Sweet Somethings

Tuesday, Tuesdayed.

Hey there, how’s it going? If you ask me, I’d say “not too bad”. Although when someone at work asks me, I say “good”. Why tho?

A Tuesday in advertising is a trap. It’s not a Monday so people are just getting by. But it’s also not a Thursday, or should I say “mini Friday” for people to be happy. It’s like saying, “I Got This” while you’re secretly crying inside.

My day wasn’t rough, but definitely draining. I worked on my proactive idea along with regular billable work (work that I actually get paid for). I was anxious. I was tired. But I had my profesh hat on, so I sucked it up and kept going with a smile. I went to my CD for feedback, we chatted for an hour, and then he said something extremely powerful that’s going to stick by me.

He said that being stressed just means that you’re not doing what you should be doing. And if you’re doing it, you won't be stressed. Stress stems from fear and fear ain’t no good. I get it. My therapist said something like that too.

So the next time I see myself stressing, I’ll remember to do something about it. It could be anything, but something’s better than, well, something stressful ;)
