Sunday Gems #7 Resetting: Easing back into work life

Published over 1 year agoΒ β€’Β 2 min read

Hello Reader

Happy October. Can you believe we only have three more months in 2022? What's your plan for October?


The more I try to get back into my usual bedtime, the harder it is to fall asleep. I know I'm probably making it worse by forcing it and escalating my anxiety. But I don't want to be a sleep-deprived zombie on my first week out, especially since I won't have the luxury of taking a nap. Then again, maybe I'll click back into my early night routine once work is part of my schedule again and I'm more tired from daily work life. Or maybe I'll find something new.

But to help ease me into my regular schedule, I'm going to make my evening as relaxing and stress-free as possible, especially this first week back at work.

πŸ€” It could also be uneasiness since come Monday, I'll no longer be working at my previously demanding position. I'll be back at my first ever post at the Credit Union: reception. Sometimes I feel a little guilty about requesting to change to a lower-level position like I'd failed a test or something. But then I remind myself that my mental and physical health is more vital than any position or job title.

"Remember today that you’d be OK if things suddenly went
wrong. Your actual needs are small. There is very little that
could happen that would truly threaten your survival. Think
about thatβ€”and adjust your worries and fears accordingly." - The Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday, September 29th
β€œStarting over can be challenging, but also it can be a great opportunity to do things differently.” – Catherine Pulsifer
β€œDon’t let your mind bully your body into believing it must carry the burden of its worries.” – Astrid Alauda

You can read all about it in my latest blog post here. While I've been away dealing with the chaos that life can be, I've come to some realisations. I have some abandonment and control issues Probably from poorly developed attachment style I need to learn to let go and accept the flow of life or I'll drive myself crazy and push my loved...

Hello Reader Sometimes I wonder if it is better to be less trusting of people and keep them at distance. If you're someone who sees the good in others, this is not a bad thing, in my opinion, but it can leave you wide open to schemes of untrustworthy people. Yet, being immediately distrusting of others can cause you to miss out on good relationships or opportunities. Finding a balance between trust too much or too little would be helpful. But, what causes us to trust people readily, even if...

Hello Reader Sometimes, when you have no idea what to write, it is best to start and let whatever words want to come flow out of you without overthinking things too much. Even though I feel much more inspired, motivated and creative, I still struggle to get the words out. Hmmm, not so much the words, but the content. What do I want to write about? What should I write about? Would you, my audience be interested in this topic or feel engaged listening to me rambling on about my life or creative...
