As with every New Year we reflect on the last few years, decide on what we want to change, what we wish to pursue and what we want to stay the same.
With the current economic crisis and general unease around our futures I've found a lot of people are throwing caution to the wind in respect to what they want to pursue and are deciding that life is too short and mental happiness is key.
This is can be;
handing in your notice and chasing the perfect job to gain job satisfaction
taking up the hobby you always wanted to try
learning a new skill
re entering education to train for a promotion or new career
take a sabbatical to see the world
or simply taking retirement to enjoy life
Whatever your pursuit the main theme here is happiness and mental wellbeing.
The reason I started having these discussions is because my own career path and life at work was not doing my mental health any good and I had to make changes, I had already written the You Do Design Course but wasn't ready to launch properly. Even so, I took the plunge and handed in my notice without anything to go to.
Within a week I had temping work, my freelance Photography kicked off again and I haven't looked back.
Lessons I learnt;
Nothing lasts forever... unless you allow it
My mental health is more important to me than anything
Self care is a must
Chase your dreams they won't come knocking on your door
For 2023 my vision is for a happy and healthy circle of friends and family, to help them where I can and know that I can call on them when I need them.
I hop your vision for 2023 is fulfilled and that you are able to pursue everything you dream of.
