@hustlingtortoise: Work gets exhausting when you make everything mean something about you. A cold reply. A weird tone. Being left out. Someone disagreeing with you. Suddenly you’re replaying it all night wondering what you did wrong. Sometimes, it really isn’t that deep. You can care about your work without absorbing every mood, reaction and decision around you. Protect your peace. Not everything deserves to come home with you. Share this with a coworker who overthinks everything at work. Save it for the next time your brain starts spiralling. Follow @hustlingtortoise for more on protecting your peace at work. 🐢 {work boundaries, stop overthinking at work, workplace stress, protecting your peace, work life balance, corporate life}

A bad comment from Friday ruined my weekend just gone

DaissyLynn :

ok let me just go around treating coworkers like crap and then tell them not to take it personally 🙃 got it🙄

Ellie :

This is easier said than done.. and more difficult to apply when already in burnout mode.

TCinBloom :

Great advice, but also don’t take crap personally and also don’t take crap period. People have gotten very comfortable being rude.

As a healthcare worker, needed this, sometimes it helps to have this as a reminder and a refresher.

The last one I can Thank my dog on. He is such a sensitive sally that he thinks when I’m mad about a people problem that I am mad at him. It’s definitely not him when the problem happened at work.

Healthcare is horrible with this. Just witnessed my coworkers make fun of a coworker of "lower rank" when she was being nice and they were really nice. When she walked away they shit talked her "was she even working?" "what has she even done?" "Completely unnoticeable." Then laughed at their comments. 🥺
