December is nearly over.

What have I accomplished in these past few months?!

I have managed to move into a lovely house, then break both arms, lose my job and find myself broke (in more ways than one), realise a lot about collaborations, get back into eye2spy collective, apply for residencies, get rejected, apply for jobs, get rejected.

2012 – YOU WILL BE MY YEAR.

I mean, I think I need to step up my game, but then what have I been doing this whole time? So many people I know are in the same boat. We are looking for jobs in what we want to do. Are we ever going to get them?

Rosalind Davis said on the live Q&A: Quiz the proffesional artists, that maybe I should just stick to a job that has nothing to do with art, so that I can then come home and focus on my art seperately.

I don’t want to.

I want a job that I want. And I want a job that I enjoy. And I want a job.

I don’t think we have to struggle and work hard to survive – why? Why can’t we get the job we dream of, live the life we dream of, be happy.

I’m going to try and prove that we can.

With, the new job experiment.

This is going to be an experiment in which I believe that I will have a job by the 9th Jan – a job that I want.

If you focus and visualise yourself in this new job of yours, happy and it being easy, maybe just maybe it will actually happen.

Follow the #newjobexperiment #9thjan on twitter to see how I’m getting on.

So far, I haven’t really visualised enough. But from today onwards it is going on my wish board and being written in my notebook and I am telling everyone that I will have a job on 9thjan.

We will see if the experiment works soon enough.

– Do you think I should be applying for jobs as well? I guess I better – it won’t magically happen…..?
