What if the chaos is a sign youâve outgrown your container? Stuck, Foggy, tired and fed up with the mud around you. Instead of heading toward burnout you could do this:
Another insightful piece friend. I think I started realizing this Aquarium as you called it when I was out on medical leave last summer which was brought on by a job and boss that was toxic, and draining. While I was out I turned back to my writing hence me first going to Medium and then coming here to Substack. I did everything I could think of to avoid going back to work because I do feel even still that I have outgrown my current situation. But I am also not at the stage where I can make a leap and do what I want yet. But I am sure I can put new things in place which I have been trying to do to get closer to my writing and help me grow. This article has me thinking we can outgrow our routines, what we do daily our focus those things do sometimes need to be adjusted. This piece you wrote helped me realize that I do need to make some changes. I think it also came to be more of an issue after turning 54 last month. I am not sure why that is but is. At any rate, your piece has me reflecting and thinking about what can I do to update my plan and get out of the Aquarium. Thanks as always for sharing Daniel. This is great. :)
Bill, youâre too kind. Thank you so much for your comment on this. Iâm glad it resonates with you. Life has sometimes weird plans with us. And often the best strategy is to make a break and to think about a possible plan. Nothing overwhelming just a plan with a clear first step. Once in motion, it needs much thicker sticks to slow down the vehicle called lifeâŚ
