This might be a slight rant and I don't know how long it will go but here it goes...
I don't like my attitude lately. I've always been a very positive and optimistic person. Ready for any challenge. I am a true believer of the growth mindset vs the fix mindset, and I am all about the growth mindset. I enjoy growing and becoming better at things. I appreciate feedback. I know I am a work in progress and always will be.
But lately...lately I feel like I have taken a step back.
Every day at work (yes, still in the slowlane and maybe this is a big reason why) I feel the dread to go to work. I enjoy talking to my coworkers and I am overly positive and cheerful (for the most part) at work. But lately everything is...heavy. I feel absolutely burned out and it is like my mind is VERY foggy. It is almost hard to concentrate on anything for a long period of time because I barely have the energy to do so.
I currently live in a very busy HCOL city. One of the "top" cities in the US. I believe the fact that there are so many people and the fact that the weather has basically sucked all year also has a big part to do with it.
I'm also a big believer in Extreme Ownership (really good book btw) but lately I haven't been taking that much ownership about basically anything. My team has been hard to deal with it but how much is it my fault? I just don't know what I should do to fix it. Or change it.
I also feel a bit overwhelmed and stuck. I know I want to get out of the slowlane and have my own freedom. But I have quite a few limited believes and soooo many excuses in my head. So I feel that also has a lot to do with it.
Anyway...I just felt like I needed to rant a bit in case someone else has gone through something similar. In very basic terms: I get frustrated quickly, it is hard to focus or dedicate much energy to work, and in general I'm just exhausted and burned out about it all.
