Day 1️⃣4️⃣

This week I started somewhat a new agenda at work. Usually, I’m on the phone all day, but this week they wanted to see how I address emails/messages. Get a sense of my performance metrics, I guess. I tapped into emails in the beginning during my training. Was a bit overwhelming to be honest. There’s a plethora of emails going into one bucket. Challenging aspects is finding all corresponding emails associated with the one you’re working on. Wish it were simpler—address the question, close the case and move to the next. I find myself struggling more trying to find relevant emails from the same client and piece it together, than actually answering the customer’s bloody inquiry. After you close 7 emails you realize those could all have been under one, so you feel it’s a bit of time wasted. The upside is I can rock out to my tunes while typing away. Nonetheless, I’m learning to adapt, know what to seek for and how to close emails quicker. Still, unsure if the preferred duty is speaking with people over the phone or increasing my typing skills while listening to tunes.

Much like the new responsibilities from work, I feel like pivoting toward a new challenge for my fast (since loads have been shifting in my life). I’ll be removing fruits altogether in a few days and start writing down my calorie intake. Then compare my consumptions from a few weeks ago to see how far I can stretch fewer meal intakes. Today I googled nutrition facts on navel oranges, broccoli, carrots, cherry tomatoes and apples. This is what I was eating and would like to record my progress. I’ll also stop eating after 5pm. Keep myself hydrated with water and see how my body reacts. Still, I’m not certain about going for walks or cycling with minimal nutrients. Will keep a close eye on this.

Prayer-God, when I am afraid, I will put my trust in You. I know that when You are for me, nothing can stand against me! Right now, I surrender my fears to You. Please take my concerns, shame, and problems, and replace them with Your peace and truth. Protect my mind as I continue to draw close to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
