Doechii’s new song “Anxiety” has been stuck in my head. And it’s not just the beat.
It’s the way that anxiety creeps in quietly, even when things seem fine on the outside.
Like… when your calendar is full of back-to-back meetings but your brain is on overload.
Or when you’re constantly thinking:
“Did I say the wrong thing in the text?”
“Am I doing enough?”
“Is it just me… or is this culture kind of… weird.”
At work, we talk a lot about performance, KPIs, and deadlines… but do we talk enough about the emotional load we carry while trying to meet them?
Hmmm.
We are not our anxiety. We’re allowed to pause. We’re allowed to ask for help. And no, we don’t have to have it all figured out all the time.
Happy weekend, everybody. Remember, just because we are not okay today, doesn’t mean we are not a good employee.
Tomorrow is a new day. We got this! 🫶
xoxoxo, AuntyHR
P.S. If you see me loitering around Alor Setar this weekend, don’t be anxious and come say hello 😉
