Some unexpected benefits of being laid off…

If you’ve ever been laid off, did you notice any benefits or a-ha moments popping up in the first week or so?

I’d like to share my unexpected a-ha moments, and the benefits I’ve noticed, with you!

“We cannot become what we want by remaining what we are.” – Max Depree

I was laid off from my full-time job two weeks ago.

I had worked there for nearly 22 years.  Who does that these days?!

Well, I had been needing to let that job go for a long time.

My soul needed to be free of it, and yet I found it so very difficult to leave it on my own terms.

So, this has been a bittersweet push that I obviously needed.

Thank you, Universe!!! 💫​​

So, what does this mean?

Well, my husband and I had already planned a vacation that following week.  And now that we’ve been back for a few days, I’m realizing so many things about what that job was doing to me…like on so many levels! 😳

Also, I’m going to have A LOT more time to serve you and help with your needs (more on this at the end of this post)!

Like I mentioned, my husband and I had a planned trip to Orlando for 5 days. Isn’t it just our luck that we chose the week Hurricane Milton decided to come through the state of Florida (you can read about that experience in this post)?!

Since we were in Florida, I was only partly aware that I didn’t have a job to go back to when we got home.  The constant hurricane coverage on all of the t.v. screens throughout the resort were also a HUGE distraction!

We got home last Friday evening.  Ordered pizza and watched a movie. 🍕📽

The next morning, I was all about getting started on cleaning out one of our closets.  It’s a walk-in closet in a spare room.  Since that closet was lucky enough to be the place where a lot of “leftover items” were placed, it was a pretty big task.

Since then, I’ve been cleaning out different areas/spaces in our home each day.

I gotta say…it feels pretty darn good!!

While being laid off is not ideal, I have noticed additional unexpected benefits and a few a-ha moments.

Here we go:

1. I don’t dread getting up in the morning. I would lie in bed after my alarm would go off and just want to cry…or at the very least to just stay in bed and cuddle with my cat. 🐈‍⬛
2. My stress levels have significantly decreased.  Sounds strange, right?  I don’t have an 8-5 job anymore…how is that not stressful?? It is.  But I’ve realized a lot of my stress actually came from my job AND not having the time to do the things I needed or wanted to get done.
3. I have more energy.  My job literally drained me. Like I said earlier, my soul needed to be rid of that job.
4. I am taking better care of myself. I’m eating better and getting back on a regular exercise routine.  I didn’t eat right when I was at my job.  I would, often, skip breakfast and have a not-so-great/healthy lunch.  😟
5. I have time freedom.  WOW!!  This a-ha is HUGE for me!  Don’t get me wrong, I’m not spending my days just lazing around.  But I don’t need to worry any more about when I can schedule an appointment, when I can meet a friend for coffee, and when I can squeeze in time to work on my business or schedule a client.
6. I’m pretty resilient.  When I told my sister of the news, she asked me how long I’d take to “wallow”.  She was being sincere that it might be a good idea to just sit with my feelings and then get up and move on.  But I immediately told her that I wasn’t going to take any time to do that. I’ve got things to do, and I don’t want to waste time.

Phew! 🤯

Do any of these unexpected a-ha moments surprise you?

The thing is, is that I’m a multi-passionate person.  Meaning I have a lot of interests and things I want to learn and accomplish.

The main thing I want to focus on, now, is building my business so I can better serve you.  I offer a few services, already, but I want to always be learning other tools and modalities to better serve you.

So, what do I offer and how can I help??
