I figure that I will keep doing reflections based on my school semesters. My MBA semesters are only 10 weeks, so I will have to keep up with this diligently!
So far I am starting out strong with my MBA with two A’s in both economics and financial accounting. I enjoyed both classes thoroughly. Economics taught me a lot about the theory of business and how businesses act in their best interest. I think my favorite concept is the Adam Smith Invisible Hand theory. It says that if people and businesses act in their own selfish interests, then society will benefit. My financial accounting class was a little more math-focused, but I still got a lot out of it too. I learned how to keep track of finances in and out which will definitely help me when I start my business.
At least in terms of work, I started my new role and it is going well. I have had many instances where I fight with my imposter syndrome because I worry that what I am doing is not what my bosses had in mind when they gave me the role. However, the more I openly discuss what I find, the more I recognize that I am wrong. I do notice that I struggle from time to time to get stuff done. I drag my feet, especially when it requires me to get outside of my comfort zone. However, I have noticed recently that I am far more comfortable with things that I used to not be. From talking to people to attending social events, I do not have the same butterfly feeling as much anymore. I think this might be a product of my walk and talk with the CEO. If I could be comfortable doing that, what else out there can scare me socially speaking? I probably will have another post about the walk and talk, so I will keep it at that for now.
We learned at my company that the general manager is retiring. I am pretty disappointed by this, but I am excited for him. It brings forward the anticipation of what the new GM will be like.
I kept strong with my 5 am practices although recently I need to get a little better. I realized that time is something that is harder and harder to come by the older we get. I think the MBA and work are both teaching me the importance of increments. I do not have the luxury of time to binge out doing an art project or watching TV. So I need to be okay with doing things in increments. I think that is going well.
I started to go to a pranic healer and have been learning a bit about my energy body. That is probably another good topic for a different post at some point, but I have noticed that I am a lot less stressed or anxious than I used to be. I attribute this to my pranic healing.
In terms of social stuff, we went to a wedding last month and there is another one on the way! I need to do better and reach out to my friends and check in on them.
Aside from all of that, I think there is not much else to report from these past few months.
