attention shifting

When I lived at my previous place of residence I had a small voice in the back of my mind telling me that if I just moved to a better place everything would be alright. I had the same shitty job back then as I currently have. Now that small voice in the back of my mind is telling me that if I just find a job to my liking everything will be just fine.

I find this kind of interesting. My mind prioritizing what is perceived to be most harmful to my well being and focusing in on that. In the best of worlds this would spur me on to take the most appropriate action in order for me to achieve my goals and improve my life situation but in truth this focus mostly gives me anxiety and leaves me with melancholy.

Say I find that job, what's next up to "fix"?
