Gossip girl…

I’ve felt pretty unappreciated at work lately. My fellow supervisors tend to talk about each other, nitpicking everything they feel the other is doing wrong. I know I do a good job and work hard, yet this environment breeds distrust, division, and leaves me feeling like I need to defend myself. This feeling of insecurity has led me to join in on talking bad about the others. Subconsciously I think I wanted to pull them down so I’m not seen as so bad. This has become a viscous loop of me feeling worse and worse as this is not at all who I am.

So what do I do? Who am I? I get to focus on myself, seeing in myself where I can improve and not be distracted by what seems unfair or incorrect. I get to look for opportunities to thank and appreciate my co-supervisors. I get to take the time to encourage them and if they could use some support or the new ones need some training, I can offer that in a positive way. If there is a problem, I get to talk with them and deal with it head on.

I can improve. These shifts in what I’m seeing will open my eyes to more and will help me to feel so much more confident and happy. I deserve to treat myself better and as I do so that will create an overflow of kindness to others.

Much love,

Jules ❤
