Here's my story: I have always worked since I was fifteen, sometimes 2 jobs and once even 3 jobs. After traveling down a path of self-development, I decided I wanted to become a Hypnotherapist. I quit my job and took the Certification training. This was the first time I hadn't worked since I was a teenager. It felt very strange.
I decided I should get a part-time job until I built up my own practice. I never had trouble finding a job in my life. Jobs always seemed to find me. I tried for a few months, applying for many jobs that I was well-qualified for. No one hired me. At that point I was feeling pretty down and wondering what my problem was. I did some reflection and realized that I didn't want to work a part-time job, I just felt that I should. What I really wanted was to have a thriving hypnotherapy/reiki practice but I didn't feel confident in putting myself out there. So I decided to use all the energy I had put into searching for a part-time job into promoting my own practice. It worked!
Even better is that it was fun to put all my energy into what I wanted. It didn't feel like work. If I had gotten a part-time job, I never would've been able to dedicate so much time to building my practice.
The same thing goes for relationships. Some people don't want to let go of one until the next one arrives. But we often have to let go of what isn't working, what we don't want, to make space for what we do want to arrive. So perhaps you can think of this time as a clearing out time, making space in your life for things that will bring you more joy and contentment.
Right now you are in what is known as The Void. It's the place where everything is possible and yet nothing has materialized yet, so it can be scary and exciting at the same time. It's like you have stepped one foot off a ledge and can't see where it's going to land. It requires a lot of faith and trust in yourself and the ability to be in the moment.
Gratitude, as others mentioned, in addition to focusing on what you want and making steps toward your dreams will create a positive energy and draw to you the life you want. Good luck~
