I think the...Oh Pam I'm so sorry to hear that. I think there are positive aspects to it because it gives you the means to do other things that give you pleasure. I think some people are more easily able to detach who they are from what they do. I did try to do that for many years but it my job was so incongruous with my feelings and values that eventually it took a really terrible toll and I knew I couldn't continue that way. I think you will know when and if you ever need to make a move but hopefully you can remain positive while there!JBeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11544038103802020393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7559984268348173690.post-14560731213731300392015-01-14T18:51:51.903-08:002015-01-14T18:51:51.903-08:00Thank you so much for stopping by and for the enco...Thank you so much for stopping by and for the encouraging words!

Small steps to achieve goals are more realistic, and sometimes you can't predict at the beginning of the year what the next 12 months will bring and how your mind and feelings might change!JBeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11544038103802020393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7559984268348173690.post-27838110416755183152015-01-14T18:49:41.764-08:002015-01-14T18:49:41.764-08:00You are always my biggest fan Lesle!!!

It supports our lifestyle, and I wouldn't have had a lot of the life experiences I've had without the paycheck that shitty job provides. I just have to search for my fulfillment elsewhere.Pam @ herbieontherun.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08198123992152626641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7559984268348173690.post-88249123018670835642015-01-09T08:47:20.288-08:002015-01-09T08:47:20.288-08:00oh, my goodness... girl, you are absolutely SPOT O...oh, my goodness... girl, you are absolutely SPOT ON with this post. I agree. I don't think it's great to set yourself up to unrealistic expectations and to tell yourself things like, "I have to do XYZ or I will be a failure." Life is funny sometimes and it can change on a dime and I've learned that it's best to know how to roll with the tides. <br /><br />Great post! mypixiebloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09135461083810124483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7559984268348173690.post-37600643746366424392015-01-08T20:10:13.925-08:002015-01-08T20:10:13.925-08:00I agree about resolutions for the year.

The other day I told my husband I felt fatigued, and he suggested going to bed early. I thought about it, and while yes more sleep will help, I was feeling more than just tired. Fatigued, maybe on the verge of getting sick. Taking those few minutes to self evaluate how I really felt was important to determine the best action.<br /><br />Anyway, that's a minor example! Just goes along the lines of intuition and awareness of what we need, want (really want, not what we're told to want), like/dislike, etc.It's so freeing!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17438645250225957388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7559984268348173690.post-59223657819847458162015-01-08T04:45:18.472-08:002015-01-08T04:45:18.472-08:00I always feel better when I am following my heart....I always feel better when I am following my heart.

I truly learned to open that part of me up and go for it, but also to know when things are feeling awry, there is likely a reason that they do. I think so often we think that we have to follow the path that we have set ourselves up on. But sometimes? we just have to trust ourselves.
