not living with your truth but you know what to expect every day there is a structure to it you know where your money's going to come from you know what people you're going to talk to you know what kind of work you're going to do there's really a whole chunk of your brain that can straight up go unconscious so to completely leave that behind and give yourself the grace to create something new is very scary it was for me i actually developed an eye twitch and it was pretty consistently related to when i would start thinking about wait a minute chimney how is this going to work how is this going to work when you don't have a job you're just out here living because it just seems insane right and what i found is that if i just brought myself back to the moment i was in to the now and realized in this moment as eckhart tolle would say do you have a problem and the answer was no i was chilling it just helps remind you that you are wasting your energy on things that are imaginary like on an imaginary future that's never going to come because we are only ever in the now and all that energy that you're putting all these bad things that could happen you could be keeping right here with you and using to create a whole new reality but i know a lot of people still have that fear and that's really tough it's what kept me in my job so i know it keeps a lot of people in jobs and situations that they know is not right for them anymore i've read a great book recently and it talked about how it all comes down to practice you've spent so much time practicing how to hit your job practicing how to betray yourself practicing how to put up with less practicing how to be disrespected so if you want to have a different kind of life living a life of joy and freedom and travel and success and abundance you have to put those things into practice so many people in the comments of my last video talked about how they knew that they were not in the space that they should be they knew they had the power and the creativity to be somewhere else and to be doing something else they knew that in their spirit and they still were not listening to that voice listening to yourself that takes practice too don't beat yourself up or shame yourself or guilt yourself because we're all somewhere in our journey it's fine the journey never ends that's what makes it fun if you look at other areas in your life where you're like i just know something is just not right here and think about a small way you can practice listening to that voice and then doing something about it it'll just grow the muscle will build it up to the point where we can do these bigger things and it won't even seem that big of a deal it'll still seem like a big deal but it won't seem like that big of a deal because you've trusted your spirit before and you saw how it worked out all right y'all i need to be in the shade this is too much hold on when i quit my job i was so proud of myself and it really felt like this major achievement what's been humbling is realizing that i still do have a ways to go i still do have limiting beliefs that are keeping me from truly getting to my next level here in costa rica i met so many awesome people and i was talking to one about like i quit my job and i vacillating between having this sense of knowing everything is going to work out and it's all going to be fine and i am divinely protected and life is abundant and that voice that's saying like but girl how are you going to pay the bills like what's your plan here and just wanting to go back to that fear lack mindset and she said that even sound like you as i was showing up from this place of joy and love and abundance and then i went from that to this other voice she was like yeah that wasn't you that was talking that was coming from somewhere else and that really resonated with me because so many of us have these voices in our head that we let sneak in and start talking to us and to be able to have people in your life who echo back at you like no that's not you that's talking that is not your true spirit all that doubt all that fear that's not your core it was so affirming for me and it was also so humbling because it made me realize oh okay i actually do still have a number of beliefs that i need to continue working through but it's great because i can be even more vigilant just really listen to what that inner voice is saying and if it is a negative thought especially i can hold and witness that fear that is in me and give it love and cover it and you know rock it to sleep a little bit and cradle it like one of my little babies because that's what it means to parent yourself and then i can go ahead and say it's okay i'm in charge now things will be all right one of the things that really motivated me to get out of my job was kobit and just that reality that at some point it will be my turn to be taken out not necessarily by coping but by something right so we really have to treasure and enjoy this life that we're given i think health is one of the things i was thinking about when i left my job with health insurance because i was like oh what happens if i get ill and one thing i'm really realizing the way you take care of yourself is to tell yourself the truth to live a life that is joyful to connect with people in a meaningful way to follow your passions to fight against your fears and that is what will keep you healthy and vital and strong and young your spirit and your heart is telling you what you should be doing and when you don't listen and your body has to step in and then the final thing i want to say is just how intentional you have to be about unhooking yourself from the social conditioning on healing collective trauma because so much of what we deal with come from our personal traumas that we have just held on to and not given light and love to and then on a national and international scale things like genocides and slavery even covet is another example of an international trauma that we have to reckon with and if we don't we just keep passing it on and our own life we see when we pass it on from day to day but we're still thinking about an argument from two weeks ago or we're still holding a grudge against someone from five years ago these are all the ways that by not addressing and healing the parts of us that are hurt we then have less and less energy and life force to actually be here and create a real future and he considers future not tomorrow because if you're still repeating the habits and the memories and experiences of the past you're not actually in the future so for him the future is your potential it's what you could be if you actually let go of all that stuff when i came across his work i was just like my mind was totally blown this was the first time that i saw someone doing work that i was like this work is the most important work this work is more important than anything else that i could be doing right now and even though i know that even though i just finished telling you about how you got to listen to yourself when you know stuff because i've spent so much of my time and energy and identity around this sort of media production work i am resistant to changing things and to actually putting myself in work that i think might be a lot more aligned to my mission and vision but what i'm doing is giving myself grace because that's all we can do knowing fully that everything is going to work out just continuing to listen and to pray because i know that if this truly is the right choice for me to like make this kind of shift then i'm gonna do it because it's what i'm supposed to do right with all of this that i'm saying like this is just kind of where i'm coming from i am also on my own journey still figuring it out but i know how helpful it is to share what you're going through and so i wanted to share it with you all and hopefully this provides some value and some comfort and i'm excited just to keep seeing what it looks like to keep listening to yourself to keep following your intuition it's a way of life that we aren't really taught to do we're taught to conform obey keep our feelings and our hopes and dreams quiet and small into ourselves and it's a very very different and intentional lifestyle to say no i'm gonna unhook from all of that so i'm giving myself grace if you're someone who is thinking about quitting or you've already quit i hope you similarly know to give yourself grace it's a lot of learning and unlearning that we have to do but we're gonna do it and we're gonna do it at our own pace and it is all going to be fine hope this has been helpful go ahead and give this video a thumbs up if it has subscribe to see more we'll see what locale i'm sending you this next video from i will see you all in the next video
