New Start

In my last post, I talked about burn out and where I was mentally from work.  I was exhausted and drained of having to constantly keep up this tough face at work for my team.  The role I took on was a great lessons learned, but I realized it was not the right role for me based on my passions. 

What I'm most proud of was my ability to acknowledge this and not let it bring me down even further. I went on the job hunt and refocused on what it was I wanted to achieve in my career.  Doing that led to me landing a competitive job offer that I was able to bring back to my organization.  In response, I received a counter that aligned perfectly with my goals and was able to transition within my current organization into a role that was better fit for my mental health and career aspirations. 

This moment really made me realize the power of reflection, self awareness and having a solution-oriented mindset. Without it, my mental health would not be where it is today.
