My family situation is OK but not where I want it to be - especially because I have a toddler at home and am now worried about my career. My issue is I can’t stop focusing on the past. I lay awake at night thinking why did I leave my last role, should I have stayed, what am I going to do with my life. How do I stop looking back and get busy building my future?

As you stated you left your last job for all the right reasons..but i do understand why you would question now as your new role is not panning out.But please be gentle with yourself on this level..otherwise you will become stressed out..and that would not be helpful with a toddler at home.How many times in life have we all said ....WE SHOULD HAVE...COULD HAVE..WOULD HAVE HAVE.Try and step back from the situation....and relax...in doing that you will become more alert..on what changes you might or might not make to improve your new role.With all those thoughts rolling around in your mind at night..you are carrying overload.Would you consider giving it time to work out..as it takes time.The future is always there to go forward when you are ready.Kind Regards NORA B.

Nothing can be done to the past we can only move forward and it sounds like what you’re doing is for the best of you. Whatever comes from your future is what matters. Your past is just that something you did, not what you can go back to. Focus on building and getting ahead.
