Don't Run

I am definitely sick, a cold maybe. Had a hard time sleeping last night. I had muscle spasms. I need to drink more electrolytes today. Makes sense, after the ride and throwing up. My body is reacting. Today I have yoga and a 35 minute walk. I might do the yoga now and walk after work. Or maybe walk now and gym after work. I think I might go to Panama. I need to see Sonja and Matthias. It's important. They are important to me. As for Mercedes and Carlos, not Sure how I will fit that in but I'll try. Maybe I can stop by that party for a bit, and see them again before I go. Not sure. what I do know is that I don't want to be stressed out trying to manage both. Maybe I can ask Sonja what her plans are with her other friends. I can't run this time. I always do this. I would cancel to not deal with the stress. Instead, I should see it as a positive thing. Friends that want to see me. Maybe I could ask Sonja what her plans are and see when I can fit them in. Just don't run away this time, Anni. Don't run.

I'm grateful for...

- life

- Getting to see Panama

- my health physically, emotionally, and mentally

Work in Progress

Yesterday was interesting. We had the retreat, it didn't go that smoothly but it went. People talked which is the most important thing. We talked about values and I talked to Majo who said I was treating her differently. Very similar to how Maria Cristina felt. Very similar to how I treated her because I was annoyed. I was annoyed by Majo and she called me out. Awareness. It was a great thing because now I can work on that and it won't get worse. I've loosened up as a leader. I have become more me and less of how I should be around this culture. I need to breathe, know when to rest, and maybe take some classes on active listening or empathy. I think it's important for me as a leader because like Majo said, people are watching and my voice is powerful. I need to go back to how I was in Panama. Kind. Patient. Calm. I feel abrupt, direct, quick. Work in progress, but thankful she talked to me especially if others are watching.  I'm grateful for... - awareness of what I...

RIF Pause

Well, timing might be working in my favor because we just got news that the judge halted the staff cuts. Let's hope that delays things a bit and maybe even stops completely. I hope so. I think Justin was right, I think agencies did what they were told and didn't realize that it wasn't allowed. Good thing we were last on the list. Now I can enjoy my vacation more because we won't be able to cut staff now, at least not next week. This is good news. From angry to relieved.  I'm grateful for... - life - my job - my health
