For those who get the scaries before work (toxic work environment vibes) and feel genuinely guilty or like theyâre doing something wrong by not centering work - let this episode be your reminder.Â
Not making your work your entire personality is a normal thing to do, and will save you from pain and heartarche if you get laid off or find yourself affected by lay offs (like I was and announce in todays episode)
The only person who should be centering the company is *MAYBE* the person who owns it, and the version of yourself that is clocked in and being paid to care.
Decentering work is about resisting the narrative that you need to be constantly âonâ for your place of your employment (unless you work for Tesla and are a surgeon or nurse, sorry besties).Â
When you center yourself and claim back your personal priorities, you are well on your way to stop centering fixing a deliberately broken dynamic, and are headed back home to you.
