12 Days of Healing – Day 10

We spend 1/3 of our lives working. How did it feel to read that? Is that refreshing? Depressing? Saddening? Worrying? Re-read that first sentence and really sit in the feeling that comes over you. I think we all see work as an important thing in our lives (even if that importance only goes as far as knowing you have to show up), but are we conscious of the massive impact work has on our lives? Many of us wake up just before or right after the sun rises, and head to work. A lot of us stay in that same building almost all day, feel guilty about taking more than 30mins or 1 hour to break, and then don’t leave until the sun sets. To some of us, WORK IS LIFE. So today I ask, are you doing what you want with your life? Are you nourished throughout the day? Or are you simply drained?

Day 10 Goal: Sit down and think about your job. Write down everything you love about it and everything you hate. Was this what you pictured yourself doing? Is this what you still want to do? If not, write down three realistic dream jobs. If they are jobs you could have immediately, take the step forward today. Find the company with that position and apply. If they are a little more out there, still, take the first step. Sign up for a class, start creating, go meet a likeminded person, ask someone to be your mentor, start doing it on the side. Whatever it takes, move closer to your dream job today – THAT IS YOUR TRUE PATH.
