Dear Lorelei-
I need some coaching here. I pride myself in my job, even though it isn’t really the job of my dreams. It offers me security because I have been there for 12 years and I am making really good money. But I know it could change at any time and I feel as if my life is passing me by, while I avoid doing what I really want to do. What can I do?
Signed,
Jane
Dear Jane,
I understand your confusion and your fear of breaking out of the mold. On one side you have a lot to be grateful for because you have found yourself a secure position in the work force that enables you to afford a good life. I encourage you to really feel that gratitude and bless yourself. Yet, on the other side of that reigns the feelings of discontent., uncertainty and curiosity. What would happen if you chucked it all and dove into the great unknown. That would take a tremendous amount of courage and faith. Have you got that in you? Can you throw caution to the wind and let go of all expectation?
My advice to you is to research the areas you want to move into. Discover everything about these other opportunities in the work force outside of your comfort zone. I would wither get involved as a volunteer, an intern or as a student in order to bypass any fears of not being good enough or credible. At the same time nurture the position you are in. I would look into maybe cutting back your hours at your day job, or changing your schedule around a bit so you can make the time to explore this other field of interest.
These are 3 ft. tosses. Sometimes we need to just stick our toes into the water to test the temperature. You may continue to wade into the deeper end of the pool, or you may decide not to swim at all. Perhaps you prefer the land life? How will you know if you don’t even try? But it sounds to me like you do want to try so here are a few more ideas.
Write your ideal scene dream job on the top of a piece of paper or create a vision board showing you what that /job/life looks like in the external world. Paste positive words, phrases or slogans on it like: Opportunity, Go for it, Live and Let Live. Add in pictures of yourself enjoying those opportunities where you are doing what you love and really see what that looks like, you in your joy, doing what you love to do. Write your intentions in the affirmative such as this: “I am joyfully working at my dream job, creating the life I want.” Or, “I am easily tackling all my job descriptions as I learn new things everyday.”
Always write as if the scene is already “in play.” As if you are living it…then feel the joy in your vision. This helps the sub-conscious mind ready itself and remove the dark fears that hold you back. It sort of re-programs your negative self talk. Then, paste that board or page where you can see it everyday, read it aloud and just put it out there. The universe, like Jack in the Box, will always give you what you order….so be clear and concise! Go ahead and ask for the “secret sauce!”
I support you in your dreams, I encourage you to reach for the stars and if you need any more help aligning yourself with your stars, get a life coach to guide you on your path.
This is your life Jane, so what is your purpose? You do have a choice.
All the Best,
Your Life Coach,
Lorelei
