A colleague told me a story a while ago.
It was about a ‘guru’ who claimed he could cure all sorts of personal issues. His challenge was taken up by a confirmed agorophobic. The guru applied his magic, only it didn’t work. What he hadn’t taken into account was the fact that the agoraphobia was what set the client apart from unaffected mortals and gave him reasons or excuses not to do or attempt a whole range of things.
Are you by any chance doing the same with your ‘redundant’ status?
If this sounds unnecessarily harsh, it could be worth taking a few moments to ponder whether you might, just might have allowed being made redundant (from a job – not life) to have ground you down to the point where you’re questioning your value and self-worth. Whilst understandable, that isn’t going to help you fly, is it?
What’s really going to be different for YOU this year? Novel ways of looking at things, new approaches, honestly assessing your situation, what you want, what you have going for you and what you believe may be holding you back? Or more of the same old, same old…
So let’s get on the case
- Should you do your best to secure any job?
- Hold out for a better one?
- Should you set up in business for yourself?
- Are you likely to soar or fall flat on your face?
- Is there some kind of middle ground that would suit you and your circumstances better?
- What do you need to think about/ research/ investigate?
Go to it and make your decisions based on emotions and data.
PS Motivational techniques that we can access about visualisation of abundance, having feelings of gratitude and believing that the universe is working to attract our desired outcomes to us are unlikely to give us more than fleeting lifts unless accompanied by appropriate action.
