This is the current state of my job. Morale is very low and leadership is only just now attempting to figure out why since people have begun to leave. Feedback has been constantly shared and yet they have done nothing to address the issues. Namely communication issues from leadership to staff.
Staying present. Like fully focusing on a task like brushing my teeth, cooking, cleaning, etc. I just completely empty my mind and focus only on the act of doing that task. The sound, how things feel, my movements. I meditated ALOT before I was able to really understand what being present means. It helps a lot with minor things that cause me anxiety. Otherwise, deep breathing is something I try when I’m near panic…which is a hit or miss depending on how quickly my mind is racing.
My elementary school closed down a few years back. They had a small reunion with any students that attended before they closed for good. It was a definite blast from the past as there were a few teachers that still worked there and many of my old classmates attended. Unfortunately, I didn’t receive the news until after they already shut down but I was able to see pictures on Facebook.
One of my favorite cozy reads is howls moving castle by Dianne Wynne Jones and that series as a whole. If you’ve seen the movie, the book has enough differences that it’s completely worth a read.
Ahhh that sounds so nice ☺️ I’m a homebody so I recharge best at home, on my couch and the AC high so I can bundle under blankets while reading a book!
Sending a warm welcome! I relate—I honestly JUST started to comment here and there on Reddit within this past year. I join kbin and within a week I’ve commented more here then the 8 years I lurked on reddit. It’s just a better overall vibe here.
THIS GAME IS THE MAIN REASON FOR MY PROFILE PIC. I absolutely loved this game! It’s actually the reason why I started playing music. There was a spooky house or something (it’s been so long since I played it) where you could play a piano and bijou played moonlight sonata. I loved the song so much I went to my aunt, who was a musician and asked her what the song was and once she told me, I wanted to learn how to play it! She then started teaching me how to play the piano. I was obsessed with this game. Thank you so much for bringing this up—was not expecting to see this anywhere. This has made my day ☺️
Also haven’t been back on Reddit and don’t plan on going back. It’s hard, I’m used to being on Reddit multiple times a day and have to fight the muscle memory to click on the app. But I’m realizing I’m really not missing out on anything by not being there. I’d rather stick with this community as we continue to grow. I don’t even use third party apps—it’s just the principle. Just doesn’t feel right to go back, feels scummy to support the site knowing that it’s owner doesn’t give af about its users.
Needed this laugh 🤣🤣
