What To Do When You Feel Stuck in Your Career
When we feel like we want more, but we’re not sure what it’s that we want, it’s important to take time to reflect and ask yourself the right questions. Even in moments when we feel stuck and like we’ve no choice, there are still action steps that we can take to get ourselves unstuck. Defining what being stuck means for us and identifying where the feeling comes from can help us identify what is fueling it. Whether it’s from boredom at work, not making enough money, lack of fulfillment, or our work environment, we can change how we serve with our skills. However, sometimes, feeling stuck has nothing to do with our careers but our personal life. When we’re experiencing hardships in our marriage, friendship, parenting, or just with ourselves, it can show up in our careers. Thinking through all these areas and having a solid Why can help us make the right changes that are not fueled by the wrong things.
