Lessons on the Job
Wednesday, April 24, 2013
You are reading from the book The Language of Letting Go
Lessons on the Job
Often, the spiritual and recovery lessons we're learning at work reflect the lessons we're learning in other areas of our life.
Often, the systems we're attracted to in our working life are similar to the systems in which we find ourselves living and loving. Those are the systems that reflect our issues and can help us learn our lessons.
Are we slowly learning to trust ourselves at work? How about at home? Are we slowly learning to take care of ourselves at work? How about at home? Are we slowly learning boundaries and self-esteem, overcoming fear, and dealing with feelings?
If we search back over our work history, we will probably see that it is a mirror of our issues, our growth. It most likely is now too.
For today, we can believe that we are right where we need to be - at home and at work.
Today, I will accept my present circumstances on the job. I will reflect on how what I am learning in my life applies to what I'm learning at work. If I don't know, I will surrender to the experience until that becomes clear. God, help me accept the work I have been given to do today. Help me be open to and learn what I need to be learning. Help me trust that it can and will be good.

LMN, this is exactly what I needed to read today. I have allowed myself to get exhausted in tax season and now that it's almost over, I am planning to take much better care of myself and stop taking on so much work.
I am my own worst enemy for this, my boss doesn't push me, she's great, but I step up too easily and say "I'll do it" when I really mean "I need a day off".
Lesson learned, stay tuned for the "new me"
