Ways to deal with a toxic work environment:

📍Make an exit plan. Figure out how much you need to cover your living cost and start to save.

📍Take a bridge job. It might not be your ideal job but having something in place until you find your ideal job could be better than having to risk your mental-wellbeing.

📍If you don’t want to leave, try setting boundaries for yourself and others. Make it a non-negotiable to step away from your desk for lunch or don’t over promise when your plate is already full

📍Practice more self care. Make sure you’re getting enough sleep, have a support system, or even take multiple breaks throughout the day to give your mental space.

Any other ideas how to deal with a toxic workplace? 🤔👇🏿

⭐️Healing is a process ⭐️

I know you want it to happen quickly but the truth is, it take time. Instead of rushing it, try:

📍Taking baby steps

Setting unrealistic expectations can backfire and be overwhelming or make you think you’ve failed. Making small changes (ex: practice saying no), can add up over time that help carry you through your healing.

📍Understanding setbacks may happen

You’re not a failure if a setback occurs. It’s actually normal. This is why it’s important to feel your feelings because they can stay dormant for awhile and pop up at the worst time. Practice being still and checking in with yourself. What are u feeling? Give it a name. Explore those feelings and give them space.

📍Prioritize self-compassion and self-care

Self-reflection takes time and energy. Taking time to explore is work so be sure to give a lot to yourself during this time. Pay attention to your body and be gentle with yourself. Forgive yourself for those things that you might be holding on to.

📍Asking for help

Healing doesn’t have to be done alone. Reaching out for support, guidance, and just to simply process your feelings and break them down can benefit you in your journey.

On Thursdays, there’s a post to "Ask a Therapist Thursday" question in the stories for anyone to ask a question.

There was a recent question about loneliness. Instead of giving an answer, let’s get advice from many different perspectives to help out

What's some good advice you can give this inquirer? 🤔👇🏾

Just because we get attached and comfortable in certain situations doesn’t mean we should stay. This include jobs as well.

Here are a few reasons it might be time to let it go:

📍It’s one-sided📍
You’re the only one fighting/trying to make it work

📍It’s toxic or damaging 📍
If it’s making you unhappy, miserable, cause stress and anxiety, abusive, belittling, disrespectful, and full of drama, it’s time to ✌🏽out

📍Doesn’t align with what you want📍
Sometimes people, jobs, or situations are for a reason, only for a season. After it has ran the course and things aren’t aligned with who you are now or where you want to be...it’s okay to move on

What are some other reasons to move on from a situation (including your job) 🤔
