I am so stressed I could pull my hair out. I am going through some MAJOR changes in my life recently. I left an abusive relationship two months ago and I am still recovering from that. I also recently got my first job in my career field about three weeks ago! While it’s the job of my dreams and I’m super excited and grateful, I’m also stressed out and anxious. I don’t feel like the best version of myself right now and I have a lot of responsibilities. I’m disappointed in myself because I know I can and should be doing more to really prove myself and excel in my role.

I’m allowed to work from home a lot and I’m really struggling to focus on my work and set boundaries around what I spend my time doing. I’ve been distracted or in decision paralysis more often than I’d care to admit and I really want and need to do better. This is my career and my future. You’d think that would be motivation enough, but I think the extreme anxiety I have over succeeding is really messing with my head. Not to mention who knows what my brain is going through after 2 years of emotional abuse (I am in therapy but things have been rough).

I should probably mention that I’m the sole marketing director for an apple orchard and I have a lot of responsibilities and things I need to teach myself and learn! It is SO MUCH.

Please please please ladies I could use some tips and tricks and techniques and encouragement. 🫶🏻
