Are career transitions worth it?

Ah, the classic "it depends." Transitioning careers is like navigating a labyrinth; each turn reveals new possibilities. But here's the thing: staying put might have its perks. So, what's the real cost?

Are you sacrificing:

❌ Your happiness?
❌ Your financial goals?
❌ Quality time with family?
❌ A potentially higher paying role?
❌ Opportunities for career growth?
❌ That elusive sense of fulfillment?

Consider this your permission slip to grab a pen and make a pro/con list. ✍️ What truly matters to you right now? It's not about one-size-fits-all; it's about finding what aligns with your unique journey.

The real question isn't "Are career transitions worth it?" but rather, "Is a career transition NOT worth it?"

What’s on your pro/con list?

Work-life balance is not a 50/50 split

The idea that we should split our energy and time evenly between our professional and personal lives can create unrealistic expectations and unnecessary stress.

True work-life balance is about finding equilibrium in a way that suits your unique circumstances and priorities.

Here are some points to consider as you find your own path to balance:

1️⃣ Prioritize What Matters: Balance is about allocating your energy where it matters most. Sometimes, work demands more of you, while other times, your personal life may require greater attention. Embrace the ebb and flow.

2️⃣ Quality Over Quantity: It's not about the hours you put in but the value you derive. Focus on being present and fully engaged in whatever you're doing, whether it's work or personal time.

3️⃣ Flexibility Matters: Life is dynamic, and so should your approach to balance. Allow yourself to adapt as circumstances change, and don't be too hard on yourself when things don't align perfectly.

4️⃣ Self-Care is Vital: Remember, self-care is not selfish. Taking time for yourself, whether it's a hobby, exercise, or simply downtime, is crucial for your overall well being.

5️⃣ Seek Support: Don't hesitate to lean on your support network, both at work and in your personal life. Collaboration and delegation can help you manage your commitments effectively.

It's Train Your Brain Day, and I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than by tapping into the wisdom of Sherry McClurkin, the Brain Tamer. She shares about her work and how you can train your emotional brain. ⬇
_________

Remember the Frankenstein movies? The basic premise is mad scientist Dr. Frankenstein creates a living creature from dead people parts, creature is feared and mistreated, it rampages and kills, people trap and kill the creature, the end. With that in mind, I bet my next statement will surprise you. You have a Frankenstein’s creature in you, as do I.

I know of our emotional brain and its emotional center: the Limbic System; I’m a Trauma Therapist. Let’s call it Limby for short. Limby controls fight-flight-freeze.

You’re talking, a worry pops up, and you miss what the other person said. An unexpected touch and you jump. A certain smell and memories appear. All Limby. Limby is powerful and misunderstood. Limby may misinterpret situations, and Limby can seem like our enemy. I think you get where I’m going. Limby is our Frankenstein’s creature.

When a 3-year-old child is frightened by a dog, Limby might create a fear of all dogs, deciding to fear all dogs is safest and best for survival. That said, you can change Limby’s choices. You can interrupt and even prevent fight-flight-freeze. You can teach Limby, for example, that one dog in one situation does not mean fear all dogs. Substitute for “dog” your stress, fear, busy mind, sleepless nights, tension source. Limby makes no distinctions.

Emotional Balance, as I call guiding Limby’s choices, is the center of my life-changing, uncomplicated courses, available US-wide. They are step-by-step to teach you to train your Limby for more calm using simple, proven, brain-science based methods. You can go from anxious to calm in less than 1 minute.

On this National Train Your Brain Day, I challenge you to explore Emotional Balance. Your Limbic System does not have to be in Frankenstein’s creature mode. You can tame your brain. You can make real, lasting change and create a calmer, more focused, and more satisfying life with far less fight-flight-freeze.
