Colleague: how are you staying sane these days? Any tools/resources you can share? ⁣
⁣
Me: Ice cream. ⁣
⁣
Colleague: haha ya, and?⁣
⁣
Me: ..... just ice cream. .... well and when I’m feeling really wild and courageous ... boba.⁣

It’s ok to be learning, it’s ok to be contemplating, grappling, growing, reflecting, planning, taking action, crying, protesting, sheltering, getting through one day at a time. It’s ok to keep going.⁣
⁣
It’s also ok to rest. It’s ok to heal. Its ok to calm your nervous system. It’s ok to have some ice cream. ⁣
⁣
There’s a lot going on right now. And my nervous system is shot. ⁣😖
⁣
I tend to use sugar, meditation, yoga, venting sessions with friends and family. ⁣
⁣
It’s also clear, our black and brown brothers and sisters haven’t had the luxury of rest and healing when their nervous systems have been wreaked havoc on in more ways than can be fathomed for years. Not just the past few months. ⁣✊🏿
⁣
We are all processing (and hopefully growing). ⁣
⁣
Help each other process. Help each other grow. ⁣
⁣
And that can be done over some ice cream too🍦 ⁣

Black Lives have ALWAYS Mattered! 🤍💛❤️🤎🖤

I get it ... you had a great weekend and dread going back into the week on Monday 🤦‍♀️⁣
⁣
But what if you could change your story?⁣
⁣
The narrative you have in your head ... of your crummy life circumstances ... the life-sucking job ... what if you had control over your life? ⁣
⁣
I ask this because I was there once too! 🙋⁣
⁣
And what I did was make a conscious choice to change my story. ✨⁣
⁣
I become the author - not society, not my boss, not my parents. ⁣
⁣
ME. 💁⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣
Instead I focused on small wins:⁣
⁣
⛱️ What I did in my spare time outside of work. ⁣
⁣
📶Then it evolved into focusing on living with intention. Making conscious choices about EVERY. SINGLE. THING. ⁣
⁣
☑️ Who I spent my time with. ⁣
⁣
☑️ How I showed up. ⁣
⁣
☑️ Where I went throughout the week AND weekend (no more going to places that drained me out of obligation). ⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣
How could you change your story TODAY?⁣

The number of people disengaged at work seems to be skyrocketing - but is that necessary?

The below article highlights how we've moved from a framework where work evolved "from a means of material production to a means of identity production."

Why do you think we tie our identity so closely to our career?

Just bc I talk about the journey more than the result doesn’t mean:

1️⃣ I don’t struggle through the journey myself
.. even though I’d love me some Captain Marvel-like self-assurance ... it’s not always there 💯

2️⃣ That you’re supposed to be cheery through the whole thing
.. that’s definitely been a tough one for me. I cry and doubt myself through the whole process sometimes 😬

3️⃣ That you have to do it alone
.. just like the little boy in last week's video, I don’t think I’d get through it without my mentors and support system cheering me on ... or occasionally just giving me a hug 🤗
