Ditching the grind for peace
So last year I finally reached my breaking point, in this incredibly stressful job, and I was close to breaking. OMG, I was waking up every single morning feeling terrified 😨. I would trade my sanity for money, but it wasn’t worth it; I was becoming a zombie. Anyway, I was talking to a buddy who basically quit his corporate job to start a small organic farm. Seriously, I thought he was crazy. But I also kind of envied him for having the guts to… leave. A few months later, I followed his lead, though not to start a farm, but to do something low-key that allowed me to take a break, and you know what? It was the best decision I ever made. My salary isn’t as great, but my mental health has improved, I spend more time with my family, and I actually smile now — a real smile, not the forced one I used to have. Anyone else quit a high-stress job and found unexpected joy?#HighStressJobs #LifeChanges #SeekingSimplicity
