User post: I quit my job and now I have great skin



Last Thursday, I quit my job. It's not something that I'm proud of. But when you are unhappy, 8 hours a day, every day, you must make a change.

If feel guilty saying that I'm happier now. I've never done something like this in my life. Ever. It's always been "by-the-book" and very scheduled. But now, there's this giant weight been lifted off my shoulders. I can take a deep breath without pain. I get a full 8 hours of sleep, usually more now.

Today, I enjoyed the sunlight. I enjoyed cooking dinner for tonight. I enjoyed...life.

And my body is reaping the benefits.

It's been less than a week, and my acne is practically gone, with no change to my cleaning habits. My hair is shinier, and without knots. My body physically has more energy; so much so that I actually worked out this morning for the first time in 6 months.

I am revived. And the most worrisome part of all, I'm not stressed. Is this a turning point for me, or a really early mid-life crisis? I was in the middle of buying my first home. Now, that will probably not happen. I was saving gourds of money and now it's a struggle to buy grocceries for the week.

But you know what -- I'll be OK. I have the love of a good man, two great dogs, and enough money in the bank to get a new place we can afford.

And, I have great skin and hair.

Well, back to the job search.
