Feel Broken? Feel Stressed? Feel That; Then Put Yourself Together & Fly Away

My health has been declining from the stress. I cry almost every day. The stress has become unbearable.

I want to have time again to relax and to rediscover myself without stress surrounding everything I do. The stress at my job currently follows me everywhere so it’s hard to just have fun outside of work even.

I also want to make a career change and want to narrow down what I’d like to do (I am pretty sure I want to become a programmer or web developer.)

I feel broken and want to feel whole again.

Emotional stress can make us feel broken. 

It can make us not find pleasure in anything. 

We can put ourselves back together. We WILL put ourselves back together one piece at a time. We will not let this job break us down, not today.

Don't Think You Can Hold On? You Can...Just Hold On...

I hate my job. I dread going into work every morning, and I am always looking for an excuse to get out of work. It’s not that I don’t like the actual job itself, but I don’t like the management style, or the environment that I’m in.

My boss, who I used to think was a great boss, is actually a terrible manager.

I don’t know how much longer I can last.

A part of getting through the “Just Quit” process is to learn to wait.  To hold on.  Even though “Just Quit” is about letting go; you have to hold on until you are SURE that you need to let go. 

Today, just hold on.

• Hold on to the fact that you have come this far. 
• Hold on to the fact that you are not alone.
• Hold on to the fact that you KNOW you will survive this. 
• Hold on to the fact that one day you will look back on this time in your life and be able to share your story with someone about how to make it through a job that they need to “Just Quit”.

For today, just hold on.

Take Your Monday's BACK...Sunday's TOO!

I start to dread Monday morning at 9:30 am Sunday morning.

I’m ill all the time due to the stress.

I’ve not been healthy for over a year.

The job is pointless and there is no satisfaction at all. I’m not appreciated. In fact, I believe I’m being actively encouraged to leave and I’m disliked by my boss.

Monday mornings are the worst.

The absolute worst.

We already know this, so instead of dreading it, just “feel it”.  Feel how HORRIBLE you feel on Sunday’s as you anticipate Monday’s.  What is happening in your body?  What are you thinking?

NOW — how many more Sunday’s and Monday’s are you going to go through this?  When will this end? It’s up to you. Really IT is up to you.

  You can DECIDE to “Just Quit”. You can decide to create a plan to get out of this situation. You can not only ENJOY Monday mornings; but EVERY Monday morning.

It’s a radical thought, but it’s true.

Fear + Anger + Hate = Suffering. Stop Suffering & Work Your "Just Quit" Plan

I wake up dreading the coming day.

I feel mentally drained after work and can’t concentrate on anything. I feel physically sick/anxious.

I’m sick of taking sh*t from other people that think they are entitled to it because they are above me on the corporate ladder. Every single day I want to grab them by the ears and knee them in the face.

Today, acknowledge that you may be angry and may feel rage but that you will not be violent.

If you think of violent things to do to anyone at work, recognize that that is not the answer.

You can be kind to yourself and acknowledge that you might have reason to think these thoughts, but don’t act on them.  Instead work your “Just Quit” plan and leave this job gracefully.

Say "Yes" To Yourself. Yes. Yes. Yes.

I have my own business that cannot thrive or grow without me devoting more time to it. It has gotten to the point where the things that need to be done for my business require more time and more effort. I am so drained from my job during the day, that I lack the energy to want to do anything else. In truth the time is there I am just worn out.

I also no longer enjoy what I do because I am being overwhelmed by too many unrelated job tasks. I feel that now that it is just me and one other person there are 9-5 responsibilities that shouldn’t necessarily be mine, but have become my duty.

I don’t feel that I am good at graphic design and having the pressure of doing something that I don’t think that I am good at is stressful. This isn’t what I signed up for and I have the skill but it’s not an area where I excel, so I feel like the pressure of my work not being good enough.

 My job title is Project Manager but I have no team to manage or assist with anything, everything is on me.

Our first duty is to ourselves.

Today, we will focus on what WE want.

It's A New Year - Focus On Taking Care Of Yourself This Year

I don’t like my job.

I don’t like the people I work with.

It is taking away my happiness mentally and physically. My job is causing me issues in my marriage, and with my immediate family.

I feel stuck, depressed, and unable to take care of myself.

~Worker Living in Oregon

We can take care of ourselves. 

Sometimes we are the only ones who can take care of our situations.  As much as we want someone to step in and figure it out for us, sometimes that someone is only us. 

We are able to figure this out. We will get through this.  We will survive it.

Claim Your Freedom & Move Towards What You Want To Do In Life

I’m quitting because my current job gives me anxiety.

I hate teaching and planning lessons.

I don’t see myself doing this the rest of my life so why should I stick this out the rest of the year.

~Worker Living in North Carolina

Claim your freedom to move forward with your decision to “Just Quit”.

If you know this is not the job or career that you want for the rest of your life, so it’s just a matter of time before you make a change. 

Today move towards that change.
