IF
YOU'VE BEEN SHOWING
UP TO WORK
WITH ANXIETY IN
YOUR CHEST,
I NEED YOU
TO HEAR THIS.
YOU SMILE, YOU
DO YOUR JOB,
YOU ACT LIKE
EVERYTHING IS FINE,
BUT INSIDE YOU'RE
TENSE ALL DAY,
WAITING FOR SOMETHING
TO HAPPEN.
THAT'S NOT WEAKNESS.
THAT'S YOUR BODY
RESPONDING TO UNCERTAINTY.
AND I DON'T
WANT YOU IGNORING
THAT ANYMORE.
BECAUSE YOU DESERVE
PEACE,
NOT JUST A
PAYCHECK.
AND SOMETIMES THE
GOAL IS NOT
JUST TO SURVIVE
THE JOB,
BUT TO RECOGNIZE
WHEN IT'S COSTING
YOU TOO MUCH MENTALLY.
IF YOU UNDERSTAND
THIS COMMENT,
PEACE.
