Since the verdict, I have been dealing with work-life drama. As I’m not about to let more drama into my life, I’m actively pursuing other avenues because no situation or circumstance at work is worth my peace and mental health.
Though we were found not guilty of a felony, we still have to deal with the consequences and effects of the trial/charges.
I respond to stress internally. My sleep schedule goes wonky, and my digestive system rebels. So, I’ve been home the last few days trying to adjust and reset. Mentally, I feel good. I know (and can not be convinced otherwise) that I am doing the best I can at work. I know I did the best in the situation that led to the charges with what I knew at that time. I know our life as a family and as individuals will work out the way it’s supposed to.
It’s just a matter of getting my body to get out of the constant state of stress and worry. I took a day off yesterday and that helped. Today, I’m still home and doing things to help my body reset. 45 minute stretch session, lots of water, a spin session, touching base with y’all. I think I might even head on a trail with my dogs.
My life is my own again. And that is an amazing feeling.
