Start a New Career
After coaching hundreds of people on how to break free from the
corporate world, I have created 7 fundamental practices to help
you successfully start a new career. I share them with you here.
1. Center Yourself
When you are trying to start a new career, you may encounter
inner resistance and self-doubt. Before self-talk sabotages your
dreams, learn to disconnect from your negative thought patterns.
I recommend centering throughout the day to help you be a kind
and patient observer of your thoughts. Learning to center will
help you to stay positive and relaxed. Meditation, walks at
lunchtime, yoga, and focused breathing can help you to stay
centered throughout the day.
2. Focus on the Positive
Television broadcasters, newspapers, and magazines make their
money on advertising. They sell advertising by focusing on the
negative and what is not working in the world. Turn off your TV.
Stop reading newspapers and news magazines. Surround yourself
with positive people. Read autobiographies of people you admire
and who have overcome adversity. If you pay attention to
negative thoughts and events, you will attract negativity into
your life. Stay focused on the positive.
3. Live from purpose and commitment
Do you have a personal mission statement? What is your purpose
in life? Does your work forward that purpose? Spend some moments
on reflection and create inspiring and exciting purpose and
mission statements for yourself.
4. Perform essential actions that are on-purpose
If you are living from purpose and commitment, then it is much
easier to stay focused on essential actions that will further
your purpose and to eliminate actions that don't help you to
achieve your purpose. 5. Have the courage to live your truth
Many people waste time avoiding negative consequences instead of
pursuing possibilities. Pursuing possibilities takes courage.
Our definition of courage is staying true to your values no
matter who disagrees. It also means being open to the world, not
closed in a loop of habitual thinking and behavior. 6. Jealously
Guard your Energy
Evaluate all of the relationships and activities in your life
based upon whether they give you energy or take your energy.
Eliminate activities that take your energy. Eliminate negative
people. Try to shift relationships that take your energy or
limit your exposure to these people. To start a new career takes
lots of energy. Jealously guard your energy during this critical
time and eliminate all energy vampires.
7. Be grateful
I believe that we have all chosen to be here in this physical
world. Our non-physical being chose to manifest here and now.
And every day that you walk on this earth is a miracle. Count
your blessings. If you find yourself in despair or unable to get
out of a funk, start keeping a gratitude journal. Every evening
before you go to sleep, spend some time counting your blessings.
What are you grateful for in your life? You can do this as a
mental exercise or you can start keeping a gratitude journal.
Every day, write down five things that you are grateful for. You
might be surprised by how abundant your life really is.
