CHI FOR YOURSELF sends you only the best energies for the coming year! We hope all your intentions will be or are about to be realized.
But maybe you’re less than optimistic. In the 10 years that CHI FOR YOURSELF has been in existence, we’ve heard one complaint above most any other.
It starts with the questions…
Are you in a job or career you hate? Is it sucking the life out of you?
So many people answer yes to both of these questions. This is no way to achieve any kind of inner peace.
Imagine doing something different than what you currently do. Then imagine what your life would be like if you had a passion for your life’s work. You are much more likely to excel at what you are doing.
This is not to say that everything you do in your passion will be without problems. That’s unrealistic.
There are always going to be challenges and some of them may prove difficult at times. But being equal to those challenges will help you reinforce your passion.
If you do anything long enough, even something you love, you run the risk of burning out. This is why you need to take breaks.
Take a vacation. Join in activities that are not related to your work.
Consider hiring someone you can trust to run your operation, so you free up some of your time. Doing this, you can even choose to create other ventures or passions.
Start a foundation to help others. This can reignite the passion.
If you do get burned out, there’s nothing to stop you from selling your venture and moving on to something better. You can use the money from the sale to start up another passion you’ve been holding on the sidelines.
This doesn’t mean you should give up on something because you have days that are less than exciting. No matter what you do, this is going to happen on occasion. It’s when it happens more often than not that you have to decide if you’re at the end of the road.
Only you can make that decision, but it can help to talk to your spouse and/or friends when you feel like you’re at that point.
If you dread going to work every day you could become apathetic toward your company or business. Staying in that situation is going to make you miserable.
Switching to something you’ve wanted to do will give you a sense of accomplishment. That’s a contributor to inner peace.
Happy New Year!
