Surmount Work Stress and Find Your Ideal Job
Are you grappling with work stress? Could it be that you are not fulfilled with what you are doing in your current job? There
are more underlying reasons possible for work stress, which I will cover in other blogs, but one cause could be that the job you are currently in, does not contribute to something that really matters to you. It might be that you feel lost in the maze of external expectations. Let's unravel the causes and chart a course to your ideal job or life purpose.
External Orientation: Breaking Free
From childhood, we're conditioned to meet external expectations. And we might actually become good at whatever it is that is expected! But success doesn't always equate to fulfilment. I discovered this firsthand, realizing that true happiness can be found by moving from an outward orientation (external expecations) to within.
Internal Orientation: Discovering Your Essence
Shifting from external to internal focus is key. Clearing ingrained patterns and bringing them into your consciousness reduces identification with them. This gives more space to whom it is that you really are, also called your self, your true self or unique self. By improving your contact with whom you really are, you have more readily contact with that what really matters to you. The things in the world you want to contribute to, or change, or improve. This is called your Unique Purpose. That is not something mystical per se, it is what lies clearly within you if you take out all the surface noise of the external orientation. If you can align your work with your unique purpose – then you are in your ideal job.
Finding Your Mission
Why am I here? It's a question as old as humanity itself. If you articulate your mission of your life based on your purpose,
this provides clarity and direction. Start with the end in mind: envision your legacy, then live it. This can greatly reduce work stress, because you have a clear ‘why’!
It's Possible
With introspection and guidance, you can navigate the complexities of work stress and unearth your true calling. I did it, but it took me a while. I have combined all I have learned in the 5 step approach of the ‘Be You- Be Happy @Work Solution’. Let's embark on this transformative journey together!
