Today is back to work day!
I put the exclamation point there to convince myself this is a good thing. It is, right?!🙄
I secured a freelance role to cover a maternity leave. The isn’t what I’m accustomed to, but it’s fair. The role can be anywhere from 3-6 months and it’s a company on my top 10 list. I’m not sure how much I will like the role itself, but I’m pretty certain it’s well within my wheelhouse.
I felt excitement when I interviewed and pleased that the man who hired me did so because he knew me and my work ethic from many moons ago.
The office is much closer than my previous office, shaving off at least 25 minutes each way each day. That’s a huge time savings I can dump back into my work out efforts.
I don’t know why I’m not excited. My friends and family are more excited than I am. Lots of support from the home team. I feel sort of nothing. I don’t think my brain is turned on yet.
I am going to approach this the same way I approached my fitness, one step and one day at a time. I cannot allow myself to get to invested or emotional, I need to focus and do a good job. I don’t need to be the best, I just need to be good at what I do. I will not kill myself and push myself to a breaking point again. I cannot afford to lose the new found sense of self I’ve gained.
So, hi-ho hi-ho it’s off to work I go.
Wish me luck!
You’ve got this, M!

Congrats! I think you are being prudently cautious because it is a temporary role. That’s fine – you’ll knock it out of the park. Just be true to yourself. Good luck!!
