Do You Know the Core Issues to Job Dissatisfaction

ith any dissatisfaction the first step is resolve
the conflict between head and heart. Emotion is a
guiding signal. When apathy, dissatisfaction and
depression set in then it is a sign something
must change. This something could be in the heart
or in the head (a change of perspective). Apathy
is stagnation, or lack of movement, change by its
very meaning indicates movement and so the
stagnation is broken.

We all need to feel important and that we are
contributing in a worthwhile way. You have one of
two choices, either find something to engage
yourself in at work, or to change your career
path. For most people the second option is what
is really needed, though they fear it the most.
They have taken a job that offers 'financial
security' instead of following their dreams; and
so imagination, inspiration and motivation all
atrophy.

However these dreams do not truly die and can be
reawakened with the correct guidance. By clearing
the fears and 'what ifs' around change, and in
this case specifically the change of career, then
his head will no longer try to suppress his heart
. He is one step closer to resolving the inner
conflict that causes the tension that is
experienced, and reflected, in all areas of his
life.

By using Energy Psychology Techniques such as EFT
these fears can be released completely, often in
one short session. There are often a collection
of fears and each specific fear can be identified
and treated. Examples include the fear of not
having enough money should things go wrong; the
fear of not being good enough in the new career;
the fear of being successful and the
responsibility that would bring. It is these
fears that cloud or block our motivation or
desire to change.

Many people go to motivational seminars or listen
to motivational audio's to find the inspiration
to change their lives. The only problem is they
are feeding from someone else's motivational
energy. Shortly after the seminar this energy
fades and they are back where they started. The
word motivation is derived from the word motive
meaning 'the reason why'. It is essential if we
want to have lasting motivation we discover our
own personal reason why, our own purpose.

When we have purpose we feel important and so our
lives have meaning again. Friedrich Nietzsche
once observed 'He who has a why to live for can
bear almost any how'. To achieve maximum
motivation and to discover life purpose there is
a very simple formula: Max Motivation = Passion +
Purpose. Otherwise stated as find what you most
enjoy in life, give it a purpose and you will
find motivation to achieve it.

Life is on average only 4000 weeks long. With only
7 days in every week you do not have time to sit
waiting for life to get better. You create your
own life through the choices you make. These
choices are restricted by the fears and limiting
beliefs you have established over a life time,
many having come directly from your parents or
society. Every excuse you have for life not being
different is just that, an excuse. It is a
reflection of those fears and beliefs that have
limited you so long.

Don't waste another day, learn some techniques
such as EFT that will clear those fears and
limiting beliefs and set you free to live your
life with passion and purpose. This new sense of
joy for life will be reflected in your working
life, your personal life and your overall
experience of life. A final thought from Howard
Wight, 'If you are ultimately going to do
something important that will make a real
difference…. do it now'.
