Woosh !!!! I’m 31 and had no idea I still reacted so badly to change as I do.
I knew I didn’t used to like change in my 20’s but I thought it might have been cause I partied way to much and need some constant but heck now who knows.
What I can’t figure out is why ? So many people say “change is a good thing” etc… And yes maybe after the fact definitely.
But evidently I need and crave routine. I think it may be cause I was such a rebellious teen and young adult? Now I need a list, bedtimes, a day to day job etc…
I’m a gypsy soul and very laid back so you would think I would handle it better nope !!
Put my 2 week notice in at my 6 year office job two weeks ago today was my last day and woosh !!!! Heart racing, thoughts going every which away, some crying and a bit of freaking out.
I was out 10 days in 6 years and I have two toddlers so that’s definitely a sign I enjoy the “routine”.
I made the decision to quit cause.
#1. My husband works there also and its a very high stress job so it was impossible to turn it all off @ home.
#2. It was a small company with limited benefits etc…
So all amazing reasons and I left loving my co workers and my bosses.
Then why do I feel like its the end of the world. I get all giddy and excited about the possibility of a new job so it’s like I’m bipolar to change !! Uggg.
How do y’all deal with change and does it scare the hell out of you ?? Please don’t tell me I’m in this alone !
The quotes and stories I read on change does ease my mind a little !
Wish me luck and happiness @ my next routine job !!
Thanks so much for coming by means way more than you know !!
Good Luck to you Laci, and Kuddos to you for going with your heart.. Change is a bit scary, but you Got this! Many Blessings and Your Beautiful Spirit will Shine at anything you decide to do! Yayyyy for you!
Thanks so much !!!!
I recently quit my job at the beginning of the school year (I was a teacher). I realized I wasn’t in the teaching position I wanted to be in, my childcare situation changed, and I just felt like I was exchanging time for money. It didn’t make sense. I feel SO much better now that I’ve been out for about a month. It’s great. I had those same initial feelings but you will get through it and realize you made the right call!
Aww good luck to you! I’m sure you’ll conquer whatever is next. I have this print up at home that says “if nothing ever changed there’d be no butterflies”. Change is scary, but is a good thing!
