You Need To Fall Out of Love With Misery to Make Things Better
Why are you doing things you despise?
I intentionally threw myself into corporate hell.
I looked around the board room. The people around me were omens from the future. They were in their late 30s and early 40s yet already showed signs of advanced aging.
They had bags under their eyes. Their faces were drained from stress. Above all, they were never looked happy.
Some days, I thought, if I hear one more person say, “synergy” or “streamline operations”, I’m going to combust.
But I rode it out. Each day bled into the next. I sat in the same cubicle, sinking lower and lower into my chair.
I should have left sooner. But, for a bunch of reasons I never articulated, I stayed. My gluttony for punishment knew no bounds. I threw out the safe word. I took my lashing with a smile.
Just like you. Until things changed.
You love being unhealthy.
Our irritability, energy spikes, depression, and high blood pressure, have become normalized. People don’t even know what it’s like to feel healthy.
If for one week, you cut the junk, preservatives, caffeine, candy, fast food, most of you…
