I was let go from my job at the beginning of December. This was the first time I was fired, & I was okay with the decision because I was not happy in that environment anymore, and it was starting to show.
I left the building feeling relieved, with a renewed sense of hope for a better job and with two tote bags full of shoes. I took a taxi home & was delighted that everyone would be talking about me and sad I didn’t get to say bye to certain people.
This is how I felt in the days after:
– I felt angry
– I felt used
– I felt unappreciated
– I felt in despair
– I felt lonely
– I felt like a failure
After you sit and stew in what happened, resentful emotions come out to play. I sought for advice, and it was to not focus on how I felt, but to focus on how I wanted to feel.
– I wanted to feel supported
– I wanted to feel energetic
– I wanted to feel loved
– I wanted to feel excited
– I wanted to feel involved
– I wanted to feel content
