Missing my stressful job
I changed my job, but now I feel like I do not have enough to do.
Jolene, I feel the same way. I changed jobs and now I feel less productive, which increases my feelings of stress.
I am at a cross roads about continuing on in this position. Its a great job for the pay...but I do not feel as if I am contributing to the greater good and that is difficult for me as a professional.
It has been 3 years since I took this job and I do not see the pot at the end of the rainbow, much less the rainbow coming anytime soon.
Sometimes change takes some time to adjust too. When you have adapted to a high pace, high energy position and then change to a normal to slow pace, less energy required position, you may long for the hussle of the original job. Allow yourself time to adjust and to appreciate slowing down a bit. Change can be difficult but it is necessary at times.
