Mixed emotions around work

C: People ask me about job, run into people in building, feel discomfort

T: What would you have to think to create the feeling that would allow you to take the actions below and create your R line?

UM:
T: This job is a fall from grace because of my own stupid decisions. I used to earn a lot more and had creative ambitions for my return to work.

IM:
T: I am taking financial responsibility. It is a messy, imperfect first step. I will get paid for the first time in a long time.

F: discomfort

S: heavy stomach, chest, jaw, dizzy head

A: Acknowledge discomfort, tell them anyway without explanation or apology

R: Feel at ease with who I am and the choices I’ve made

This R line feels like the top of a ladder thought.

More realistically right now, my IM R line might be

R: value what I’m doing for what it brings me right now. Do my best to bring value for myself and colleagues.

You get to create your experience, and this is you planning in advance to do just that.
