\"consider what sounds like it would be fun for you. If you always wanted to be a lawyer, but feel that\'s not possible, working in a law office as a receptionist might still be fun for you...\" Reed31
I did have fun working at the zoo! It was an INTERESTING place to work... and while I didn\'t work WITH the animals that was actually not a bad thing, lol... hmmm! Food for thought
\"forge your own path. Based on doing something you love...\" \"whatever it is - you are good at it. Think about that and how you could do that thing in a way that could help other people...\" rotherfield
Hmmm! I like helping people, I like coming up with creative ideas... I\'m very good at researching, synthesizing, collating, brain-storming... for OTHER people, lol...
\"sense of feeling connected and calm\"... \"pursue a sense of asserting my self\"... \"sense of control and life purpose\"... Spirit13
So... I guess I should be asking myself... two things!
1. What do I feel CONNECTED to? Hmmm! I am extremely disconnected at present... I\'ve tried joining some things but, dang it, I\'m a card carrying member of the Incredibly Awkward Socially club...
2. What makes me feel CALM? Being alone, lol... uhm, I can sense a problem, an internal conflict here... rofl
Something to be cautious of ~ \"developed an anxiety/stress response\"... \" to shake this.. a low stress job is my ultimate goal right now\"... Spirit13
I\'d say without a doubt that I am in the same canoe! Yup! Something in me snapped a few months ago and... PTSD is kicking my backside... left, right AND centre!
Words of Wisdom ~ Maybe choose...\"Low pay, but no stress. The way I see it, stress brings medical bills. You end up making tons of money and giving it to your doc who spends it on golf courses and vacations...\" Truhal
Well... most of my stress comes from conflict/triggers surrounding my PTSD... abusive authority figures and complacent, uncaring, or worse, also abusive people in positions where there job is supposed to be... to \"care\"
So if I\'m in a non-care environment then that might help tone down that stress trigger-response...
Obviously, making myself my OWN boss does minimise the abusive boss potential... but yeah... am I a good boss? I don\'t know about that!
