Hi guys and welcome back to Mindful Psychology.
Today we are going to talk about how to escape the 9 to 5 life? So before starting this video,
please like this video and subscribe to this channel for our future updates,
and turn on the notification bell for more videos like this if you haven't already.
We all hate 9 to 5 grind but don’t worry we are to tell you how to escape 9 to 5 life? So stick
to the video till the end to know much more. In the minds of millennials, the traditional
nine-to-five work-life balance was instilled in them after years of witnessing their parents
drift through 50 years of the corporate grind with little to show for it. Work-life balance
is constantly important to millennials, with an increased emphasis on the word
"life." They want to be their bosses and are turning toward freelancing,
contractor work, and entrepreneurial employment, in contrast to their parent's generation.
Although millennials are the primary drivers of the movement, the desire to break away from
the 9-to-5 grind is not limited to them. It is widespread throughout all generations.
According to the MetLife Annual Employee Benefits Trend Study, 57 percent of workers express
an interest in freelancing, with millennials expressing a 77 percent interest in freelancing
work rather than full-time employment, a figure that is significantly higher than
interest expressed by Generation X (57 percent) and Baby Boomers (43 percent) respectively.
Additionally, 52 percent of employees believe that maintaining a healthy work-life balance
is critical to their performance and capacity to thrive in the workplace, making it the second most
frequently mentioned factor in achieving success after hard work. Because the economy is shifting
to a majority of contract workers rather than full-time employees, analyzing possibilities to
break away from the 9-to-5 grind can provide both difficult problems and rewarding opportunities.
Shifting Career Paths Can Be Challenging But Opportunities Await.
The stability that comes with full-time employment is one of the most appealing aspects of the job.
From the regular payments and comfort with your position to continuing the career path
you studied to attain, it all adds up to a secure road that the majority of people choose to stay
on and continue their lives. Deciding to forego the routine of your everyday life
and embark on a new job path might be a surprising and intimidating notion.
Transitioning to a new career through contract employment or freelancing, on the other hand,
does not have to be a traumatic experience.
Many successful entrepreneurs and contractors start small, working on projects in their leisure
time, before deciding to make the entire leap to a different work style and establishing their own
business. Similarly, skills can be transferred to projects that enhance your abilities,
sometimes even bringing abilities to the forefront that you were previously unaware of.
"In business, your mindset is one of the most important elements to consider. Be obsessively
focused on adding value. Kevin David, a successful entrepreneur, and YouTuber thinks that money
always finds you when you aren't looking for it. "Rather of focusing on money, focus on impact and
making a difference," he says. David pushes people to achieve financial independence by
rethinking the standard approach of exchanging one hour for "X" dollars and thinking outside the box.
There are a plethora of opportunities to make a living that is not associated with traditional
employer/employee job environments. To pursue an alternative career, it is critical to conduct a
thorough study and to keep your abilities up to date through continuous learning.
There has never been a time when there were so many online sites for learning new facts
and crafts. Simply attempting to expand your knowledge base through the use of such tools
might have a significant impact on your entrepreneurial endeavors.
When it comes to words, they have tremendous power. When you speak, your words have the
potential to not only impact others but also to transform your internal state on a profound level,
depending on how you say them. Do you want peace in your life?
Do you want to look more positive in your life? Do you want to achieve your dreams? You can all
do it with affirmations. To know how, please check the link in the description box below.
Working from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. made sense when businesses were smaller and less connected by
technology. However, today's business is global and digital. Organizations of all sizes deal
with clients all around the world, and many have offices that are located in different time zones.
In these situations, restricting employees to a 9 to 5 schedule for consistency
no longer makes sense. Why should you have to stick to an eight-hour workday if your clients
and coworkers aren't on the same schedule? What if you could work whenever you wanted,
whether it was early in the morning or late at night? What if you could achieve more by
taking control of your work hours in the same way you've taken control of your free time?
How a Flexible Lifestyle Can Assist You in Achieving Your Goals?
It's not simple to break free from a standard working approach,
but it’s well worth it. When your workplace permits you to work flexibly,
or you establish your own business and permit yourself, the world opens up to you.
You can begin arranging your days to maximize your time, allow yourself to define,
possibly for the first time, what your ideal life looks like - and then live it.
Imagine being able to fit in that long-overdue dentist appointment on a weekday because you
have the flexibility to work at any time. Consider how much it would mean to you if you could finally
take that yoga class you've been meaning to attend but couldn't since it was only given during the
workday. Every night, imagine yourself hitting the pillow and thinking, "Today was a day well-lived."
‍These are just a few examples of how living a flexible lifestyle can help you
do more every day. Here are several more: When you're at your most productive, work.
Have you ever arrived at work at 9 a.m. on the dot, knowing that you wouldn't be
productive until at least 11 a.m.? Or did you go up on time with the perspective that
you'd already squandered your most productive hours of the day eating breakfast and drinking
coffee until it was time to depart for work? Every professional works best at a specific time,
and it's apparent that a 9 to 5 schedule doesn't work for everyone. Sure, there will be some
overlap between each employee's most productive period and the usual workday, but wouldn't it be
better for the company if everyone could focus on their deliverables when they were at their best?
It's up to you as an employee to make sure you're meeting deadlines and achieving your objectives,
but being able to live a flexible lifestyle will help you get more done in less time. You'll be
able to complete your job more efficiently and effectively if you schedule your day so that you
may work when you're most productive, allowing time in your day for the other aspects of your
life that you're enthusiastic about. Make your passions a priority.
Flexibility not only means you'll be able to do more professionally, but it also means you'll be
able to reach more personal goals, resulting in a well-rounded, truly pleased human.
For some, this may imply a greater emphasis on health and wellness.
Once you've gotten away from the 9-to-5 grind, you could find that you have more time to meditate
in the mornings, go to a noon kickboxing class, or cook healthy dinners regularly.
A side hustle is a driving factor for flexibility for others. Even if you devote your finest hours
of the day to your major job, you'll still have plenty of time to devote to your side hustle.
A UX designer, for example, could concentrate on client tasks in the mornings and then
create goods for her Etsy shop at night. A flexible lifestyle can be more fluid and
adjust to the day's needs rather than scheduling an eight-hour work period in the middle of the day
(leaving little time to focus on anything outside of your professional area).
Be present at the moment. Finally, a flexible lifestyle
permits you to say "yes" to unexpected chances. The fact that you're confined
to one work for an extended time is a big part of what makes a 9 to 5 schedule so oppressive.
When a mentor's schedule suddenly opens up, you won't be able to book a coffee date with them.
As a 9-to-5 employee, you won't have access to opportunities like long-term travel.
Getting rid of that constrictive frame of mind helps you to consider new alternatives
for your life. People are working remotely while traveling around the world right now,
cramming in experiences that will last a lifetime between client calls.
That life is conceivable for them, and it is also possible for you.
