Get a life!

Do you ever feel like your job is really getting in the way of your life? You know the feeling. After eight (or more) hours on the job, a long commute and a couple of errands on the way you are beat. So it's eat, veg for a while, fall asleep in front of the TV and then get up to go to bed.

It seems like there is never enough time for fun relationships or to stretch and grow so you can break the pattern and get a life.

So where do you start the process and how do you do it? Well, before you can start a trip you have to have an idea where you are and where you want to go. Are you in Seattle, WA or Barcelona, Spain? Do you want to go to Paris, France or Paris, Texas? Big difference! Your starting point and destination determine how you get there. You can take a bus to Paris, Texas from Seattle. Not going to work from Barcelona. Likewise you can take a train from Barcelona to Paris, France. Not happening from Seattle. Now it might be a piece of the journey, but you get the point.

So step one, take a look at your current situation - job, relationships, finances, health, etc. Is the work you do fulfilling or draining? Do you have healthy energizing relationships or are people sucking the life out of you? Do you have the money to spend AND the time to spend the money?

What kind of life do you want to have? Do you and to own a business or have employment that counts and is appreciated? What kind of relationships do you want? Do you want a spouse and children, lots of friends or just a few really deep friendships? Do you want to have enough money to do the things you enjoy and enough time to enjoy them?

Once you know where you want to go you can start making travel arrangements.

We'll look at that next.

Remember the key - making confident career choices.
