How often do your shoulders slump and your gaze drop when you think about work?

Do you dread Sunday evening and find it painful to get out of bed on Monday morning?

Does your body feel tense at the end of the day?

Do you take your frustrations out on those you love or do you find yourself retreating from others so you can be miserable alone?

Do you feel exhausted by your current situation but are too overwhelmed to do anything about it?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, chances are you are out of balance and it is creating stress in your body, mind, and at work. Unfortunately, you are not alone. It is estimated that nearly 80% of the population is unhappy with their job and a large percentage of those feel there is something better out there but don't know how to find it.

Maybe you are so entrenched and comfortable in your misery that you would rather opt for the pain of the known than take a chance on the unknown. It is understandable but it shouldn't be an option. You deserve better and you need to open a place in your heart that will give you permission to be happy and to spend your days doing something that makes you feel good physically, emotionally, and intellectually.

Somewhere along the way people have come to expect a rather large degree of dissatisfaction at work; however, it doesn't have to be that way. Sure it may seem like a muddy and murky road to go down right now; but, wouldn't you rather go through a short time of trial and uncertainty than a lifetime of misery in a job you hate? You have the right to feel alignment in your body, mind and work but before you are ever going to be able to take that first step, you have to do one thing...give yourself permission to be, do, and have everything you have ever wanted.
