I know that you haven’t been feeling very happy. It seems like you have it all on the outside but you are feeling a nagging unease within.

How do you make hard choices? Are you making faith-based or fear-based decisions?

I joked – “I did not choose Sales, Sales chose me.” I never thought I would end up in sales. I grew up thinking I was going to be in finance/accounting because my dad planted that ambition in me since I was 5 years old.

When I experience negative emotions, I would find ways to move past them, to not think of them because I felt that these emotions weighed me down. When I can’t do that effectively, I blame myself for being not strong enough.

It was one of those evenings when I was scrolling through my feed and saw an acquaintance celebrating her business milestone. As I see her talk about her journey and milestone, I felt small.

I took a long break last week and had a really good time resting and recuperating by the beach. A funny thought came to mind, I could physically go on a holiday. Do my emotional triggers go on vacation too? It was a passing thought that I found amusing.

In the early days of my career, I developed a keen interest in self-help and personal development. I was hungry in excelling, fast. One thing I picked up then was the power of positivity and the power of mind.

Delivering results as an individual is simple. Things changed when I have to deliver results through other people.

At the end of the day, you feel heavy, and sometimes, guilty for not being productive or not resting well enough.If you are feeling this way, you are not alone. There are ways to help you rest better.
