I’ve committed the last 9 months to improving my overall wellness.
During this time, I took a summer “vacation” (doctors orders) for the first time since I was a teenager.
I quit coffee and reduced my caffeine intake by 75- 90% (depending on the day)
I pushed myself to be more active (still not a fan of that)
I actually rest now without guilt (ok maybe a little guilt still)
All of these changes have taught me one thing. My career makes me miserable. LOL
I hate my job. I’ve done it for 5 years because I can do it from home and it pays far too good. It’s been 9 years of insurance. 9 years of telling people the “pay to bullshit” ratio checks out…
I’ve met with 4 different companies and completed 6 interviews and absolutely cannot find another role that will pay even close to what I am currently making.
I’ve realized I must create it for myself. Thankfully with resting I’m starting to understand what my body actually likes to do.
I love to write. It’s embarrassing it took this long to realize that I have an excessive joy for writing. It will energize me when I start to write and have actually had problems falling asleep if I stay up too late writing LOL which is impressive considering I’m only drinking in 50mg of caffeine a day now.
I’ve really been enjoying editing my own writing on this blog- simply adjusting photos and optimizing things for SEO and searching better has caused a huge jump here which has been very inspiring!
I am hopeful I can create this space to be a opportunity to support myself.
