做一個不懂事的大人

上班第四個月,適逢年尾,馬來西亞office下個月搞年宴。

理性知道這是個見所有Stakeholders的好場合,因為工作是remote,大部分的我們都是「網友」形式一起工作,能夠face to face見面,無疑是增進熟悉感的渠道。

但作為一個I人,我對這些大場面感到恐懼。非常不想去面對人群,在內心掙扎和內耗了好幾日。

昨日跟B聊起此事,她說:「不想去就不要去。我們要讓自己開心,做個不懂事的大人也沒有不可以。」

當頭棒喝。

為什麼我要計算利弊這麼多,回歸根本,做讓我自己開心的事才是最重要。不去那個場合又如何,也不會讓我失去工作吧,所以還是別讓計較得失的猴子出來擾亂,做個不懂事的大人吧。只要內心覺得舒服,就什麼也不重要了。

Strong Energy

决定去继续Reiki的课程,当作是给自己的心灵一个charge电的空间。想要平静,为这些日子的不安骚动,找一个方式好好停下来,梳理整齐。

导师收到我的报名,发来讯息问我最近如何。我几乎毫无防备的就回答:I'm doing not bad, but constantly feel I'm like a small ship shaking in the ocean 😅

这大概是最近的常出现的自我察觉,但我从没有跟人提起过。做了几次Reiki和静坐,都难以平静这种骚动。

导师说:These months are strong planet energy.

她说过今年地球有很强的转变能量,很多人事物会有改变或正在变。的确,在我和我身边的人都在经历不同程度的改变。我希望在这个翻腾汹涌的大海,能平静稳阵的继续行驶,跨过那些风浪,保持内心稳妥。

我很想一个人听我讲这些没有理据,没有逻辑的想法,这些我因为能量而产生的各种感受。但我,竟然找不到一个人说。有点悲哀。

想好好記住

想好好記住這陣子的一些想法:

1. 答應自己開始這份新工作時候要Do thing differently,不需做到自己認為的滿分,我一貫的自我認同滿分,通常是別人的150;我不用凡事太用力,能做到自我認為的80已經是一般人的100。記住這點。

2. 記得每個Small win,無論有多small, it's matter。

3. 不要再feel guilty and feeling I'm being lazy, it is take a slow pace, which is totally fine.

4. 工作上所有的KPI不是生命全部,只要盡力去做,達標與否其實不是衡量努力的一切。如果上司只在乎結果而看不見其他的努力, That's fine, your life still goes on. What's matter is you know you.

5. 記得每一個不需要靠藥物而能自己入睡的夜晚,即時入睡是半夜兩點。依然是非常了不起的成就。

6. 記得每個艱難想放棄的時候,自己叫自己再堅持多一秒的當下,記得那份勇氣和自己願意堅持的努力。撐多了一秒都是small win, it's matter。

Advanced

日籍瑜珈老師再次提我是時候去上Advance class, 學習更多和更深入。 

“You are ready” 她說。

跟隨她學習Iyengar Yoga近兩年,她常常要我們注重很多的細節,漸漸在某一日我竟然可以做到headstand,再做到好幾個back bend的pose,都是係我以前從來做不到的或有困難去做到的。

原來那些埋頭努力去張開的肌肉,酸痛的身體部位都是積累,讓我在不察覺之間開始有力量,很多pose變得輕易了。

記得自己剛開始不久就去膽粗粗參加了advance class, 持著自己也上了好幾年瑜珈,但Kazumi直言這是advance的班it might be a bit challenging for you。結果那堂課果真很challenging。

當下無地自容覺得自己「拿來衰」,自從只敢去beginner class, 直到這一年, Kazumi建議我可以去advance class了。

Kazumi常常說Yoga is about connect mind, soul and body. You need to focus to work on your connection, and focus so much on the details. You will build up the strength, and you will find your Samadhi moment.

是這些積累一點一滴讓我看見自己原來可以做到,她第一次叫我開始去上advance class的時候我不信自己的能力因為記得無地自容的那次;埋頭繼續上初學者班的這一年,Kazumi再一次提我可以去advance class了。

我竊喜,因為這是一種肯定。而這種肯定,比起工作或其他生活的肯定,更讓我開心。

八月

原來已經八月,最近有很多思緒想寫下來,卻常被其他事耽擱,然後就一直擱置。

對上一次在這裡寫下的隻字片語是在五月,那時候應該是接受了現在這份工作。

新工作其實挺不錯,來到四十歲,覺得自己變得從容很多。上班前跟自己說了要Do things differently,所以很有意識的提醒自己不要再像過去那樣出盡150%力才叫做有表現。

慢下來之後,反而察覺有很多時間可以思考,常常在一些休息的時候會有些想法湧現,該做的策略也慢慢浮上來。

某日跟上司談論工作以及我打算落實的策略,他突然跟我說:不要害怕犯錯,只需去做你認為對的事,有什麼後果我會頂著,我頂不到了讓director出來頂。

當下覺得有些感動。

成年人在職場常會遇到很多仆街,但我算是十分有幸,投入工作十幾年所遇見的上司,幾乎對我都是賞識有加,常鼓勵我去做我認為對的事。

對自己的職涯好像有了更進一步的思考和計劃,在未來幾年有了想好好達到的目標。

為此覺得高興。

Life is rich

Some said "If things looks good but feel wrong, it is not." 

That's hit me and cause me think more about the situation that I am in since a year ago; finally decided to left a toxic manager is best decision I made. 

No regret although there is moment I can't help but self doubt about my decision whether rational, it took many day & night to acknowledge that money isn't the only measurement. 

4 months break, it bring back the sense about how living a life feel like. It is something I did not pay attention since start my career and live as responsible adult. 

For many years, I live like a turbines that work in full force. I have my schedule fill up with many stuffs. As introvert person in real life, I never give much time and effort for the real me. Instead, I gave whole my energy to maintained the social character that everyone knows. The lost of boundary caused burn out and I finally realist I could not run away from the problem.

I took year and year on therapy, medicine and regular exercise to try get back the control of my minds, stay a little healthier and perhaps positive.
I appreciate the courage I show to myself, the effort I took to protect myself. 

After all, it worth. 

One journey end, I am about start a new journey, and I will do thing differently this time. I remind myself when things get difficult, remember the whole journey I go through, do not walk away from problem, keep asking myself if I have try enough. And, let go when I can finally answer myself.

Thanks for all my friends, sending me love, checking on me from time to time, tell me how they feel and see me, keep remind me who am I when I in doubt; I feel loved, supported. 

I can't be grateful enough. Life is rich.
