Today is one of those days that you just NEED once in a while. A mental health day. I'm thinking about all the things in my life that I want to change, particularly, my job. Lately, it has become nothing but poison. The atmosphere at the company is one of corporate bullshit. Basically, they're "downsizing" because their profits weren't so hot over the past fiscal year. So, instead of investing in actually DEVELOPING its employees, the company is finding ways to axe people. It seems that they're trying to force everyone into pre-set boxes. If you're an "A-1" your job is safe. If you happen to be a "C-3" then you better start cleaning out your cookie cutter cubicle.
As for me, I'm definitely NOT an A-1. I'm probably not a C-3 either. But, just to be ready, I cleaned all the personal effects off my desk already.
Anyhoo, today is a day for me to try to figure out some things.
I actually created a list on 43 Things. A couple months ago, I probably would have thought it was a waste of time. But today, somehow it felt therapeutic. Besides, the items that I put on my list were things I already listed in my journal.
Speaking of journals, how often do people read through theirs? I read back through mine perhaps too frequently. But, I keep seeing the same patterns repeated. Patterns of negative self-talk, poor health habits, dreams and desires that I can't seem to get myself motivated to reach for. How can I take these patterns and make them productive?
Just a few things to keep me going today...
