Happy Monday everyone! I wanted to share something with you all that has helped my anxiety and overall well being. I started doing 10 minute mindfulness meditations daily and it has been the biggest game changer. I find so much more calm and peace throughout my day. I even do it in the middle of the work day if I feel myself getting reactive. I use the calm app (they send you 40% off the 1 year subscription) and they have great material! Hope this helps. Have a blessed day everyone!

But I also know this job has been extremely tough on my health and my family and I regretted it the first time I turned down an offer.

Second year at lit boutique. Being asked to draft a lot of briefs from scratch. Work product is great but I take way too long. Not necessarily procrastinating. I just struggle to get a flow state.

But can’t figure out. Flow state only comes when I’m backed against a wall. Currently on medication. Any other tips?

I really feel like I’ve been dealt a really bad hand in my life. It feels like no one gives me a chance. Whether it’s a job I know I’m qualified for, or someone I’m interested in. Even things that appear to be good at first end up sucking. I know I should be grateful for what I have and that so many others are less fortunate. But I still can’t help but think that for a person in my position, given the opportunities that I was given, I am just a complete failure and nowhere near what I could be.
