Hi Anita,
Hope all is well.
I am still perservering with things on the work front and have a trip to the US next week which I am not overly looking forward too.
We have some holidays booked which is something to look forward too but I still feel like I need to find purpose again on the work front and something I feel like I enjoy which doesn’t stress me out as much.
My confidence has drained a lot in my current role and it’s made me question what i am good at and what I enjoy and that is what I need to work on and discover again. I turn 40 next year which is also playing on my mind as I feel like a career change or pivot now makes me almost a failure, as naturally you find yourself comparing yourself to others. I mean right now, I feel I would be happier if i was working in a coffee shop rather than my current role but longer term I know that won’t be sustainable.
I continue to read, exercise, and practice gratitude daily all of which I believe are helping me as is writing here on this forum so thanks for checking in.
Tom
