On my first day at work, I look at our compatibility reading again
With my first day at a new job coming up, my mind is on work. I look at our compatibility reading again, wondering if we can keep the life we’ve built…
Scenes
- On my first day at work, I look at our compatibility reading again — The night before my first day, I can’t sleep, thinking about my new job. I wonder if life with my partner will change, so I open our compatibility reading again.
- I read the reading, then open it again — The reading describes different temperaments. The more I read, the more I wonder how we’ll find our rhythm after I start work.
- I start thinking about after work — On my first day, I couldn’t leave on time. I started thinking about how that might mean less time with my partner in the evenings.
- I use the reading to explore what matters — A compatibility reading can help us reflect on what matters to each of us. Instead of looking for an answer, we can consider what we each want to hold on to in work and love.
- Write one line about what you want to hold on to — Tonight, write one sentence about what you want to hold on to as you start your new job and share life with your partner. Your own priorities may come into view before any answers do.
- After the first week, I open it again — After the first week, place the sentence you wrote beside the compatibility reading and read them together. You can look at what changed in daily life and what you wanted to hold on to.
