Since March 2020, I have been working remotely from my condo. Though, I am thankful to have a job during the pandemic, my work hours have been trending up to 60 or 70 each week. Personally, I tend to be a little of a “workaholic” but having my office a few steps away from my bed made things worse. At first, there was a pride in the things I could accomplish in this new environment, but soon felt the side effects of living an unbalanced life. We all know what that can look like for ourselves…
My telltale signs include losing keys, getting flaky about social events, snapping on even the littlest things, and eating my feelings (x3000). Last month, I picked up the book the Happiness Project which walks you through how to live a more fulfilling life. This process begins with writing down a list of things that bring you joy, besides accolades at work. One of the things my list included was new experiences, which we all know has been hard in this more isolated time. So, my goal now is to look for unique experiences and this blog will be my way of tracking those new but ‘safe’ adventures.
