It is not without trepidation that I’m consciously switching from the corporate ‘high gear’ to the unemployed ‘low gear’. By ‘low gear’, I mean that I am consciously not looking for another job. I am, in fact, avoiding discussing job possibilities with anyone in my industry or profession. I do not want to jump into doing ‘stuff’ in order to fill my days or put money in the bank account.
How many people have you heard say lately: “Gosh! I LOVE my job!” (Unless, of course, they are still in the honeymoon phase of a new job or received a big whopper bonus!) A while back, I was someone who said that. Once that changed, I knew that I had to do something, either in my role, my relationship with my employer, or my mindset. Ultimately, I chose to change all three.
Of course, not everyone has the luxury to jump off the high-speed work train. There are, however, some things that we can all do to make our work more aligned with what we would really enjoy. This takes courage and a lot of self-awareness of what we really want and don’t want.
Stay tuned!!...more on this later…
