feeling positive and cheerful today, so I just wanted to share with you.
I'm looking forward what is yet to come in my life, as I know now that I will be able to kick out all the ugly stuff at some point and replace it with something good.
the hurt feeling still lingers around....and that will take a while. But i stick around people and situations that do me good, and I feel a bit more safe now. ex ABF has gone quiet, and that makes me sad but also peaceful at the same time. Life is more quiet and 'in place' without him ...sor some reason..
I'm just facing the difficulty taht I find it hard to focus on my working life right now....i'm not quite motivated these days, i just feel like taking care of myself and doing good in private life! can anybody relate maybe?
so, have a good day everyone, I'm grateful for you all being on this board, it's great to be part of those growing journeys.
I am loving your positive feelings - it is so good to enjoy peace and good people in your life.
I can completely relate to the difficulty of focusing on work right now. I think that happens to me when I'm repairing myself and perhaps a bit tired but not recognising the fact that I need 'me time'. Its my old mantra of 'you can't give from an empty cup and, boy, do you want to give'.
When I'm working there are other people who have needs and a little voice inside tells me 'I've got nothing left to give you'. So if I'm struggling to do a task well then I 'fess up and say that I need timeout or an extra day or two to complete it. Because, actually, I do want to do my job well and with enthusiasm. I guess my work is another area in my life where I've been reluctant to say no in the past! The fact is that my colleagues usually accept my extended timeframe (to my surprise!) and that in itself is often enough to get me feeling cared for and more positive again. Even a 747 jet needs a little maintenance to get where its going
Thank you for this post, you've made me think a little more deeply about the balance of my working life. Have a good day (((((hugs)))))
