I'm not sure what has changed, but I'm not so stressed out these days. I think it has to do with having the weekend off and having yesterday off. A day off really helps you make it through the week less stressed out! I just worked from 9:30 am to about 10:00 pm, and I was ok with it. In the past I have actually broken down and cried before I had to go to work. Especially at night or on a weekend when my family is home and I couldn't be with them. I would just have an anxiety attack.
I have changed my thinking. I'm not going to let work rule me, I'm going to rule it. I am asking for days off. I'm not going to be a freaking slave to the job. I need a life outside of having 3 jobs. I know, it's about time I figured this out! Working a 41 1/2 hour work week just at Hy-Vee really did it for me. With that and 10 hours at my other two jobs, that was 61 hours! OMG! No wonder I made so much money, but at what cost? We all love to bitch until we see the paycheck, huh?
Glad you are making time for "you". Working as much as you do would stress anyone out. It is always nice to take time to rest up and get refreshed.
ReplyDeleteI feel a little guilty because my paychecks won't be as big, but I really needed some "me" time. Trying to live normal, having a weekend day off.
