I have learned after years 'at work' with managers that the word 'manager' is apt indeed since it is 'Man' + 'Ager' or 'that which ages men' ;)
In my experience, all forms of artificial hierarchy are imbalanced and thus to be stress free in a hierarchy is almost impossible.
My suggestion is to see if you can expand your imagination to include new possibilities and at the same time make listening to your emotions more important than conforming to dogma. <3
I've never thought about splitting the word in two like that lol. "Man - Ager"....that's pretty accurate!. I'm working to eventually get out of the corporate world but reasonably it's going to be another 5-10 years before I can leave and do my own thing so I will need to find a way to adapt.
I don't generally like big changes especially if they're poorly planned or done for arbitrary reasons (they're not necessary or something is being changed for the worse). Accepting new situations and new things seems to get harder for me as I get older. It's definitely one of my weaknesses.
resistance to change and denial of the real feelings which know we need to change is part of the CAUSE of ageing. we only have the present moment to adapt to change. ;)
true words indeed @ura-soul ! ; )
Hi sorry to but in on you two here but i found your comments very interesting ) I recommend you down size and find whhat you really want and need to do with your life and embrace it @cyptokeepr ! Its what I did when I bought an old sailing boat after the Start up bubble of 2000 when I was facing the biggest life question ever for me ! Boats can be terribly stressful places to bel, but out at sea alone, I learned truly to manage my actions and stress levels! I think as @ura-soul suggests in this great post that its essential and can keep you alive ! believe you me after 17 long crazy days of sailing my tub from here to there I know this is a fact lol !
