Each episode, I'll teach you the skills, strategies and mindset you need girl to get in alignment with your career goals. Now, let's go ahead and get started. Hey, guys, welcome back. This is Episode 19. And today, I'll be discussing five signs that you might need a career change. So I started the podcast to help people who were stuck or feel stuck in their careers and do not know what to do next. And so this is five signs that you might just need a career change. sign number one, you complain about your job all the time, pay attention to what you're saying over the next few days. What exactly are you complaining about? journal about this? Write it down? What specifically? Are you not liking about your work? Is it people at work? Is it the work itself? is it affecting your everyday life after work? What exactly it is that you're complaining so that you can see what is what you want changed? Right? A lot of times we complain about it, but we aren't actually reflecting on it. So if you're complaining about your coworkers, are you adding to that? are you adding to the gossip? Are you bringing in negativity as well? Or is it really your coworkers in the circumstance that you're in, then you know, you can make a choice of doing something differently with yourself. Or you just need to look for a different work environment, sign that number to work stresses you, oh, this can be a tummy ache, feeling anxious headaches, just all around tiredness, insomnia, these are all signs that something is stressing you out. And it could be your work, especially if you start to experience all this once you go into work, and then you feel relief after you leave. So journal that out what is stressing you out what would make your job better, or what would make you stress less stress, especially stress at work is a sign that something is bothering you. Of course, there's deadlines, there's meetings, there's all these things that happen, those are all natural, and we all experience a level of stress. But when it becomes where you feeling physically sick, that is a dead on sign that something is not okay. And you need to reflect journal, of course, and see you know, is changing your career, just the thought of that alone kind of sparks them joy versus not. So I really explore that. Now sign number three, you are bored out of your mind, you've been at your job two to three years now. It's pretty routine, you are spending you know about two to three hours on your actual work. And then the rest of the time you have plenty of downtime, you might procrastinate or avoid doing task. And that's really not good for your career, because you're not taking that extra initiative. If you are just feeling like you're not having the career growth that you want, it might just be because you're not putting in that extra effort. So changing careers will definitely bring some excitement back into your life. Now before you decide to do that, make sure that you're journaling and figuring out your next step. And remember, I do have my clarity guide that's for free that you can do to kind of help you explore that what it is exactly that you want next for your career. sign number four, your job is on repeat. You literally show up to work feeling like Groundhog Day. It's the same thing every day in and out. It's been a few years since maybe you've taken on new responsibilities or gotten a promotion. And that's just a sign that maybe your career has run its course maybe you need to explore a different company. Maybe you need to explore a different job field. Just remember you can change careers you don't have to stay stuck on repeat. You don't need to spend another 1020 years doing the same thing. Because it's just mundane, and That's no way to live your life. Next sign is sign. Number five, Sunday is not a fun day. So if you're waking up every Sunday morning full of dread because you have to go to work the next day then definitely means you have some work stress and on you should definitely be thinking about a career change again, journal it out, figure out what exactly is bothering you about your job. Alright guys, so this is five signs, you need a career change. This was from job affirmations.com. And of course, I added my own information and thoughts about this. So the five signs are one you complain about your job all the time to work stresses you out, three, you're bored out of your mind for your job feels like it's on repeat. Five is Sunday is not a fun day. Now, if you have one of these, of course, you know, it could just be a temporary feeling. Now, if you're feeling all of these, and you were like yes, yes, yes, you definitely you should consider a job change or at the very least check out my clarity guide so that you can figure out what it is that you're looking for. A lot of times, we're not sure what we need and that clarity guide guys, I will tell you, it will help you figure out what it is that you're looking for.
