I work in clinical trials field for just a month less than
seven years now. It is a high stress job but also very challenging and
educational, so I am pleased with it because it feeds into my highest values.
And yet sometimes, like this week, stress is quite
overwhelming and if I weren’t focusing all my mental efforts into dealing with
work-related issues I would try to multitask and would end up spreading myself
too thin.
I do not wait to crack, I inform close ones in advance that
I’ll be less readily available and it works well, cutting on misunderstandings
and additionally getting a heaping portion of social support.
I like this modus operandi, one that is product of years of
trial and error.
In the evening I cook dinner and listen to offspringess
drone on about school issues and Minecraft and youtube tutorials and I have
myself some high-fiber date sweetened oatmeal carob cookies and I roll myself
in blanket and kittens come and sleep on top of me while I read a book.
Life feels sweet and well-portioned and I thoroughly enjoy
it, even with the stress and all.
