Shift in Values
In my quest for answers, I turned inward, embracing my own authenticity. This revealed a tough truth: my well-being was intricately tied to my values, the company I kept, and my contributions to relationships and organizations that lacked concern for my welfare. It was a call to trust myself.
The Toll of Stress
The realization that stress was exacerbating my health issues was both shocking and undeniable. My rigorous work schedule, coupled with the pressure to meet unrealistic expectations, was depleting my energy and affecting my ability to be present for my loved ones. It was a lonely, harrowing experience that pushed me to the brink.
Embracing Change
After listening to what my body was telling me I made the bold decision to quit my job, trusting in my partner at the time for support. It became apparent I wasn’t going to find a new job that would fulfill me or heal my health concerns until I put faith in myself and quit. Only then would I get a new opportunity and come out on the other end of this health crisis. This leap of faith was not just about financial stability but about reclaiming my health and peace of mind. The transition wasn’t easy but it led to a new job that offered balance and a path to recovery.
