Let me first start off by saying that I am grateful. I believe everything is energy, I know that I am abundant in all that I do and my words will never return void. So often we do not give gratitude for all of the things that we have. I live an abundant life. In fact, having boundaries is saving my life in this very moment. Boundaries transmutes stress into sanctuary for me. During this season of my life I am constantly taking inventory and assessing what brings me joy and what exactly is counterproductive to having unlimited supplies of joy.
The question of : What/Who/Where ? Generated a journal prompt. I titled it...
"Eliminating Stress Coma Am I The Problem ?"
My thoughts in agreement with verbal affirmation.
"Turn your corporate job into a side hustle allowing your 1099 clients be your main source of income". The Ruling : a verdict of Convinced is in agreement within my soul. With assurance and the upmost certainty, what I know for sure is...I only have control over me. I do not have control over others. Workplaces and spaces at large are very toxic, unorganized, unhealed and at scale delusional. The daily and hourly chaos of this type of co-working is encouraging a pivot.
"Different face, same place" environments have become the new normal. The effects is impactful to ALL generations and career industries. The energy infiltrates. From fast food employees to the corporate suite employees, people have become more toxic than they've ever been. It's nothing you can do about these people but there is something you can do about how you respond.
Pause...Close your eyes...Take a deep breathe before you continue reading.
The moment you discover that a job, person or energy has a higher stress threshold than you can stand, in that very moment you have to make a decision about your reality and what are your options.
How Long Can You Function In Toxicity?
As you mature, your vision shifts. You begin to facilitate outcomes favorable to your bottom line. How long can you function in toxicity is up to you totally. Personally after making sacrifices, suffering in silence and having to figure out the majority of life on my own, I decided that what I was going to do was make the best decisions for the quality of life that I will live. I have since decided that whatever bridge needed to be burned or disconnected, it's no doubt full stop for me. Could I turn back? Yes... but if I did that , I would turn to salt Eye wink.
Strategy that encompasses freedom. Be ready, then do it.
To be continued...
