I’m Returning to Work
Last year, circumstances led to my decision to not return to work. A combination of mental health and physical health concerns caused me to say “no” to the command to return to the office.
Almost a year later, I have had enough free time to have entertained every thought about my past and present. I can’t say it was a carefree time. I had moments of questioning my decision, pushing blame on others, wondering how long I would stay unemployed, and wondering what to do next.
Fortunately, I had a healthy savings account to sustain me, but the numbers decreasing past my comfort level are driving me to work.
I started writing on Medium to gain income. $5–10 a month is not enough.
I have goals to write books and do YouTube, but for some reason, I just can’t remain focused and disciplined on those efforts.
I think I need a routine or schedule, which I will not stick to unless I am forced to, and I think that will come by way of a paid gig.
So, I’ve started putting my resume out there and have an interview today for a work-from-home job.
During the past year, I have gotten in greater tune with my higher power (God) and my higher self. I will allow my spirit to guide me to let me know the next best move for my life.
