Overworked And Overwhelmed?
Ugh, the daily grind. In our modern world of glass-ceiling standards and constant connectivity, work stress is real. Forget the fairytale promises of job security, professional satisfaction, and confidence-boosting shoulder pads that we were sold as kids—adulting is hard!
What’s Your Experience?
Whether you lack meaningful work-life balance, don’t like what you’re doing to make ends meet, or are beginning to question your career trajectory altogether, it’s possible your professional and personal identities are, as they say, “not synergizing.”
Maybe you’re regularly anxious about your output. Sure, your attendance is good, you meet your deadlines, and you’re generally succeeding in your role. Yet something is challenging your confidence—be it your boss’s passive-aggressive emails, the inner voice that dwells over every last detail, or your suspicion that the smarmy new intern has his eyes on your job.
Some weeks at the office feel like years, and the motivation you once had to succeed is quickly dwindling—especially since the pandemic. You’ve been juggling so many personal and professional responsibilities for years now, which has left you drained of your energy and wondering what you need to do to feel that proverbial fire under your ass that everyone is always talking about.
Feeling this way prevents you from relaxing even when you’re off the clock, as you constantly question what you could be doing to be more secure in your professional status. And now that you’re even more worried about work, it leaves even less time for your relationships, hobbies, and the other things that make life worth living.
Whether you’re questioning your future in your current position or reconsidering your career altogether, you’re in search of a job that doesn’t rob you of the will to live—a simple ask, right? So then why does it feel so dang hard to accomplish?
