I started a new job before I resigned from my part-time position, resulting in me juggling 2 jobs. It’s not hard, but I am tired. I haven’t been following my diet, journaling, blogging, exercising, or reading the way I have been the past 2 weeks. Those are a lot of self-care options that have fallen by the wayside and I think it’s starting to take its toll on me.
I am taking some time to write out this entry just to get some relief and slowly integrate some of the self-care back. This was a long spaced out time between therapy meetings. A whole 2 weeks. It’s hard to think that some people don’t go to therapy at all and I struggle going more than 7 days without seeing my therapist.
Muffin and I also started couple’s therapy! It’s technically pre-marital counselling and we have used it to get closer and learn more about each other at a safe rate. We met in March, started dating in April, and got engaged in July. Things have moved at quite a fast pace but that won’t be healthy or conducive for longevity. I’m very proud that we recognise that and are taking the right steps to counter and prepare ourselves for all to come.
I want to talk a bit about training at my new job. As most training sessions are, it is a group environment. I do poorly in group settings. I also recognise that schools and workplaces are making an effort to be more inclusive of different learning types and it’s putting me at a disadvantage. I’m the type of learner that needs silence, instructional texts, quizzes, and tests. Team games and chats about Target versus Walmart distances me from the learning material and makes it more difficult for me to focus. I don’t want to say job, I want to say career. I’m trying to make a career with this company and I cannot afford to let my stubborn unwavering mindset stop me from learning and excelling at the position.
This post has taken a long time to write and even longer to publish, as I haven’t been motivated to do much. There is a lot happening and very little of that is self care. I mentioned earlier on in this post that it was starting to take its toll on me and now I can definitely say it is totally affecting me.
I will take some more time, before I publish this post, to outline what more I want to do with this blog.
- Fitness and health – I want to keep track of my eating and exercise habits.
- Career adjustment – I want to keep track of my progress in this position and ways I can improve and make my mark, especially via this virtual environment
- Wedding planning – I want to show the process of planning the wedding and all the steps we are taking to make everything come together
- Fashion – I want to continue to share the process of discovering my style and fashion sense. I hope to continue to share my subscription boxes and new wardrobe purchases
- Spirituality – I want to get some of my thoughts and progress on my spiritual journey out there.
Now that I only have one job, I want to incorporate more self care so that I’m not exhausted physically and mentally. I want to have the energy to maintain this blog. Spirituality may be a difficult one to keep up with as it’s very personal. I’ll do my best to keep it very light.
It’s new day. I won’t make excuses or wait. I’ll start today with this post.
힘내요!
