Okay hear me out…
I love my new job (it's an internship by the way). I work with amazing people. My bosses are great. I haven't had issues with anybody which is strange in a way because I am a troublemaker.
But here is the thing, yeah, I feel like I am juggling too many things. There is just so much I need to do and thinking about it alone makes me inactive.
I miss the days when all I had to do was wake up, write and engage. Yes, I said it! I miss being lazy; I miss having control of time.
Maybe I am scared of a new challenge. My job would make me a better content creator. Currently taking a course on SEO. I should dabble into branding at some point. So it's a great opportunity for me.
The challenge is doing all these wonderful things I want to do. My health hasn't been great for the past 2weeks and I haven't done all I wanted and I hate that. I am fighting mixed feelings and my job is the only thing I can blame.
I miss my top spot in the engagement league; I miss having time to engage and learn which fuels my creativity. These days I feel stuck in my mind contemplating trivial things.
Asides from work and hive, other things are bugging my mind. Again, there are just so many things to be done. I keep reminding myself that at no point would I be in a position where I won't have to solve problems.
So rather than let life's challenges weigh me down, I should think of practical ways to manage the situation and my stress level. I just need to get out of my head. That's where all the madness happens.
It is quite ironic, but I put so much unrealistic pressure on myself. Reading this you would think I had an unproductive day or week but that's far from it. I have been able to achieve 80% of things on my to-do list. So why the pressure?
My colleague at work advised me to do some fun stuff. I laugh because I honestly do not know how to have fun. All I do these days is make money and cross things off my to-do list. I am more of a robot than a human being
I can't even sleep well without thinking of all the things I need to do. I don't enjoy watching movies or playing chess as i once did.
The only time I genuinely feel at peace is with my favourite person. Fortunately she is very busy now with her new job (good for us). So i dunno, maybe you guys can come up with fun things i can do.
I am laughing at myself right now. What have I become? Anyway, enough of my ramble. If by the end of June I am not able to sort things out I might just quit. Praying for guidance and direction from above. Cheers!
At the beginning everything is difficult and you feel that the situation overwhelms you while you get used to it and manage to do the activities more fluently, it takes time for you to acquire the experience, be patient.
Thank you very much. Patience is not one of my many virtues but i will give it some time. Thank you once again.
You didn't say how long you had been in this job but you're an intern so it can't be really, really difficult. You're just a bit overwhelmed. You will be surprised at how much you will handle effortlessly some day. A nice thing about being an intern is they don't expect you to be perfect, so loosen up, make friends, learn all you can, and have some fun. For the big things, write them down, and prioritize them. That gets them out of your head at night. And quit thinking about stress. Oddly, what we think about is what grows. Think about proper eating, exercising and keeping balance in your life. You're going to do just fine.
Its been barely a month and i would say i have the easiest job. I think i am just been overwhelmed like you said and need time
Yeah i do that regularly.
🤧
The first thing is to take some time for yourself, you need it ... put together a plan, reorganize your affairs and little by little your life will take balance, having fun is easy, just release that stress a little and enjoy your surroundings, observe everything, disconnect a little of that stress and you will see different things. cheer up friend !!!
Thanks for your advice. I will consider all the things you have mentioned.
Nice to see Tiger beer in other parts of the world. We used to make fun of it but it really isn't that bad. Actually, on a blind taste test, i think it is pretty good.
I like it because of its light taste. Doesn't taste like a beer
mm hmm.... yeah it is pretty light and i think they had an even lighter version as well as one called radler that was pretty good. Anyway they are doing pretty well after being bought out by Chang, the Thai beer company.
