Welcome back to TLC Thursday. I am your Host and Coach Christal Fuentes, and every
week we come out with videos that will hopefully expand your heart and expand
your mind. While making your life a little easier.
Are you questioning whether you should quit your job? If you're watching this
video, I'm gonna say that you might be questioning it a bit, right? Well just so
you know and you don't feel alone, 70% of people in just The States absolutely
hate going to work. Damn, that's a lot of people right? Sure we are often taught
the mediocre way of dealing with work, which is to just deal with it. But here's
a problem. We all have a craving inside of us to feel much more than bored,
useless, frustrated, or unfulfilled, and the more we try to suppress that desire
the more conflict we build within. But there's something I must tell you,
because as much as we all want a passionate life, love, and career, you have
to remember that the common denominator of happiness and passion is you. What
does that mean? It means that what you do is separate from who you are, and it's
your responsibility to bring who you are to what you do. You don't have to have
the job of your dreams, or feel absolutely passionate about going to
work, but you also can't be miserable, so let's get into a few things to think
about before quitting your job.
Number One: How do you show up to work?
As we've said before, you are responsible for the energy you bring into this space. Okay
well Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor said that, but so often we complain about what's not
working around us, that we don't take in consideration the type of energy and
vibe we bring into our environment. When that can also add to the cause and
effect of each situation.
Number Two: What would have to happen to make work feel better?
Get clear on what would make your work situation better.
So often we over generalize what's not working for us, when really it could just
be one small tweak or fix that would greatly enhance our situation. But you
have to get clear on what that would be. And again what do you have to do to be a
part of that change?
Number Three: What does your job do for you, that you may have forgotten?
This is important one of the biggest reasons we
despise our job, is because we think it's not serving us and when we feel we are
doing something with no benefit at all. It will start to make us feel stuck and
worse, like we're working for our jobs instead of the other way around. So let's
get into a state of gratitude, and write down three things your job does for you.
Whether it's paying for your bills, putting a roof over your head, providing
for your family, or a stepping-stone for the job of your dreams, become aware of
what your job actually does for you. If we start taking control of how we show
up, and how our jobs actually do serve a grander purpose, we might begin to change
our negative belief about it into something more powerful. Now some of you
might be yelling at the screen saying "My job does nothing for me!" And if this is
the truth, and you feel every day this job compromises who you, then it's
probably best that you do quit.
"Yeah, well I'm not made of money you know. Money
doesn't grow on trees. Yeah yeah, I understand that.
Uh-huh yeah, I get it but listen you tell that S.O.B. that if that's not on my desk by
9:00 a.m. I'll help him pack up his desk."
"Christal, Christal... Coffee! Christal, coffee! I need to fire her."
This is obviously a bold statement, but the truth is we spend
roughly two thousand hours of our lives at work, and if two thousand hours are
spent miserable imagine what that does to your health, your spirit, and your
purpose. It's horrible right? And nobody has time for that.
As you know TLC is all about relationships, and how we look at our job
is no different from any other relationship in our lives. Like all of
our relationships, we must understand what's serving us, what's not serving us,
or see how we ourselves can make a difference. If we come to the conclusion
that any of our relationships do not serve us, then saying goodbye might be
the best thing to do. Now let's hear from you, do you have a
story of a time you quit your job, and it ended up feeling really good? We'd love to
hear your insights and knowledge, so we can all learn from it. So comment below!
