I’ve been at my current job for almost 6 years now. It was my first job out of college and I feel incredibly stagnent here. I was happy here for a long while but now, not so much. There’s really no room for growth and I need something where I can grow, excell and be challenged. I know there are bigger and better things out there for me, I just need the courage to seek out and persue them.

So I’m really really trying to stop worrying so much – especially about little things and things I have no control over. I’ve been really good the past 2 days at work. I’m not letting myself get aggriveated or stressed easily and I’ve been a lot calmer and happier because of this. I’m also going to try and close my eyes and meditate a bit each night to help with this. It’s going to be a slow and difficult process for me but one that I really hope to keep up because it makes me feel better and it’s also better for my health and frame of mind. :)
So I had a huge heart to heart with the bf about my issues. He knows where I’m coming from b/c he’s been working through the same types of things. It’s still so hard though, b/c it’s a constant struggle that I have – to not care, to not be so self-critical and to just learn to go with the flow and enjoy life. I think the talk helped, but I know that it’s a constant battle to keep going and do better for myself and my own happiness.
