this is a tough week for me. i got laid off last week after working for 4 years at that company. there are so many things that i am excited to do, now that i have the time, but i am feeling mentally and emotionally exhausted from dealing with the layoffs that have been happening for months. it's time for me to rest and recharge now, but i don't quite know how to do that, so i'm trying to figure that out. i am struggling with a lot of self-doubt and a critical inner voice. it's hard to stay kind and motivate myself when i feel this way.

That sounds hard.

Do you meditate at all?.Sometimes it can help reset the critical inner voice.
