YoungHeart1980!

I hope everyone is doing okay. Busy week! I had no time to really take many breaks throughout. The week was jammed packed for me with submitting financial reports to the sponsor agencies on our research projects. One day, soon I’ll talk about my work doing research administration. It’s a very complex, regulated, and restrictive funding received to do research and finding cures. The funding comes from different agencies, federal, state, county, and local, private, industry, pharmaceutical, endowments and so many others.

Today is Friday, 13th. Many consider this day unlucky, but for me it’s a lucky 🍀 day. I’m near the end of settling an agreement with a sponsor to clear this high deficit. I still need one last thing to confirm timing and then I’m praying everyone involved will agree to and settle on finding the budget that will get us to where we need to be. We owe it to the mission and to the patients, clinical trials, training, and doctors completing their residency to go out and do amazing work.

I made progress, but comes with a high cost of both mental and physical strain. It’s funny I work in an area that relates to mental health, but I have to find my own way to breathe deep and maintain calm 😌. They offer workshops, but not at the times that are convenient for me and when do I find the time?

I was patient, observed the situations during periods of tension, analyzed, and let go of the 🖤 emotions before I responded to anyone. I did address with upper leadership my concerns of email communication from the co-worker this week. The main point addressed was I cannot assist any more than what I already do, my role is busy and adding anything additional would be unreasonable. My boss agreed and it turned out to be a lucky day for me 🙏. It’s over, let it go, and I feel better about it instead of running away from the problem and quit. I am still learning life and things don’t bother me because I choose to handle situations differently. All the Best!
