It's been over a week now since I cleared my desk, handed in my ID badge & switched off my week day alarms. How do I feel? seems to be the biggest question, that is regularly followed by "You are so brave"
How it feels
To be honest in some ways it feels much the same. Probably my mind still thinking its a holiday or time off. Sometimes it feels such a relief, a weight off my shoulders - which FYI was the result I was going for.
But sometimes it feels scary, for want of a better word! Since I left school to go to uni, I have worked. I've done a variety of jobs from a Specialist Dietitian to dressing up as a bear mascot at kids parties! So the scary bit is it kinda feels like I'm breaking the rules by not having a job.
I'm probably one of those people who was of the mindset
"You have to be in a job even if it makes you miserable - that's just life"
Now I'm not saying you don't have to work in life, but I am now realising that you don't 'have' to stay in a job, especially if it's affecting your health. We all have a choice how we live our lives.
New Beginnings
I'm not brave - but I am bucking a trend. I am making changes & that does require some courage.
But I just need to remind myself I don't need to accept things that get me down, I can change them or change me.
Have you made any big changes recently?
Ever left a job with nothing else immediately lined up?
