Where we are free to talk about the hard, the fun, and the beautiful of our work week.
This week was filled with anxiousness. I couldn’t wait to get to lunch. I couldn’t wait to get home. I couldn’t wait to get to bed.
Maybe because Thanksgiving was soon to arrive. I’m still not sure, but it was a struggle.
It was sad.
I’m all about working in the moment, but this week I just felt like I was grasping and missing every time. Now that Thanksgiving has arrived I look back over the week and wonder why I struggled so much. Life really is a mental game. When we have the right attitude, feel good, and are surrounded by good people it makes things so much easier. The thing is we can’t always have all the right pieces in place to make things easy to enjoy.
That’s why we need to give thanks to the days where we struggle. It’s all a part of helping us grow into a more resilient person.

Dealing with negative emotions isn’t easy. This past week I made a couple of blunders that made me beat myself up. I guess the event didn’t make me. I made the choice to beat myself up.
I’m learning to just be with my emotions, instead of trying to force change.
Emotional intelligence is maybe the most important factor to achieving work happiness. The more we can develop our ability to interact with our emotions, the more we can enjoy work.

Where we are free to talk about the hard, the fun, and the beautiful of our work week.
This week has been uneventful. I realized that I kept trying to make it more exciting by creating more worry. I needed a little more drama to keep things interesting.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve been noticing this pattern lately. I’ve been feeling the need to spice up my life with larger emotions. Next week I’m going to try to focus on relaxing with what is going on. Because this is it. This is my life, and it can be a good thing or a bad thing, all depending on my perspective.
Ok, let’s begin…

Where we are free to talk about the hard, the fun, and the beautiful of our work week.
There are weeks that make you feel like you are skipping on clouds, then there are other weeks when those same clouds are smothering you.
Sometimes I feel like I’m treading along and not getting to the next level. I know that it’s just because I get locked in a worried cycle, but it’s just hard. You know what I’m talking about.
