#AtoZChallenge: D is for Desire

When I was flailing, floundering in a toxic work environment, I didn’t know how to get out. My inner peacemaker was at war with my need to stand up for myself. I found my way out in a graceful way that honored harmony and let me survive.

I followed my curiosity to an Integrative Medicine Conference. I followed my intuition along nontraditional medicine paths, to Tai Chi and Reiki and Craniosacral Therapy. With each new skill, my energy shifted.

I followed my desire for writing by journaling every morning. I went to a week-long workshop that explored the energy of the throat chakra. This last conference was the most powerful of all.

I danced; I sang; I wrote down my intentions and burned them in a fire. I wrote a haiku; I wore the crown of an imperfect princess. Nine months later, my new business was born.


Question: Have you ever found yourself in a toxic work situation? How did you manage it? Let me know in a comment below.
