    Dear Tom:

    You’re welcome! It’s great to hear that you’re maintaining calm and doing what you can in the face of challenges. Realizing that it’s just a job and doesn’t define you is such a powerful insight. It can make a big difference in how you approach and manage work-related stress.

    Remembering that we are more than our jobs allows us to focus on what truly matters and find balance in other areas of our lives. Keep up the great attitude, and take time to appreciate the things that bring you contentment and fulfillment outside of work.

    Take care, and wishing you all the best!

    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.

    Dear Tom:

    Happy New Year! 🎉

    I’m sorry to read that you’ve been battling the flu—I hope you’re feeling much better very soon. It’s good that you’re taking today to rest before heading back to work. Just take it one step at a time, and I hope the new year brings you better days ahead!

    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.

    Dear Tom:

    Thanks for asking! I’m doing well, and I hope you are too.

    I’m glad to hear you’ve settled back in at work. It’s great that you’re using journaling, gratitude, and the Calm app to maintain a positive perspective.

    You’re in a difficult position, weighing the financial benefits of the job against your long-term happiness and well-being. It’s understandable to have mixed feelings about staying in a role that doesn’t feel like the right fit for you in the long run.

    I think that it’d be beneficial to give more space to your feelings of discontent at work, meaning, to express these feelings, rather than suppress them: this can help prevent these feelings from building up and becoming overwhelming over time. Whether it’s through talking with a trusted friend, therapist, and/ or continuing to journal here, on your thread or elsewhere, continuing to express your feelings and thoughts on the matter can provide relief and clarity.

    Your well-being is incredibly important, and finding healthy ways to express your feelings can make a significant difference.

    Take care, anita
