What do career coaches do?
Do you feel Trapped in your Job?
While being too busy can leave you feeling like you’re drowning, it’s still something we strive for. Busyness must be an indicator of accomplishment.
Okay, maybe not in that case. Even if you have a lot on your plate, you may work in a job you despise. The kind that makes you dread going to work every day or the kind where you spend your days bored and disappointed at your desk. Even though you’re busy, that doesn’t mean you’re happy.
It’s more complicated to come to this realization. It’s easy to feel like we need more time or resources to consider a new career path when we’re already juggling so much. We must keep our homes, feed our families, and pay our bills.
We spend a better portion of our waking hours at work; it should be a place where we are happy to go to every day. The effects of chronic unhappiness can spread beyond the source. Negative effects on mental and physical health, as well as on interpersonal relationships, are possible.
