Work Anxiety

It is really strange. I didn't have to say or do anything. I just went to work and acted like nothing happened. One person asked if I was feeling any better and I just corrected her saying it was my daughter who was sick. On the next day at work just at the end of the day my boss and her boss came into the room and I thought, "oh oh, this is it" but it wasn't. 

I am still weary of the job but I will just have to stick it out until I finish my courses. And then I will move on. 

I think I learned something about this whole thing. I let other people rule my mind. I need to try to figure out a way to ignore the physical symptoms and the worry. I also find that I over-think and over-analyse everything. No wonder I am exhausted!

Thanks Davit and Josie for your support, I really appreciate it! :D

How to Break Through Indecision

I struggle with this for a long time. I couldn't decide what kind of career to choose. I finally just chose the cheapest career training I could get while trying to find something that wouldn't drive me crazy. I am still not 100% confident in the career I ended up in but I have been told I am good at it.

One of the best bits of wisdom I have heard was from a Buddhist monk called Ajahn Brahm. He said, "If you can't think of anything to do to solve a problem then do nothing", and that has helped me since I over-think and over-analyze.

It all sounds very Zen-y :)

Work Anxiety

This weekend is my niece's birthday, my daughter has curling and I will be painting. I think I will paint a picture based on Davit's imagination :) A garden of interesting sunflowers :)

Thanks and I will keep trying to stay positive. I found I enjoyed my job a lot more when I stopped thinking only about me. I need to get out of myself sometimes :)

Is There A Secret to Seeing Leisure versus Stress?

I find it really hard to enjoy life too. I would love to just enjoy life more, lessen the stress.

Even when I do things I enjoy my mind races and I lose interest or I find something that needs to be done instead of what I want to do.

For the ladies only please

I think I am also going through menopause and my hormones are all over the place. I have had my period for 3 weeks, then off for a half week, back again for 3 weeks and now I don't have it. I am sick of it, but I am even more sick of my doctor who won't help me. This has been happening for a long time. I have been put on birth control to regulate. I have also had cysts and endometriosis.

I am 35 and I am going through menopause. It stinks. I hate these hot flashes. I am going to a new dr on the 15th. 

You should go get checked out though. It is important and will at least set your mind at ease.

Take care

My mother also had the same thing happen. We have the same dr and she was bleeding for over a year. Our dr ignored it, my sister made an appt for my mom at another dr and they found cancer. She had a hysterectomy and has been cancer free for over a year now.

For the ladies only please

I do worry a lot about my health. I just would like something that would help. I hate the hot flashes, I turn bright red which is even harder since I am a red head!

Anxiety Blooms Again

Well, I had a good stretch. Now, here I am, again....ready to go to work but I am filled with anxiety and stress. I feel panicky and worried, about what? I have no idea. 

In the midst of our anxiety, how can we snap out?

No Thoughts

I have been feeling really anxious lately but the most odd thing is that I don't know why. I wake up stressed and cranky. I am angry and unmotivated. I feel the symptoms of stress etc and there really isn't much wrong. I have also been grinding my teeth at night and getting a lot of migraines.

I would like to challenge these feelings but how do I do that when I can't pin point an issue?

What do you want for Christmas?(If you don´t ask you don´t get)

I love Christmas so much. I love the decorations, the songs etc. The whole gift thing isn't a big deal with our family, not a lot of gifts just get togethers. I love seeing Christmas again through my daughter. That is what is meaningful to me now.
