I Use Experience Project As A Diary

After taking a few weeks off of work, I start up again tomorrow. Truthfully, I'm dreading it. I had already misspoke to my 1st client I'm seeing tomorrow and it already put me on edge. My 3rd client tomorrow is a super far drive and I already know she's not going to like my best suggestion for design. So I'm going to have to try out a different approach. On the plus side, my 2nd client might reschedule. I may be able to take a break. We'll see, but I don't it.

I've been thinking a lot about this career path. It's enabled me to afford so many things I couldn't before and also assisted in me putting A LOT of money away. But emotionally, I'm on a roller coaster ride constantly. I'm on edge with almost every single appt. I'm feeling down most of the tired. I'm exhausted. I feel unhealthy. I feel depressed.

I wish that there was some sort of sign that told me what direction I needed to take in life...personally, professionally, spiritually. I need to find my way...

I think I kinda know what you're going through. We sometimes hit a wall and wonder, "What am I doing? Where is all of this going?" I've been there before.

I don't know what your spiritual life is like, but for me, things took a major turn for the better once I reconnected with God each day. I start my morning with short devotionals that help keep me centered on the right path. I'm learning to just trust Him to lead me in the right direction. It takes all the pressure off, because I don't have to have it all figured out!

Tonight I helped my church by serving at our homeless outreach. When I'm helping a woman find a donated scarf because it's so cold outside, it takes the focus off myself and puts it onto someone in need. Know what I mean?

Perhaps you could dabble in some volunteer work? If you're a designer, which it sounds like you are, you're obviously smart and talented and could offer others a lot of hope and direction. Perhaps you could even help at the abused women or single women outreach in your area. Food for thought.

Whatever you do, I wish you the very best.
