RE: Retirement or IKIGAI? ... IKI - what?
Oh my goodness, dear sweet Paloma 🤗That sounds like you went through a terrible experience; I can understand how that knocked you so badly 😔 Nobody should have to go through anything like that. But I am so pleased that you are no longer working in that toxic environment even though you were pushed, it sounds like it wasn't nurturing you and definitely not worth the pain. Please don't lose self-belief. You are an amazing person, a strong woman, and incredibly kind and supportive of those around you. I hope Hive brings you much joy and prosperity and maybe in time you find that role that you want to pursue again. You and @beeber have truly given me a lot of food for thought !LUV you too!!! 💗🙏

Hi dear @samsmith1971 :-) this is also the reply to your other comment
Think in your children you already found important part of your ikigai! But If I read right between your lines, your actual job is far away from something you love? Thats Not good in a long run.
Reading @palomap3 s lines and looking at my actual situation, being healthy and staying healthy ist the highest good we can have.
Me too stayed too long in a exhausting hamster wheel. When I changed this 2 years ago I could do by decreasing my monthly bills. Now living in the family house again, having 2 rooms and my balcony for me is much more than most people on earth have. Though this is not the way most people think it should be in my age!
But it helped me to come from monthly 1500 Eur fix costs only for rent and insurances, down to 300 !
This gave me a lot of freedom. We often dont see how our western lifestyle causes the hamsterwheel.
Of course in this case having no children to feed made it easier.
Selflove, selfcare and as palomap wrote selfesteem, its so important to find and try to celebrate them in every Moment.
Really hope you find a way or another job so you get the Feeling life is great and Feeling totaly fine right now.
