The "unexpected emotions" that came after quitting

Retirement is not just "refreshing,"

There is a sense of freedom and loss at the same time.

I was confused at that time,

Looking back, it was also "proof that I have worked hard."

People who quit from now on,

Some people have already quit.

No matter what feelings rush in, it's okay.

Because it is a "break" to advance to the future 🍀

SNS starts from inexperience 🌱

Women who are worried about money, time and work style,

... Read more退職を経験すると、想像以上に心の中が揺れ動きます。私も17年間勤めた職場を離れる決断をした際、ただの終わりだと思っていたのに、数日間は激しい喪失感に襲われ、本当にこれでよかったのかと戸惑いました。 その時重要だったのは、「辞める理由は誰のせいでもない」という自覚です。周囲の期待や状況に左右されず、自分の意思で選んだ道だと受け止めることで、心のモヤモヤを整理しやすくなりました。 さらに、辞める際に感謝の気持ちや職場で感じた課題を正直に伝えることも心の整理に役立ちました。泣きながらも最後は笑顔で去る決意が、未来への新たなスタートに繋がったのです。 私の場合は、夫から「今は苦しいけどずっと続く感情じゃない」と言われたことが大きな支えとなりました。退職は「失う寂しさ」と「未来への解放感」が同時に訪れるもの。どちらの感情も自然なものであり、自分が頑張ってきた証拠だと理解できました。 これから退職を考えている方へ。どんな感情が押し寄せても大丈夫です。喪失感を感じることは、あなたがそれだけ大切なものを持っていた証しです。そして、その気持ちを大切にしながら、未来に向かって新しい一歩を踏み出してください。今があなたの人生で一番若く、可能性に満ちています。
