Career and Self:
As we navigate our personal career journeys, it's inevitable that we will encounter personal challenges that can stop us in our tracks and shake us to the bone. It doesn’t matter where we stumble on this journey as much as how it affects our ability to remain productive. We must still always earn a paycheck or be on a daily quest to secure an income.
In the past I never really intertwined my personal life with my work life, at least I didn’t think I did. For me, I think it was just that I didn’t connect the two consciously, but my personal struggles lately have made me aware that I may be unstable in one because of the other.
Community Feedback:
I have also been one who prefers to only reveal that “All is Well” to others. I’m beginning to realize this may be the probable reason I am having such difficulty pulling myself out enough to be able to climb back up. I can say with near certainty that maybe it has been a hinderance for me throughout my entire existence.
The problem being, I never receive feedback because I never put it out there to seek advice from the outside peering in. So today, I’m putting it out there in hopes of gaining a better understanding from the community. It may be the only way for me to see beyond my own mind-space.
Facing Uncertainty at a Crossroads:
This month I began the last year of my 50’s. I’m not even sure what that means. Only when I’m referring to someone else does that concept seem old. I’m not old.
Some may consider it a milestone, but it has been nearly two decades since I’ve recognized anything that has to do with my having an end. It’s as if I am a traveler grown weary from facing yet another Crossroads of Uncertainty. I am left grappling with profound questions about my identity, worth, and future. It's a juncture where financial, emotional, and physical strains converge, leaving me feeling adrift and unsure of what lies ahead.
Navigating the Turbulence of Relationships:
For the past four years, I’ve been in a relationship with a girl twenty-two years younger than I am. Last week, I made the decision to end it, recognizing the disparities in age and life experiences that weighed heavily on my conscience. The aftermath has left me feeling isolated, extremely lonely, and questioning my abilities to form meaningful connections.
Struggling with Self-Worth and Direction:
Alone now, I find myself sorting through these feelings of inadequacy and despair. Without a stable job or reliable transportation, the future feels daunting and questionable. The shame of my current circumstances weighs heavily on me, amplifying my sense of loneliness with a hovering stagnancy, which I have always done my best to run from.
Seeking Community Insight:
Am I the only one who sits in thought this way? Have you ever faced personal challenges that relate to your ability to remain secure in your career endeavors? How did you navigate through them? Your insights, support, and encouragement are invaluable to me and may provide a beacon of hope in this overcast moment.
Thank you for lending an ear, offering your thoughts, and being the supportive community I know you to be.
I work alot away from home, and would really like to learn to thrive working at home. Any help and advice is greatly appreciated. # #workfromhome # #jobsearch # #advice # #application # #interview #balance
Life and work must have balance in order for the person to be mentally balanced. Employers should be mindful of their intentions and mental health to be sure they are not projecting and generating heaviness they feel on employees, and it reflect back in productivity-performance and report.
An employer should desire to practice and present to employees the same motivation tactics they use or would use to help the employee be their best self on the job. reflecting in an understanding manner that the employer once was the employee.
The employee should consider to treat each day on a job like it is the first day. Remember the excitement and possibly nervousness to get started. Sometimes that feeling goes away because you the employee got complacent and grew bored. Each day set a target for what you like to achieve on the job by the end of the work shift.
Next inquire of other ways to enhance the position you are in or if cross training is possible. Take the initiative to ask your supervisor/lead/manager to give you a few minutes and ask of what you can improve to be better. Keep record of the conversation and set a follow up date to see if you have met your target improvement.
When the shift over, do not take work home. Meaning conversation or anyone attitude. Instead think of how you desire for home to be when you get there and generate that positivity in the atmosphere. Before doing anything take the first 15 minutes when reaching home and just sit in the car silently to free your mind. Take the next 15 minutes and shower. Wash off the days issues, attitudes and behaviors good and bad-be refreshed. Balance out the next hour to listen to your spouse and children and prepare food and eat. Do not let your phone have that hour. If you have a family coordinate team work to get things done in the house together so everyone is balanced and all can enjoy a good night sleep and be ready for another day.
Having balance in your life and work life is essential to having a balanced mentality and not feel like you going to be a grenade on the job. One pull of the pin and boom you explode and you take that home and the residue of the explosion particules loom and rest all over the job. #balance #life#work#mental stability#motivation#inspire
