You are doing the things that will help you with maintaining a work-life balance: journaling, looking forward to things (Jefferson called it the pursuit of happiness), focusing on the positives at work, and being creative outside of work (love your plastic container garden). Nice to get to experience a Renaissance Faire (shaved ice doesn't belong there.. 🙂)

It looks like you are in the Pacific Northwest!

Your title instantly drew me in as I always dream of vanlife and escaping the need for constant work and money. So it’s intriguing that you are coming from vanlife instead. I am struggling with dealing with coworkers and having a boss. It’s a reoccurring issue for me and I usually feel the solution is to just quit. That isn’t always sustainable so I am learning to redirect my focus to my passions and hobbies when I’m not at work. As well as try to adopt a “ let them” attitude towards anyone who is troubling me. So if they are talking shit, just “let them” as the result will eventually have consequences. You relinquish control or any need to control that environment. Focus on the nice people and things at work instead as they deserve your attention more than the negative people.

100%! Life is a struggle sometimes but it’s part of the whole adventure I guess to figure out how to deal hahaha

Idk if this is useful at all but!!! When I do my grocery shopping, I always get take out on those nights because the combo of shopping and having to cook is too stressful. It’s helped a lot. I also always clean on fridays that way I don’t feel guilty about my messy house and can just enjoy my weekend. I love your videos! Looking forward to more 😊

Thank u (:

I know it is a good idea to beef up that resume with staying at a job for a longer duration but in my experience sometimes that is not worth it. It doesn't hurt to apply to more jobs in the meantime and hopefully find some place that treats you better. Interview processes can be time consuming.

I appreciate this!

Great video, wishing you much success as a "KZreadr"
