Not only my love life sucks, work is like a never ending story. Just as I finish one task, four more arrive to take its place. Life is becoming tedious as it is and I'm dying to jump off this treadmill. I don't want to be that poor hamster running.
For a change, I will make this weekend, my time-out for taking stock of all that is occurring on the personal front at the moment. If I think back over the last few months, I think will see how much of my attention has been on work, rather than on people I love and want to be with. There is probably some fallout as a result.
I have to think out what I really want: Maybe it's not a new job that I need but a different assignment -- or attitude. Would I consider changing to a new job scope? Omigod, I don't have to keep doing corporate communications and public relations until retirement or death do us part!
Anyhow, I know this is just a phase - every three years I would feel like upsetting the apple cart when it comes to work. I left my first employer nearing my third year there. I wanted to leave my second employer in my third year there, but changed my mind when I got a promotion, but I left in my sixth year. That's three years later. I'm coming to the end of my three-year cycle with my current employer. I need change!
I'm taking heed from Tony Buzan's book, "Embracing Change" and Fatimah Musa's artcile on "Tips To Build A Better Life" :
1...Walk away from negative people who use excuses and complaint about everything. Determine your own values and code of conduct. Nel shall be more assertive! No more losers for me.
2...Be serious and pay attention to what you are doing and what is happening around you. Nel shall not be blurr!
3....Set weekly goals and take daily actions to get out of the rut. The results will motivate and inspire.
4...Discipline yourself to read, listen or watch something of value and uplifting each day. Will power, will power!
5...Observe and challenge your negative self-talks.
6...Clean up the clutters in your life so that they will not accumulate and make you feel overwhelm.
7...At the end of the day, look at what you have accomplished and what you could improve. Set a little bit of time to reflect and rejuvenate.
On the brighter side of things at work, I have just received my Internal Quality Auditor examination results - I passed with flying colours, a strong Distinction! Wow, I myself, am amazed at myself. Hehehe :)
My dear friends, bloggers and browsers, to most of you, have a wonderful weekend!

Hey Nel,
You have a great sense of humor. Great attitude.
And congratulations on getting those flying colors.
Have a great "stock taking" weekend :)
Remember, Nel; It is the space between our thoughts where we can hear the voice of God. The trick is in the altering of time/space relationships between you the witness/observer and your stream of thought. To do this, learn to listen to your breath. Peace.
Congratulations NEL!
it's good to take time to think about yourself sometimes.

Dear Fatimah, Anne, Elisa and Anonymous! Thanks for the kind encuoragement, you guys are the greatest!
Nel, you just need someone who can firmly but gently talk you into coming home. He won't meet much resistance; you just need a push.
