I forgot to talk about death....LOL... I know I will die one day and to be honest I never expected to live this long. When I was 16 I thought I would not live to be 40. I don't know why ! I did get to 40 though and then passed it and when I turned 50, I was amazed and 60??? Whodathunk it ??
I do need to get back to being focused on my health. I hope I can find it within myself.
The other position that was created was supposed to be in a lower pay grade, but I applied for it anyway thinking they would offer me less money, but if it wasn't WAY too much less, I would trade the wages for the less stress option for the benefit of my life as a whole. I mean, you can't really separate what your job does to you from the rest of your life. Fortunately and surprisingly, they wanted me for the position AND they made it a lateral move for me, which of course meant I didn't lose a penny ! Never expected that, but I totally did the happy dance.... well.... the best one I could. LOL
40...50...60...137...The sky's the limit!
I'm confident you can; One small thing a day, then two and three and...before you know it you'll see some changes (feel better) and that'll motivate you further.
Great work on the job, and to not lose any remuneration...a double win. It'll be good to use that lower stress scenario as a springboard to a better situation all round, work and personal.
