Fill Your Cuppa With Good Things

The last two weeks at work were a bit rough for me. I have been working at my current role for almost 2 years, and for the first time there was an incident at work, which made me stop and rethink of who I am. I became really tired of going to work. I found that hustling through the day became really hard. I started to feel like someone was trying to consume all the positive energy within me. I started to doubt myself and started to question who I really am in both professional and personal life. I started to feel down. I couldn't wait until 4.30 PM to clock-out and go home. I started counting down every day down until Friday. I spent my weekend worrying about the week ahead. 

Staying home was so much better though, my husband was always there for me to talk about it. He was helpful at the daily chores and continued to support me. I got space to rethink and revert back to my normal self. I read books that I loved, and went to places that made me happy. I went on long walks and took time to enjoy some me-time. A hot shower helped me to relax and wind down for the day. I wrote my gratitude journal every night before bed, and reflected on the day.

I also have a good friend who is also a colleague at work, and she reassured me that I'm certainly so much better and I need to believe in myself again. 

Nonetheless, I'm also a work in progress, and I decided it was time for me to move past what already happened. I needed to get back to my present moment, not about the incident that happened. It took me some time to revert back to my normal self and start practicing mindfulness again. I decided to let go of what was hurting me: thoughts, the words, and even the person. 

I needed to refocus and rediscover myself as well. This incident once again made me think of all the ways I can re-build, reassure and restart my mind. It made me reflect on all the good things I have in my life, which help me to fill my cuppa and enjoy this journey rather than worry. 

Lessons learnt: 

On your bad days, fill your cuppa with the beauty of life and surround yourself with positivi-tea
