Hi Tom

I’m sorry to hear that you’re stressed in your new job. What do you think are the most stressful parts about it? You mentioned that the culture is different and there is pressure to deliver. Are there other things too?

Something that helped me to manage anxiety in a new job, since I was already stressing about stuff was to reflect briefly on the day when I got home.

I considered what went well, what didn’t go so well, things that I would do differently if the situation reoccurred.

I find taking notes in general helpful for learning what to do in a new role, that way if I don’t remember something I can check back.

Figuring out a strategy for how to deliver your objectives might be helpful too. Another thing I like to do is ask others for advice.

But yes, after reflecting it was important to move on with my day any time I found myself starting to worry, I would look at my journal and think to myself, I’m already doing my best to learn and figure things out, there isn’t anything else that I can do, so there is no point worrying about it.

Wishing you all the best! ❤️🙏
