Day 97 of 2021-Hang in there

 Good Morning Friends! How are you feeling today? I feel really good this morning. I do tend to forget how good it feels when I go to the gym and its been 2 consecutive day so I am feeling energized. 

The weather is going to be really nice so I am hoping to go for a walk. My new job has been so overwhelming and I have to work this weekend as well. Not looking forward to it but the learning curve is steep and its a tough climb.

I have been wanting to quit this job already and its not even been a month. Just from everything that is going on with deliverables on the job, there are long hours ahead and not much of work life balance. The scale is really tilting to all work and that is making me feel like quitting.

Like the weather, I am hoping that things will slow down at some point and there will be peaks and valleys. Right now, its non stop go and being new just adds another element of stress since I have to learn everything and I have not had exposure to these particular skills before so I am really starting from ground zero.

I am trying to be optimistic but it is hard. The way I am talking to myself is so important. I can only hope that things will get better and for now I plan on just doing my best and hanging in there for at least 6 months to see how it plays out. 

So if you are in the similar situation and finding your work scale all the way to the top and your life scale all the way in the bottom, my suggestion is to hang in there for now and find a way to balance the scale. That means taking a step back and really looking at the situation. Ask yourself if the way things are going are temporary or more permanent and if go from there. 

If it is just temporary then you can find a way to hang in there as you balance work. If its just non stop and you find your home life totally out of balance, then evaluate if that is what you want. 

Its so hard right? I have young kids and so for me finding that balance is so important. Working long hours during the week and on the weekends, just will not cut it for me long term. 

Know what important to you and go from there. 

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace,

Monita
