Hello Lovelies,
Work has been all over the place the past couple of days. I could hardly keep my days straight. The days go by so slowly, but not in that happy anticipation slowness. This is more like "Oh My God, was it just last Saturday that I got lost in Downtown Dubai, cause it feels like that was ages ago?"
Work definitely has the tendency to get chaotic, and I, disappointingly, have the tendency to let it affect me.
I suppose one of my, for lack of a better word, sins is that for the life of me I cannot seem to let things go. Well more so before than now, but still I used to obsess over every little thing.
I carried whatever baggage I had acquired at work that day, home with me. It effects what I choose to do after work, how I talk to my family and friends, and how I feel about myself.
Its not a happy place that much is obvious, but don't you sometimes get so sick of being unhappy?
And then you hear things like: "Don't let it get to you" and "You need to let things go." and "This only makes you stronger."
Fine.
All great advice.
Heard each and everyone of them myself.
Surprise, surprise, they did nothing for me.
You know what did? Time. I got used to the status quo. It becomes easier to let go with time. It becomes less important, and you become used to the problems and their solutions.
What also helped me was that I kept myself distracted. When something bugged me, I'd go to the gym and punch the grains out of a punching bag, or I'd find a really interesting book and immerse myself in a world of fiction, or I'd gather a bunch of my friends that always find a way to make me laugh.
It gets easier, not because things don't trouble you anymore, but because with time you do learn to not let things get to you, you do learn to let go, and you do become stronger...
Till next time my lovelies!
Keep on fighting!
xoxo,
F
