Career Coaching: Is Work Insane?

Career Coaching: Is Work Insane? Or, are you actually behaving in an insane way about work?

Are You consistently doing the same thing over and over again and still expecting a different outcome?

Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? Do you want to stop now?

Or, do you want more of that particular lesson? You can have it you know?

Or, you could choose a different way.

.

.

Carve out some time for yourself in your favourite place…. In nature? In your favourite armchair with a fire, a glass of wine, somewhere comforting. Be away from people, distractions and all the things that you “should” do for a while.

.

Park your reservations, fears, cynicism to the side of you. They serve you well in ordinary reality, however, this is not the place for them.  You can pick them back up in a minute. Suspend your disbelief too – this too can be set aside…

.

Now, close your eyes and feel the chair rising up to meet and support you. Do a changing breath – which means a deep breath into your diaphragm and then sigh it out of your mouth. do it again, then, keeping your eyes closed, and breathing normally, begin to  Vision your perfect working day.

.

Take yourself there, imagine what you can see, hear, touch, taste, and smell. explore this vision as fully as you can. Give yourself permission to dream it in fully.

.

You may not even know the task you are doing, focus instead on the interactions you might be having, the energetic charge of the day. The nourishment that surrounds you and the things that inspire you. What are the things that give you joy?

.

This is the beginning of your future if you chose it to be…..Stick with it. Especially if the vision seems a very long way away from the reality of your work today.

Now, when you are ready gently return to the room and write into what you have just seen, to journal into the scene that you just visualised … what was important about it. What did you love? Describe it in as much detail as you can. Write new details that surface and capture the too. write for at least 3 sides of A4 in freehand and then see what you have birthed.

.

These words are the beginnings of your future.  These are the silken threads of your new reality if you should choose to follow them, be with them, keep dreaming them in, and then seek them out. What you were told about what you could and couldn’t do when you were small, whatever you people tell you now about what you can and can’t do.

.

Set these things down too – they are other people’s baggage and in no way belong to you….
