Contrary to what most people might assume, I didn’t start my Self-Love Chapter single.
It wasn’t through heartbreak that I first decided to start choosing myself.
It was when I came home from work one day and said to my partner ‘I know I either come home from work absolutely buzzing or completely stressed - which one do you think it is more often?’
Before even a split pause ‘STRESSED’
In that moment, I knew.
Of course I knew - I was the one living it.
I was the one taking my work laptop home every night to either try to catch up or get ahead.
I was the one celebrating my team hitting all their KPI’s to realise I have to do it all again next week.
I was the one keeping up a performance of confidence so I’d be considered for promotion, whilst my swan legs were flailing from the immense pressure, beneath the surface.
And I couldn’t shake the realisation that if most of my work time was spent stressed, and most of my life was spent at work…
I was spending the majority of my life in Stress. And that just did not seem like the way life was meant to be.
So when we briefly joked about quitting our jobs to travel, it was all that kept entering my mind every time I swiped my lanyard and pulled up in my works car park.
So… we made it happen. And you won’t be surprised to know there’s not a single day I look back and think ‘I wish I’d stayed in the corporate career’
The good news? You don’t have to wait for the breakup to happen or the corporate stress to turn to illness to choose yourself
You get to proactively choose yourself NOW
