Oh man, was I ever exhausted last night after my first day at my new job yesterday. I hadn’t felt this deep an exhaustion sifting through my veins in a very long time. I could barely keep my eyes open from the moment I arrived home.
Stepping out of a toxic work space into a healthier, more positive environment was no easy feat. I’ve been in survival mode for far too long now, and my body and mind have been in complete chaos due to the toxicity, but then something happened yesterday after I arrived home from work. For the first time in forever, I was able to take in a breath of fresh air and release the emotional burden I’d been carrying.
I actually left work, at work for the first time in forever. It’s making a lot of sense to me now that my body and mind were responding with extreme fatigue because they’d been in such chaos for so long.
I never realized before yesterday just how draining the feeling of relief could be, but I’m giving myself the grace I know I deserve, to let go in order to rest my body and mind and start to try and rebuild. It’s all part of my healing process, a process I’ve definitely more than earned.
