When burnt out at work, feeling exhausted, disconnected and having little impact, it’s not uncommon to think about alternatives. When I speak with people who are working with serious life issues like personal and family health matters, poverty, suicide threats and addiction, they often have fantasies of an alternative job.
Some of the work alternatives that people mention are: garden shop, florist, jewelry store and art gallery.
What fantasies of an alternative job do you have?
The list above reflects a need for beauty and what is imagined as less stressful. Dealing with serious matters that impact people’s lives in profound ways may lead you to think that aesthetics are not so important. Hmmm, beauty has a more uplifting role than you realized.
What do you do to incorporate beauty into your life? Flowers, artwork, home decor, nature photos or walks, what comes to your mind?
Back to the first question about your fantasies of an alternative job, what do you notice? What comes up as a common thread in your alternatives? It reflects something that may be missing in your life that you did not even realize. So what can you do to have more of it?
I don’t have the solution for you now. As a coach it is my job to ask questions so that you can become aware and then devise a plan. If you’re looking to partner with someone to increase your energy, live with greater ease and make your impact, contact me.Revitalize Your Life,
