    Hi Anita,

    The presentation was yesterday and went ok I think. I did my best and that is the main thing.

    Still want to try and find something i enjoy more but the 6 month notice period does concern me. I am hoping to have a relaxing weekend where I can think.

    Thanks

    Hi Anita,

    Appreciate the reply as always, I am ok with putting the presentation together. It’s more delivering it to a large group. I always get very nervous etc and worry about it until it’s done. Thanks

    Hi Anita,

    Hope you have a good weekend!

    I have a bit of the Sunday blues today. I found out late last week i will needed to do a big presentation on Tuesday to 100+ people.

    Public speaking to a crowd like that isn’t something I generally enjoy and I do feel a little anxious about it. I will try and prepare the best I can for it tomorrow and just do my best.

    Hi Anita,

    I hope you had a good weekend.

    I had a good weekend celebrating my partners birthday this weekend and have been back to work today.

    I think I will consider a life/career coach of some sort as talking about this more freely will likely help me. I will continue with my gratitude, exercise and calm app to try and manage through this period the best I can while I figure things out longer term.

    Hi Anita,

    Thanks for the reply and words, it’s much appreciated. It’s my partners bday this weekend so I will stay positive for that but once that is out the way I think I will try and sit down with her and tell her how I have really been feeling as I don’t want it to impact our relationship in anyway.

    I think I will also consider a career coach of some description so will begin to look into this.

    Thanks

    Hi Anita,

    I am continuing with my gratitude morning and night and use of my calm app.
    While all of this is helping, I am still getting feelings of anxiety and overwhelm regarding work, and it has impacted my sleep. I have a good job and good salary and that is hard to walk away from, I also feel a little lost in terms of I don’t know what to step into next.
    We have some savings but don’t want to use those and I also don’t want to feel like a failure by walking away. I do try and talk to my partner and friends but deep down I know I don’t tell them the whole story and how I have been trying to battle and cope through this tough period.

    Thanks as always

    Hi Anita,

    As always, thanks for the response.

    Outside of what I am doing, how else would you recommend I express the feelings?

    I have a couple of friends I exchange messages with and my partner knows to a point but probably not the full extent as I don’t want to be overly negative about things to her as she is also trying to practice gratitude and manifestation and being positive so conscious I shouldn’t lower her ‘vibe’. Thanks

    Hi Anita,

    Hope all is well.

    Settled back in at work now and while it’s going ok, deep down I do believe it may not be for me long term. It is well paid though so I guess the issue I have is walking away from that. The UK is very expensive currently and it’s not straight forward to find another job instantly.

    I am doing my journaling and gratitude every day and using the calm app and all of this is helping keep a good perspective on things.

    Happy New Year!

    I have been battling a flu for a few weeks and back to work tomorrow. The flu meant I didn’t prepare as much for my return to work as I would have liked but I am resting today and will go back tomorrow with an open mind.

    Thank you Anita,

    Yes, it continues to be challenging but we just try and stay calm and do what we can. Ultimately what I am realizing is that it’s just a job and it does not define me.

    Thank you Anita, yesterday was a challenging day at work with some issues coming up which were problematic and stressful. Some blame may come to me for them but it’s also the problem I have found since I started this role without any proper onboarding or process in place.

    A few months ago I think I would have struggled to deal with yesterday but I was able to just stay calm and do what I think I was best. I finished work and got home to see my partner and niece for a few hours and today feel better about things as I am doing my best and that is all I can do. Will keep writing here as helps to express it.

    Hi Anita,

    Still maintaining my gratitude and use of the calm app daily and I do believe it’s helping me massively.

    Will have some time off from Christmas Eve until Jan 2nd so that is the end goal in the back of my mind for now and then I will reset.

    Thanks Anita,

    Yes, balance is key and I will do my best to maintain that.

    I will keep up with the gratitude and continue to keep you posted on things.

    Thanks

    Hi Anita,

    Thanks for checking in.

    I am feeling better about things. While I still feel I need to settle more at work and am not enjoying it as such I have found a way to navigate it better through gratitude. I have been doing a gratitude journal every morning and night and these check-ins have helped with my perspective on everything.

    Long term, I still need to find a solution for the work situation but this has definitely helped me focus on what I have and how lucky I am and realize that this is just a job and does not define me.
