Personal vs professional
Back to work today and it was good to see most people and chat between clinics on the go to briefly see how everyone is doing. But it brings me always that question of how much of personal life you could reveal and if there is a division between personal and professional life? And if it is authentic to be different persons between work and outside of work?
I spend most of my days at work and hence I know that most of my life is being spent at work. Work is very personal to me and I care deeply and honestly about people at work but as I climb the ladder, I realise that I have to have boundaries and respect the boundaries of others. And whilst for most of my working life I considered people at work to be family, I realise that it should not be that way. Even if I feel safe to be that way, how could I be sure that I am not making someone else uncomfortable by caring too much or being too friendly (genuinely)?
I believe the topic needs to be dug a bit deeper but I am too tired to do it today and have other things to catch up with before I sleep!
Accountability note: I made it for day 1 by waking up at 5am and following my planned routine (with slight modulations)
