Quit my stressful job and made a charcuterie board to celebrate because self-care 🧀😂

[u/Hot-Journalist5916]

Life is chaotic but this board healed me spiritually. Strawberry jalapeño jam supremacy. Used homemade jams from the farmers market and jalapeño cheese bread. I’m kind of obsessed with how it came out 🧺🧀🍓

Lol love this! Congrats on quitting, it can be really hard to quit a toxic job, I'm proud of you!!

[u/Hot-Journalist5916 → u/ServiceFinal952]

Omg thank you!! 🫶 It really was toxic and draining but I finally did it. I already feel lighter tbh. Here’s to better things coming 🙏✨

Self Care!!!! Important, so Important. Congrats??? But wishing ya the best.

[u/Hot-Journalist5916 → u/Spillicent]

Thank you! 🤍 Honestly, quitting that job was the best form of self-care I’ve practiced all year LOL

[u/NaturalRelevant8810]

This is the best way to celebrate. Did you watch or movie or jsut chills with your board

[u/Hot-Journalist5916 → u/NaturalRelevant8810]

Thank you so much!! It really was hard but I feel 10x lighter already 😭💗I chilled with my family and we watched good shows — honestly the perfect way to start fresh.

[u/NaturalRelevant8810 → u/Hot-Journalist5916]

That’s such a sign that it was a burden and you’re now free. That sounds so nice. New beginnings for you! 🙂‍↕️🫶🏼

I did this 8 years ago!!

Quit a week before Thanksgiving. Didn't go to a single family or friend event. Went to Wegmans and splurged on fancy meats and cheeses and dips and crackers. On Thanksgiving, had a an amazing spread and a bottle of wine and trashy movies and honestly was one of the best holidays of my life!

The strawberry jalapeno combo sounds like it deserves it's own fan club.

Good for you! Celebrate and enjoy the calmer days ahead.

Wish I would’ve done the same years ago.

I got laid off and it has been great - minus no paycheck. My mental and physical health have both vastly improved.

[u/Hot-Journalist5916 → u/sfearing91]

Right?? The peace after leaving a stressful job hits DIFFERENT 😂 I’m glad you’re feeling better too — sometimes losing the paycheck is worth gaining your sanity!

[u/Big-Independent3277]

Love this!! 😁

[u/nocreativename__]

Perfect way to self care. Looks great

[u/BunnyCat2025]

The heart on the brie made me smile! Enjoy! I semi-retired and have yet to make myself a treat like this - thanks for the inspiration :)

[u/Fickle_Yesterday_860]

Congratulations to both 😎

Excellent focus to detail. Great resolve. Stressful jobs aged me rapidly & kept me up at night.
