The past couple days have been really rough. Change generally brings a certain level of uncomfortableness and requires a little bit of time to adjust. But, i can't help but feel the level of uncomfortableness the last couple of days has been pretty unnecessary. I hate leaving work feeling angry, frustrated, and disappointed- my work is important, and none of those feelings are things I want to feel about something that's THAT important.
At the same time, my life is important. And, I'm no longer prepared to allow work to sabotage the enjoyment of life. Late nights, short and demanding deadlines, and the run of the mill office chatter and gossip. I've committed to leave work at work, and to save my "off" time for things much more enjoyable- smiling, laughing, and relaxing. I'll tell you, I've noticed there is something about smiling, laughing, and positivity that is infectious. As I've placed a large focus on it outside of work, I've noticed that it's slowly but surely starting to creep into all areas of my life- work included. In general, i feel better. I've noticed I smile more, I laugh more- and more genuinely, and I'm less focused on the things that historically upset me the most.
It's funny, but I've noticed how it changes my surroundings too....
