Working as a Survivor - No fear or No way?

Hello @cat3survivor. Your story is both inspirational and relatable for so many non-cancer survivors even, after COVID. I completely understand the value you place on your work and how that may not be equal to that of the motivation of others around you... but that also makes you who you are and, likely, why you were hired into your dream job. That said, prioritizing your health and overall well-being is of utmost importance as well. I think the dilemma you are in is not your dream job or your health, but rather finding a company and opportunity that you can have your health be a priority and feel you are right where you want to be in your career. Perhaps this dream job was close, but that door closed so you can find the next one that allows for a bit lower stress to honor your health as well?

I challenge you to write your top 10 wish list for your life... a vision board if you will. See where your priorities take you and let that be your guiding light when it comes to where you go next on your health and professional journey. Have you done this practice before?

Thanks @amadajro . After some reflection, I realized that I am a very passionate person and after being down and out for 5 years I'm more driven now than I've ever been. I think a focus on impact over effort will enable me to achieve my goals. I've resolved, right or wrong, that health is not my top priority or problem. To the contrary, I think about my health to much! I'm surrounded by family and friends that would lead me to believe that I can't go or do anything. It's not true. I am highly capable, courageous, kind, and level-headed. When I stop over analyzing headaches, getting bored and zoning out, I'll thrive again. Cheers.
