It is the season of life where I felt the holiday spirit is going to be over and reality kicks in. When reality kicks in, I can often be in a firefighting mode when things take an unexpected twist despite careful planning. Well, I do think that emotional wellness is really of importance. Often times, I do think that my personality is one where I would get so caught up in meeting the needs of people that I forget to take time off to think about the highly stressful build up of emotions in my work life. On a Sunday, I do think I could recollect and calm down by scrolling through news feed on how to prioritize mental wellness. It is not easy to say that I am not a superhero who can work miracles.
I do find that it is easier that I get a good boss to confide in with my greatest fears and struggles about firefighting at work and how to get out of this vicious cycle. And remaining calm and steadfast and professional is something I get used to after a decade of working. Still, there is a part of me that I find that I am human being and there is a limit to what I can do. This limit or personal weakness is something I am trying very hard to embrace. So, chilling out and lounging around writing about wanting more rest is actually something I realized I have been doing.
Wish all have a good boss to talk to when things get tough! True enough, that is a blessing enough as I shared previously that I did not have such a privilege in my previous work life. And it is a wondrous feeling to know that I have gained something wonderful even through all the trials and difficulties.
