Recently, I have been having issues at work. The issues mainly have to do with a toxic work environment. I have been struggling with this environment for the past four months. Each week it seems to spiral farther downwards. It is draining.
Luckily today I had a personal breakthrough. I was able, for the first time, to really take a step back and look at the situation to try to find a positive item in all the negativity. I found one! I realized today that I have become more confident and have found my voice to speak up. With all the added responsibilities, I thought I was just doing what I had to do, but really I was growing. In the process of doing my new tasks I have found a piece of myself that was missing or maybe just locked away waiting for the right moment to come out.
