As a Wife, I learned to communicate! It does not work to keep things in or ignore issues and expect them to go away on their own. Not current issues and most definitely, not your past issues!
As a Mom, I learned that if you give your kids just a few moments before starting any project that it will pacify them.
As a co-worker, I learned to ....um.....well, have a drink at night so I can relax in order to not show up and want to strangle someone the next day. I hate drama and my work is drama!
As a Blogger, writing is my release (especially from the above comment about work!). I learned to join communities, make friends with other's online and the value of give some, and get some in regards to attention to your posts.
As a Human, be a friend! Recognize when other's have heavy issues and be there in any way you can. At a time in my life, I had turned all my friends away and it left me alone in a very dark time. I never wish for anyone to feel they have to go through any situation alone even when they think they are capable. I know better and never want to see someone make my mistake. Hopefully I appear as good a friend to other's as I really want to be!
Statistically: I keep in mind what I recently read that 1 in 5 women are in an abusive relationship, even more shocking-1 in 7 men are also! Don't judge before you know someone's real troubles! I've been a 1 before in a prior relationship and am now a 0. Those 1 in 5 need a quiet friend, so be theirs!

2013 is going to be a year of new things. I want to change in my career-I am worth more than my position and am going for big or make a decision to not do at all. I will be sending my Baby off to Kindergarten. I have learned to be a better and more open Wife and will embrace that. Most important, even if no one else understands why I do what I do or why I am who I am, I will keep on doing what I want, when I want and how I want. I do for my family and I have been doing more for me and want to do more for others. Last, I will write...it is my release and it keeps me positive.
Good Luck changing careers. It is very scary to say I am gonna quit my job and find something else. Especially when we are grown with kids and bills. It takes a brave person..I am 100% positive it will be every bit worth it.
ReplyDeleteI quit a job i hated. I cried for a week because I felt so much relief. Every time I thought about it I just cried. I was also angry with myself that I let that unhappiness go on for so long.
GOOD LUCK! And if you don't find the job of your dreams, may it at least be better!!
"Be a friend" is so important. I tend to be cynical more often than not, and sometimes it shows. But do I need to drag others down? I've learned to be more open to others and not worry so much.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck in achieving everything you aspire to achieve this new year!
