How to Know When it's Time To Switch Things Up
When do you know it’s time to switch things up?
Well…
- When you feel exhausted from working somewhere you hate.
- When a glass of wine (or three) at the end of the day isn’t enough to keep you from dreading going to the office.
- When you feel like you’re giving your job your all with little to no reward.
It’s difficult having to show up, force a smile, and excel in an environment that makes you want to pull your hair out. Luckily, if you feel stuck in a career rut there are ways to curb the fatigue and find something to move toward.
1. Take ownership to change things up
Don’t be satisfied with letting yourself be miserable for another, day, month, or year! Take ownership of those feelings (they are valid) but also take responsibility in trying to see how you can make changes so getting up and going to work feel less like a chore. You are here (in this current situation) for a reason, to learn something from that situation.
“Until you learn what you need to learn (from that situation), don’t expect to move forward.”
Life is about learning lessons for our greatest good. And sometimes the best gifts come inside an ugly wrapping… Be willing to open up the ugly wrapping and look deeper into what your current situation is really teaching you…
2. Do some soul-searching
Sit yourself down, make a commitment to give yourself the time to do some soul-searching. Be honest. You don’t like where you are right now. So…
- In an ideal world, what would you love doing?
- What would be happy in your job look like?
“Get real with your needs, wants, and desires so you can give yourself a blueprint on where you’d like to be at.”
At first, you might come up with unrealistic stuff and that’s OK. The point is to give yourself permission to open up your mind and look at possibilities to get a clearer idea of what you value.
3. Set some GOALS
You don’t have to go wild with the 5 year-plans or limit your options by not being flexible. Structuring some goals can make things seem a lot less daunting. Start looking for a destination you’d like to move toward. But remember… It’s all good and well, having goals but don’t forget to have a game-plan for how you’re going to execute them.
If you’re in a set position that’s starting to feel stale, why not innovate your role? Take another look at your key responsibilities and use those skills as a learning opportunity to work on your career goals.
“Think about how you can reinvent your role, revive your interest and renew your career.”
Don’t be afraid of change. Change is the only constant in life. It’s what make us grow and evolve as human beings so we can live life fully. But also don’t quit your job as soon as the going gets tough with no plan. Remember your value and take each opportunity as a chance to learn something new – about yourself and what you’re here to do on this beautiful pale blue dot.
However, if you find months have gone by and you’re forgetting why you’re in this job in the first place, maybe it’s time to move on. If you’re struggling to get going, maybe it’s time to seek some professional help…
In Nutshell:
The worst thing you could do would be to stay where you are and remain miserable. By staying miserable you also make those around you miserable too. There is nothing to be afraid or ashamed of in seeking help to move on to your next chapter in life. It’s your life and only you can decide when it’s time to switch things up. When you decide, you’ll pleasantly find that there is plenty of help around to facilitate the transition process…
