Several years ago I found myself working in an almost toxic environment. (You can read more on my personal story here.)
As I watched my co-workers drowning in their desperation to find other
opportunities and make sense of a crazy work environment, I felt myself
sliding down the rabbit hole of depression. It spilled over into my
personal life as well and began to permeate every aspect of my life. I
didn’t know what to do about it, but I knew that I had to do something.
I’d always been a pretty happy person. I was not going out like that!
That something I had to do wound up having nothing to do with
finding a new job right away or moving to Bermuda and living on the
beach. (Although, I did eventually move closer to the beach.)
What I did was change my mindset to deal with circumstances as they
were, while planning for better circumstances to come. Sound
difficult? It was a lot easier than you think! And the best part is
that after I figured out what to do, I wrote it all down in my Blueprint
for Happiness so others could learn too.
The most important thing I learned was that my mindset was what
mattered most. As I shifted my thoughts and behaviors and focused more
on the joy I could find in each moment as well as how I would like
things to be better, the better things got for me. Eventually, I
realized I needed to move on from that job and situation, and I did.
However, when I finally made my move, it was because I intended to move
towards something that brought me joy, not away from something that
made me unhappy. That was the shift.
Are you ready for your shift? Let’s chat, I can provide
the strategy to get it done. Don’t stay miserable another minute! Your
life is waiting!
