Do you ever feel that you have sold yourself out and desperately want to reclaim your life back?




One typically starts their working life with many positive qualities such as adaptability, resilience, motivation; expectations and rosy visions about how life is going to turn out. Somewhere along time, they get forgotten. These inner core values get trampled upon. They more often than not, either replaced or taken over with feelings such as stress, anxiety, insecurity and the list can go on forever.  Factors such as physical exhaustion, mental stress emotional burn out are usually the cause of this sad turn of events. And then the questions start. “What happened to me?” “I was never this person.” “Why am I so anxious all the time?” As a result, the quest to regaining the balance in life and keeping one’s life on track begins.

 

However, it doesn't have to always be this way. The so called “rat race” in my opinion is called that because one forgets somewhere along the line that the “rats” or individuals in the race are actually humans. Humans who have beating hearts, who feel emotions that stem from other places than in the workplace and actually have lives outside of their work lives. A simple acknowledgement, encouragement of the same and reminder of this, from the very start of everyone's work life could help shift the curve of work and life.

 

You have one life to live and a lot to pack in, so you might as well enjoy the ride!  The first and most important step one can take is the one that acknowledges that everyone around you is a human; as human as you are. #keepyourlifeontrack
