This is the first post that I have ever really been nervous about posting! But the fists rule of blogging 101 is be honest and be genuine, right!? This post is important to me because it is about drawing a line and moving on.
I have been a bit all over the place recently, everything in my life has been affected in one way or another, including my blogging. There was a time not very long ago when I felt like my blogging might have to take a back-seat. My mum even advised me to give it a break all together for a while which was devastating as blogging is something that I have really come to love.
The truth is I have had a lot to deal with over the last few months and in the end friends and family intervened and told me that enough was enough.
Due to some unpleasant incidents I was becoming increasingly unhappy, my self-confidence plummeted, stress was effecting my concentration, my emotions were all over the place and I lost over half a stone in a matter of weeks. There were days when getting out of bed or making conversation with anyone seemed like the hardest thing in the world and all of my energy went into just trying to keep my head above water.
It was time to take action before my health and well-being took a proper beating. In the end my family and friends intervened, we decided that I needed to leave my job and one night we all sat down together whilst they wrote my letter of resignation with me.
I have now left my job. I am taking some time to focus on the things that I love and looking forward to the next chapter of my life.
I hate quitting and have never given up on anything in my entire life. Making the decision to walk away was in no way the 'easy option' I have been incredibly depressed, there have been a lot of sleepless nights and I have begun to suffered from anxiety attacks.
Slowly I am coming to terms with the fact that power can come from knowing when you have reached your limits, by walking away from a situation that is making you unhappy or unhealthy you are taking back control of your own life, I think that this takes a lot of courage.
It's scary and I am still sometimes hit with moments of incredible doubt, but I am choosing to look at this as an incredible opportunity and the start of new and amazing things rather than dwelling too much on the negatives.
I have got some really exciting plans for the future, which I'm sure will be filling thousands of future posts! I am looking at this as an incredible and exciting opportunity :)
Thank your for reading :)
