I have been there myself. I hit rock bottom when I had the flu, all the children had chicken pox. We were all sitting huddled and miserable in the living room, feeling sorry for ourselves. It was cold and I had just one 50p coin left for the meter. I thought to myself that I have to do something, and do it very soon or none of us will survive. Life looked so bleak, I didn't have a job, I didn't have any prospects, I was struggling as a single mum with three small children, there didn't seem to be anything I could do.
My mind was focused on what I couldn't do, or what I perceived I couldn't do. This was a step in the right direction, recognising that I was focusing on the wrong things.
I made a decision there and then to change just one thought. I changed the thought of not being able to get a job to that of being able to get a job.
I called my parents on the phone and they brought me a few more coins for the meter. We all recovered from our illnesses and the very next week I went out whilst the children were at school and got a job. I got the job of kitchen assistant at the school my children attended. I cooked and served the school dinners, washed up and started to rebuild my confidence.
Getting a job meant I had money, having money meant being able to feed and clothe the children. This of course was a huge boost to my confidence.
