Happy Hump day you all. Couple more days to go to the end of the week. Next week is spring break so I know my kids are extremely excited.
My thought of today is just like I can't control or change the weather, I can't change my decision for leaving my old job.
Have you ever left a job and a week into your new job realized that you should not have quit. Well, I have been having that regret feeling the past few days. Its been hard to accept that for now, I can't go back to my old job but I can accept that this job is not going to be forever either.
My old job was comfortable, very comfortable. I took a risk to leave it and now I am having a sense of regret. One way to deal with the feeling is to just sit with it. I need to sit with the feeling and hopefully will figure out what it is about my job new that is causing the regret.
The why is important. If you ever regretted leaving a job, understanding and sitting with your feeling is important. Ask yourself if you can do anything about it but before you go there, sit with the uncomfortable feeling.
Its hard to feel this way. I know we all have all kinds of regrets. I do have many in other areas of my life, but I truly regret leaving my old job. Ouch!
I truly want my old job back!! I feel like calling my boss and asking him to please take me back. This is huge for me!! I have never felt this way and when I was at my old job, I really wanted to leave. Oh what a predicament indeed.
So where does one go from here. Well for starters, if you are in the same boat or felt the same way I do, then just be aware of what you are feeling. Allow every feeling to come up and just be with it. It can be hard and you have to really control myself from taking any action.
Note the feeling that are coming up and see if you can understand why you are feeling this way. You may not be able to figure this out right away but that is okay. Journaling about it definitely helps as well. It may provide some insight on your feelings.
If you can figure out the why, then you can decide what you want to do about it next. It maybe you live with the regret for now and give the new job a chance or you may take another decision.
Don't stress over the regret. Its a feeling and a hard one to feel but I will write more about regrets later. This is more about what you can now to help you deal with it.
So be aware, accept it, let it be, don't stress over it too much and figure out your why. Once you have your why you can go from there and decide what course of action you want to take. Don't rush through it, and really understand why you feel that regret.
Hang in there. Things will get better.
Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!
Peace,
Monita
