The itch I couldn\u2019t scratch is what I see now as purpose or my personal mission and I wasn\u2019t living my truth.<\/p>\n<p>While I was good at the job I was doing, a lot of my most <a href=\"https:\/\/internalgroove.com\/2023dev\/cue-you\/\">unique gifts and talents<\/a> were sitting on a shelf as were my deepest values and the things and people I truly cared about.<\/p>\n<h2>Can you relate?<\/h2>\n<p>If so, I\u2019m here to tell you it\u2019s not a bad thing. It\u2019s simply a reminder that you have something bigger to do with your life and career.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s time to stretch yourself. I also want you to know it IS possible to start building a more fulfilling work life without leaving your current company, if that\u2019s what\u2019s right for you.<\/p>\n<h2>If you\u2019re restless in your current job,<\/h2>\n<p>it\u2019s not too soon to start taking steps toward more fulfillment and I\u2019m here to make it easier for you.<\/p>\n<p>This way you won\u2019t have to heal the same bumps and bruises I did when I quit without having a plan for the future. (Yes, I told my colleagues I was going to be a bartender in a beach hut in Puerto Vallarta facing the ocean while the patrons would be facing the building. I wasn\u2019t kidding&#8230;all except I hadn\u2019t discussed this with my new husband or the lender we just signed a mortgage with.)<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>First tip: don\u2019t wait until you\u2019re so miserable or having physical symptoms of stress that you can\u2019t think straight to take action. There is a less traumatic way to go about creatively <a href=\"https:\/\/internalgroove.com\/2023dev\/build-foundation\/\">designing your dream job<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>One of the best places to start is to honestly examine your mental and emotional habits and patterns.<\/h2>\n<p>We have a tendency to blame external circumstances when we\u2019re unsatisfied.<\/p>\n<p>And while there may be some validity to that, I have found that much of the work that needs to be done is around our own behaviors, work style and what we\u2019re not saying out loud. Focusing your attention within will have the most profound and lasting impact on your efforts to create more joy and satisfaction in your life.<\/p>\n<h2>Here are a few questions to ask yourself to start:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>How do I bring myself to the work I do?<\/li>\n<li>What is unique about me?<\/li>\n<li>How do I contribute to my own burnout?<\/li>\n<li>Do I prefer to work solo or in a group?<\/li>\n<li>Do I like to lead and am I truly doing that?<\/li>\n<li>Do I trust myself?<\/li>\n<li>What do I care the most about?<\/li>\n<li>What are my greatest gifts\/strengths?<\/li>\n<li>Am I still growing and inspired to do the work I do?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you\u2019re having trouble answering some of these questions, start there.<\/p>\n<h2>These are some ways you can begin to design a career path that\u2019s based on your truth.<\/h2>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve gotten an idea of what\u2019s missing, see if you can come up with some ways you can start integrating that truth in your current job.<\/p>\n<p>Is there a project you\u2019d like to start?<\/p>\n<p>Can you optimize an existing system so it runs more efficiently?<\/p>\n<p>Is there another department or a particular team you\u2019d like to work with?<\/p>\n<p>Could you straddle two departments?<\/p>\n<p>Is there a role you\u2019ve had your eye on?<\/p>\n<p>Do you have creative ideas and solutions to propose?<\/p>\n<h2>Craft a conversation with your supervisor or employer that presents your ideas in a way that offers them value.<\/h2>\n<p>In other words, how can you put your unique gifts to work in a way that will benefit the company, the department, the bottom line and the person you\u2019re proposing the plan to? They are more likely to be receptive if they can clearly see there\u2019s something in it for them.<\/p>\n<p>And if you realize after answering these questions that you simply want to find another position, now you have a great place to start.<\/p>\n<p>NOW is the time to start making choices in your life so you can live your truth!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is your work situation uncertain or frustrating you?<\/strong> Are you without a job or wisely thinking a current furlough may be just the hidden gift to start exploring work you\u2019re truly meant to do? Do you hate your job, but have no idea what to do instead? Attempting to navigate those waters without support is not fun (yes, I do know, but that\u2019s another story).
