tuliplander I’d never realised how much people were triggered by corporate lives until I started sharing my corporate girly diaries on Instagram.

“Why are you wasting your life on this?”
“Do you realize that work is not the most important thing?”
“Hope this life never finds me, it’s depressing!”
“I did corporate just like you, you are heading towards burnout, trust me.”

I’m sorry, but did I miss the memo when we all stopped working and skipping our mortgage payments, travel expenses, restaurant bills and new clothing collection receipts?

Also, if you did corporate and hated it, you realise that your journey is not the only option, right? You can actually find a job (tasks, people, values, perks) you enjoy and yes, it can still be challenging, exhausting and draining because no one promised it’d be easy.

What’s important is to be in line with what you want and choose for yourself.
I choose normalizing 9 to 5 on social media, because I have a luxury of doing so. If you don’t like this for you, I respect that.

But I choose my way.

tuliplander Past couple of month have been quite intense, if I am honest. Corporate days can be exhausting and draining (you can legit see it in the video).

So when I learnt that there is a dedicated “How to manage your stress at work” session that the company organised on a mental health day, I moved all my meetings to attend this one. Saying out loud that you are under too much stress in front of your colleagues is not an easy task but then again I didn’t come to the session to seem resilient. I actually came to get some help.

The reason I decided to share it on Instagram is because it’s a beautiful place where we tend to share our highlights, but I wanted you to know that life on the other side of the screen can be stressful, so we are in it together ♥️

Here are the signs of chronic stress:
- gut issues
- High blood pressure
- Anxiety
- Feeling overwhelmed
- Being indecisive
- Mood swings
- Sleep issues
- Working too much
- Inability to relax or enjoy your favourite activities

And here are the stress management tools I now use in my CORPORATE life that I hope would be helpful for you as well:

- Prioritise tasks & manage time - I started to assign time to every task I’m taking which helps me fight the feeling that I’m overwhelmed
- Set clear boundaries
- Take micro-breaks to reset - I use Pomodoro website to help with that
- Review workload with your manager
- Agree on realistic deadlines
- Build peer support
- Use breathing techniques when feeling overwhelmed
- Communicate needs

I started doing these religiously and I can tell you that I finally got back that feeling that I’m in control of my tasks, time and responsibilities.

Let me know in the comments if you have other tools/tips on how to manage the stress at work?
♥️

tuliplander - Do you know devil wears Prada?
- Yep, love it, why?
- If I could recommend to you one thing in Milan, you need to walk around Duomo, they’ve started shooting the second part in Milan since last week.

I have to admit, that’s the most unexpected reco I’ve ever received from a colleague 😄 But life is full of surprises, so if you see your corporate girlie here passing by Meryl Streep & Anne Hathaway, you will know why.

From Milan, with love.

tuliplander Trying to balance the notorious 9 to 5 with a worthy 5 to 9 :)

There are days when I fail and days when I succeed. Luckily today was the latter.

Hope you also had a good one ♥️

tuliplander A full working day in my life as a 30+ corporate girlie in Amsterdam ♥️🤓 Somewhere between meeting deadlines and making dinner :)

tuliplander There is so much charm and family history soaked into every corner of this beautiful farm house - from tea cups stored in a suitcase to knick-knacks covering every shelf you stumble upon.

Feeling lucky to have found shelter in this place ♥️

Would you stay here for a rainy autumn night? 🧶🧦

tuliplander So I guess there is a first time for everything 😄♥️
Any idea where we’ll end up this time??

tuliplander - Depressing, may this type of work never finds me.
- Amen ♥️, - I had to reply in support

By far it’s the best reaction I got to my “Corporate girlie diaries” 😁

Fun, how 9 to 5 lives are still demonized or viewed as dull online when WE ARE the majority of the platform users.

If you ask me, I find this new chapter in my content creation quite liberating, as I get to show that I don’t just take beautiful shots and sip yummy lattes, inbetween all those fun blogging activities (which I love :) I actually have a corporate life.

It all got me thinking about you, on the other side of the screen, so can you tell me if you are a:
- corporate baddie,
- Self-employed rockstar,
- Stay at home super mom,
- Or currently not working because life happens?
