lols! I know! This is my first time to write a blog and I am nervous but is also excited. English is not my first language and I'm aware ,my grammar is not always on point .Please be considerate. I am just here to write and express my feelings ,points of view or personal experience on certain things in my life that some of you might be experiencing or may have encountered in their lifetime too.
I am in my early 40's and I am currently working in the health care system and have been for 17 years. I will not give so much detail into what I actually do but I must say my job is very stressful. When I was younger it didn't bother me that much.But the last few years I have been really feeling the strain. I am not happy to go to work I feel like I have to drag myself going to work .The thought of working is killing me.I feel no fun, happiness,drive nor passion.It has solely become my bread and butter to make ends meet.
My mind keeps asking does it have to be this way? When will it change or does my feelings for work will get any better? What can I do? What can I change? Or is my job not fit for me anymore? I want to be happy again, have the drive and excitement going to work and just be happy at work. I think when you are happy you become more passionate and be more productive because you loved what you are doing.And I want to be that person again.I decided I have to get into something to help me de stress.
Almost 3 years ago, I started getting Fit by going to the gym. It was a slow start, and getting consistent to it is the hardest part. But I enjoyed it especially when I started losing weight and seeing the results of my hard work.I also feel the difference in my stamina.My body just got stronger even my mind is stronger.My moods were getting lighter and happier.
I fell in love with Makeup.I started playing with makeup and watched Youtube videos. It's something very new but very exciting and fun for me.I am very simple-a face powder and a lippy is always good enough for me.The whole experience of learning about makeup and buying them made me very happy.My stash has grown quite extensively in a short period.
And it is helping me.I have found it very comforting knowing that I can use and have fun with my make up while getting ready for work. It takes away the feeling of dragging myself. It somehow makes it a little bit easier.
Travel. I realised the importance of making time to travel. I really enjoyed travelling to new places I have never been together with my family, friends or my cousin/s here or abroad.I made sure to have fun and enjoyed my time away from work. I needed it. It's important to know your priorities when you travel .I didn't have so much money when I Travelled, but my priority is to see as many places as I can rather than buying or shopping.Document your memories. I don't know about you guys but I am very big into taking and editing pictures.I loved photography.I am not a professional but I just loved doing them for fun. Take pictures as much as you can, you can look at them at some point especially when you are not having a good day at work. Trust me it works.
Socialise.Go out with Friends.When you can't travel yet, in the meantime have lunch/dinner /tea with your closest friends on your days off. Not necessarily work friends.Only your closest most trusted friends. Enjoy your time catching up with them over delicious foods,drinks and a hearty chat.Good friends are gifts from the heavens, they light up your spirit!
Prayers. Praying has always been my Rock.It amazes me how prayers move mountains.It gives me strength I had no idea I had in me.Since I was in high school I've known about this prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Until now, that is my most favourite prayer. It comforts me in the most soothing way possible.I can't go to work without saying that prayer.
I know there may be lots of other ways to dealing with your stress and unhappiness at work.Please know that you are all welcome to share with me your tips.Thank you for your time reading,
I hope you enjoyed it and have a wonderful day.
