Why It's So Hard to Quit Your Current Job

If you are stuck in a job you hate, you probably are spending a lot of time thinking about how much you dislike it. Your boss acts like a jerk and you get angry. You need to work overtime and you get frustrated. Your bills keep piling up and you can't think of any way to pay them except to get another corporate job.

You need to start detaching yourself from your unhappy situation - emotionally and energetically. I believe that whatever we focus on - shows up in our lives. So, if you are focusing on how much you dislike your job, company, or boss, then you keep giving energy to these situations and they will persist.

Focus your attention on the work situation and life that you want. Many dissatisfied employees know what they don't want, but are unclear about their desires.

Before you take action and quit your job, it will help for you to prepare your future with positive thoughts and a clear vision of the future you are creating. Start to picture yourself as you want to be and your work life as you want it to be and imagine it as if it has already happened.

Remember: You are a powerful creator. Your past thoughts created your current situation. Now is the time to pro-actively direct your thoughts to the future that you want to create.

Cure for Fear

Pretend that you are an alien from another planet and have temporarily inhabited this worker's body. Give yourself an alien name - Zep or something equally wacky. You know that this is a short visit and you will soon be returning to your blissful paradise.

Choose to focus on the aspects of this worker's life that you enjoy. When anything comes up that is unpleasant or that creates any type of negative emotion within you, do the following. "Wow! Worker Chris invited this negative stuff in to her experience. I don't want it. I want ____________________." Replace negative with positive.

For example, "Wow, Chris invited this long commute into her life. This is not my choice. I want to work from my home on the beach." or "Geez. Chris invited this controlling boss into his life. This is not my current choice. I want to be my own boss." or "Hmmm... Chris invited long hours into her life. My new choice is to work Monday through Thursday from 8-3."

Disown the negative and begin to own what your really want.
