How to Choose a Career

onlinecounsellingcollege:

1. Think about what you really enjoy. What brings you alive? What could you do for hours – even if you weren’t paid to do it?

2. What do others say you’re good at? Sometimes we’re blind to our gifts and strengths but usually other people will comment on them. What do others notice, and constantly affirm?

3. What’s your work style? Do you prefer a more structured environment? Do you prefer to work with other people or on your own? Do you like to follow guidelines and be told the rules, or do you likely to be creative and have autonomy?

4. Where would you like to work? In a hospital, in a school, in an office, in your own home? Would you prefer the type of job where you travel frequently, and perhaps to different countries all around the world?

5. How important is money to you? Are you content with “just enough” or do you want to earn a huge amount? Do you want a regular and predictable monthly income or would you prefer that your salary was based on bonuses and commission?

6. How important is the work-life balance to you? Some careers require you to work long hours, to travel on a whim, and to put your projects first. Others give employees more flexibility. They let you choose your hours and the days when you will work.

7. How do you feel about having to work shifts, on evenings, at weekends, or on public holidays? There are many careers that require you to do that.

8. How well do you function under pressure and stress? Again, decide if that is something that you mind in a career.

How to work smart

onlinecounsellingcollege:

1. Make the most of those little slots of time – a free fifteen minutes here and there. You can accomplish a lot in those extra lost minutes.

2. Make your work place comfortable and inviting. For example, have an inspiring bookshelf, light a scented candle, put up a few crazy, fun photographs.

3. Don’t be afraid of criticism as it can help you to learn and grow. Dreading it too much creates anxiety which thn prevents you from producing your best.

4. Recognise that we rarely feel happy when we’re working as we often struggle with incompetence, frustration and feeling that we don’t know what to do.

5. Remember all the reasons why it’s worth persevering, and how you’re going to feel when you finally get there.

“It sure is the worst thing in the world. To look at the person that once meant so much to you and to feel nothing. To be fully aware of that void in your chest, that abyss that stretches from one rib to the other in the place where things used to grow. Loving you, hating you - it cannot be compared to that emptiness, that lack of feeling that once you notice it can’t be ignored anymore. It won’t go away, even if you pretend it was never there to begin with. When I look at you now, I’m no longer sure that hate is the opposite of love. By now I think it’s indifference. Waking up one day and suddenly not caring anymore. To feel so empty that even trying to recall what was once there becomes an impossible task. To have that vacancy inside of you, but no idea how to fill it back up.”

“Darling, you deserve it all. You deserve love and peace and magic and joy dancing in your eyes. You deserve hearty, deep-belly laughter and the right to let those tears fall and water the soil. You deserve freedom and goodness and company and days of bliss and quiet too. You deserve you happy and healed and content and open. So keep going, darling. Keep going.”

Am i the only one that cries or feel a tug in their heart at scenes of good parents or them sacrifiyng everything for their children?

And think i wish mine were like that

faridaspeare:

Does your heart ever decide to feel too much, too quickly at once and you just end up crying? Like it’s too bloody sensitive to any form of affection? If you hug me, your shirt will be drenched in tears- every tear composed of a different emotion. Just saying.
