you are such a good friend! yes, these are all things that have changed, and will change. this, this seems somehow scarier, less doable. i've kept that little article you found; it spoke to me. especially the part about leaning on your practices. i think i've journaled more in the last 2 1/2 weeks or so than in a long while. i am doing my best to be gentle with myself, i appreciate the reminder thanks, for everything

thank you, i do have determination. i really don't like failing thanks for taking the time to read and comment

hi! so very good to see you ☺️

it's been a really long couple of weeks. i have to become proficient in a new skill by end of summer. i'm being asked/told that the way i do my job MUST change. and it must happen now. not sure if i can do it. i have never done well with change. ever. and now here is the BIG BOSS telling me that while i am among the best at what i do that he's ever worked with, i must change. i must take on tasks that haven't been mine in the past. i don't know if i can do it. i embarrassed my manager by fumbling through a presentation. in another meeting i wasn't able to provide data to back up my confidence in reaching a billing goal. i know we can hit that goal, but was unable to show why. i couldn't manipulate the program fast enough to sort the data. my confidence is shot. i second guessed almost every email i wrote for the last few days. i've been reluctant to speak up in client calls. i've made fewer calls to clients in the last few days than in the last few months. i'm hanging on, because i KNOW i'm good at what i do. i KNOW my manager wants me to succeed. but that nasty little voice in my head just. won't. stop. i need something to help raise that confidence. just one small thing to go right. a customer to say "good job." a colleague to say something. i needed to get this out. i'll be working on this over the next few weeks. so, if you got this far, thanks for reading.

ever have one of those days when you have to defend/show that you've been doing all you can but just want to shout "IF YOU WOULD STOP CALLING MEETINGS I COULD GET SO MUCH MORE DONE!" lol! good thing i know my manager has my back take care

i'm hard at work on some of these now, thanks for the great visual

so... i just apologized for having a headache. it's not like i planned on this, i didn't "do it on purpose." spurred a conversation as to why i felt like i had to say i was sorry...

i love this one tim thanks xoxo

thank You Sir being involved in planning our future is exciting. i was exhausted last night. that kind of thinking and talking is hard work. i'm sitting in my car at the venue finishing my coffee and getting ready for day 2. take care Sir

hey everyone.... hope you are doing ok. i'll be away the next couple of days. i'm participating in a KAIZEN EVENT: A kaizen event is a five-day team workshop with a specific goal or set of goals for an area that needs improvement. This event will be led by a team leader and will include training, data collection, brainstorming, and implementation. ours is only 2 days. there's no phones, no email, no Teams/Zoom/Skype. we're focusing on growth & expansion. have a great rest of the week. see you this weekend

i'll have to look for that, thanks!

i don't have to get up early for work, so maybe.....

that looks really tasty right about now i wonder if it's too late to whip one up.....

that's very good news Kitt!

it's the start of a long weekend. this is a good reminder

i like this a lot ☺

👋 hi everyone

well done rick!

oh i'm so happy for you!

so.... i was off on Monday, doctor's appointments etc. came back to work on Tuesday to 240 emails! i have spent the week playing what seemed to be a losing game of catch-up. i worked an hour overtime that night, and 30 minutes last night. today, i left the office with about 10 unread emails, and only 2 items on my "To Do" list i'm tired, but proud of the way i persevered, and just handled it. no freak outs, no anxiety moments. tomorrow, we are taking a drive to one of the lakes around here, with a picnic lunch and maybe the fishing gear. i hope everyone had a good week and takes time to recharge this weekend

i may have to copy those words to add to the affirmations on my desk so glad you shared it

that sounds like a wonderful weekend! hope you're doing ok

hey everyone i hope that whether your weekend is Friday-Saturday, or Saturday-Sunday you were able to spend some time on you, whatever that looks like. have a good week...

omg!!! so adorable!

i looked everywhere for an aardvark to ask to lunch. i couldn't find one, but out manager bought pizza for lunch. wait.... does that make me an aardvark??? i'm copying your affirmation for today, by the way....
