As you recently read I quit my job. I didn't just quit on a whim. There was a great deal of soul searching and turmoil as to what it really means to quit your job with no back up plan. This I have never done. Sure I've quit jobs before. My long time readers know this. I always had a plan for how I was going to take care of myself. This time I have no real plan. It's new ground for me and stepping off that train at a station I've never visited is both terrifying and incredibly freeing. I made the decision, but it wasn't without a great deal of support and love from my friends and family. So many of my friends really hated the time and energy that I gave to my job and have no problem saying it. The love of my life also began to dread the person I'd become when I was working. My stress level would rise and he said he could actually see me disconnect. One day I disconnected a little too much and the stress level at work was more than I could manage. I ended up in the hospital with the most intense stress induced migraine of my life which physically and mentally took me out of the game. I can't blame anyone for this, nor do I feel the need to point fingers or make anyone wrong. It's the perfect storm really. Had I not crashed I wouldn't have taken this very valuable step for myself. So that's the first gift. The second gift is that Paul fully supports what ever I decide I want to do.
The third gift, and trifecta of sorts is that the company I quit working for has given me the gift of some incredibly valuable personal development support. I admit that the idea of staying connected to my old company in this way left me a little uneasy, however I've decided that if I take it on from the right place could open my creativity up on a whole new level.
I signed up for an online writing course to get myself back into the swing of being creative. My writing course starts tomorrow. I have a therapy session tomorrow afternoon. I'm going to the gym at 4:30. All of these thing should make me feel like a million bucks. Stay tuned for exponential personal growth.
Thanks for being my reader!!
Love,
TK
