A different approach

[admirablesloth]

So today, was okay. I didn’t do my best at work. I have a lot of pressure on me, and could feel myself getting to the point of obsessing over what could’ve been said about me when i’m not around, on how i’m not good enough and all the things our minds make up when we feel insecure..

BUT i tried a different approach again, by forcing myself to let it go. The thoughts linger, don’t they always? But i didn’t let myself become miserable as i would’ve and instead tried laughing about it. Even forced, it still somehow makes you feel better.

how was everyone else’s day??

That's awesome that you tried a different approach and pushed through. Work stress is difficult for me too!!

[admirablesloth in reply to Hikergirl87]

thanks so much ☺️ it can really be tough, especially since some of us are at work more than we’re home so it can be a battle

You're welcome! I sometimes feel like I live at work.

It wasn’t as bad. I faced a similar situation at work. I was recently promoted again after stepping down from a different spot. I obsessed about the difficulties for awhile but once I stopped and just did the work it somehow turned out okay.
