Did anyone switch to substitute teaching after burning out in another field?

I’m currently accruing hours in a helping profession, and the work is mentally demanding with low pay. There are also many undesirable changes happening within the industry which have contributed to my burnout.

There’s a decent demand for substitute teachers where I currently live, so I’ve been considering it as an alternative..

Has anyone here transitioned from another career or licensed profession into substitute teaching? I’m curious to hear about your experience and whether you’ve been happier with the change.

Thanks

Employment issues and volunteering to finish hours?

Hi all

I live in a saturated area and I’ve been struggling to find something for months. I’ve applied to part time, per diem and full time jobs but the job market has been so weird. For those of you who have struggled to find employment but still needed to accrue hours..what did you do?

I was considering getting a non clinical job and volunteering to get the remainder of my hours. Has anyone done this?

Thanks

What’s up with the job market in SoCal?

I know this is a social worker sub..but I’m an associate mft and I’m struggling w finding a position. I’m guessing it’s the job market plus how competitive and maybe saturated SoCal is?

I’m getting ghosted, rejected, told my resume looks great—interview will be confirmed and the next day they tell me position is already filled. Anyone else struggling in this region? Honestly can’t wait to get licensed and leave to a more lcol state…

Can you please share your experiences with Solomonic pentacles

Hi all

I’m considering purchasing my first one and I’m hoping for small or gradual changes that can improve circumstances mostly related to career and work performance (considering Jupiter or Mercury).

I browsed a couple of related threads on here but was hoping to find out more. If possible can you share which one you’ve created or purchased and what your experience was like?

Thanks

Can qigong help with burnout

Hi all 👋

I posted in trueqigong that I’ve been feeling depleted for years due to a combination of reasons..personal, career, etc. It’s gotten to the point where I’m barely dragging myself through life. Did a lot of things..medication, meditation, walks, therapy (probably could continue with this), reiki, hobbies etc. I still do almost daily meditation.

Someone mentioned that it sounds like I may be ungrounded in my lower energy centers (I might be messing up the wording). I think they may be onto something.

Has anyone done qigong to help them with this feeling of being drained and burned out?

I was also curious about people’s experience with qigong healers for blockage removals?

Side note: didn’t keep up with it but I was enjoying Lee Holdens qigong exercises for awhile. But I think I didn’t do it long enough—not enough to crawl out of my burnout so I stopped

Thank you

Can a qigong healer help if you’ve been feeling drained/burned out for years?

Hey all 👋

I’m not exactly sure why but I’ve been feeling wiped for years..maybe due to burnout and personal and career issues who knows. I eat decently, take walks, meditate, blood work is fine, done therapy, reiki, medication, engage in hobbies, psychedelics…tried what I could. I talked to someone the other day who said they felt some big shifts after working with a qigong practitioner.

Has anyone worked with a qigong practitioner to help rid them of the “drained” feeling? Or worked with them for mental/emotional purposes? I’ve forgotten what it feels like to feel fresh and to have a zest for life. Small disclosure but I haven’t been intimate in quite awhile—years lol—not sure if that also contributes

How does one find a good qigong healer near them? Does remote healing work fine too?

Thanks

Finding musician friends?

Hi all 👋

Kinda random but I want to find a friendship where I can sing various songs and the other person plays guitar (I’m also learning guitar). Are there any jam sessions in oc where I can find people who’d be into this kind of thing? Should I go to guitar center? Sometimes I see randoms hanging out in the store playing music. I’m in the south oc area, 38f

Tricks to stop “knowing” about things you don’t want to know

Hi all

Are there any strategies or techniques you use in order to prevent yourself from getting information you don’t want?

An example of this would be me not wanting to know when or how family members will die in the future (unless there’s something I can do about it like help them find the right doctor or treatment).

I suspect this is why some gifted people try to shut down completely—they don’t want to know certain things

Thank you

Recs for practitioner who helps to heal past lives that are affecting this one?

Hi all 👋

Does anyone have recommendations for practitioners who can help diagnose issues from past lives and then heal the karmic, negative pattern that may be affecting this one? Prefer if you’ve had a personal experience w them and if it made noticeable changes for you

Prefer that you suggest them here and not through dms

Thanks

Hey all

I see a lot of people complaining on Nf about it being dead or not making money. I know the people who have been around for a long time have built up regulars and are doing okay. Curious though for those who are new—are you doing decently on any of the phone platforms like nf or talktome? I’d rather do phones or text than anything else

I have social anxiety and really want to address it though volunteering and putting myself out there.

Trouble is I screw up small very basic tasks when performing for others. How do I get over this and go to volunteer events by myself?

Has anyone else benefited from doing this?

For those of you who try volunteering to help your sa how do you overcome performing tasks in front of others?

I’ve always been shit at performing the most basic of tasks in front of people and it’s what holds me back from volunteering.

Things like checking people in, setting up tables, folding clothes, giving directions, taking things down, etc etc. I kinda just suck at all the required tasks and I hate when people give me the “you’re an idiot” look.

Can anyone relate? I’ve tried to find friends to do it with but seems like everyone has a busy schedule

Hi all 👋

I was watching a gom YouTube channel and the speaker suggested that we do the protection rituals once we work with any book past words of power. Meaning once finish words of power and decide we wanna keep working with gom, we should work w their protection books.

Does this also go for trance magick or angel empowerment? If I wanted to do confidence/self esteem empowerment for example should I do protection rituals beforehand? Sorry I might not make 100% sense since I haven’t signed up for the Patreon yet.

Thank you
