Eric, I'm still on a steep learning curve in my new job, even after a little over a year doing it. I have been beating myself up lately for not quite hitting the mark and was particularly feeling it this morning. I read (actually listened) to your blog and it empowered me to speak to my manager and face the issues I've been creating for myself. It was the perfect refocus for me, and he was very reassuring in how he thinks I'm doing. Thank you.
Ben - thank you for sharing this with such honesty. It really moves me deeply to hear that you were empowered to take action. Hearing the impact these written (and spoken) words have had on you is like an elixir for me that leaves me very grateful and happy.
I want to acknowledge your willingness to notice how you were feeling and experiment with something new to change how you were feeling. It's not easy to chart a different course when our brains are in "rumination overdrive" mode!
It sounds like you've opened up a different energy in how you can bring yourself to work.
