I listened to motivational podcasts for months just to help me get through the day. It still took me years to leave my toxic job.
Now, there was nothing wrong with the podcasts. They truly helped me get into the right headspace to face a day at work.
But just listening to them meant I was taking in all this wisdom, hoping it would change my work situation, while avoiding the one conversation I actually needed, the one with myself.
I finally moved into action when I started talking to the right people about my options. A trusted friend who encouraged me to start my own coaching practice. My husband, who helped me think through all my options. My coaching classmates, who helped me gain clarity during our peer coaching sessions.
See, inspiration alone doesnโt create change. But it might lead you to the people who can help you.
What are you doing right now to get through the tough days at work? Let me know in the comments ๐๐ฝ
