How Can Affirmations Help Your Career?
This is part 5 of the 5 part series on affirmations. Check out the other parts of the series here: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4.
What do you for your career? Are you passionate about it? Does it bring you feelings of fulfillment? Do you even feel like you have a career, or just a job?
If you are looking for more success, passion, and fulfillment in your career then it is time to take control and make some changes.
Affirmations are one way you can help make these changes and gain greater control over the path you are on. Change starts in your mind. Your mind has the ability to push you through hard times, get you inspired to take actions and risks, or it has the ability to keep you in your comfort zone, and live in a state of fear. Which do you choose?
If you are ready to have your mind working on your side, then affirmations can be a great tool for you. We are going to train your brain to think about how you can achieve success, feel passion, and accomplish things with fulfillment.
Step one is to gain clarity around what you want. Journal around these questions:
- What were you good at as a child?
- What would you love to do even if you weren’t paid for it?
- What is your favorite thing about the work that you do?
- Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Step two is to figure out what areas of your brain are weak and need training. Journal around these questions:
- When do I feel most insecure regarding my career?
- What is keeping me from achieving what I want?
- What am I afraid of?
Step three is to create affirmations to support you in achieving what you want and combating negative fear-based thoughts.
- Some examples are; “Everyday I am closer to my dream career,” “I release fear so that I can move closer to my goals,” “I am getting better at my work everyday,” “I deserve recognition for the work I create,” or “I am deeply passionate about my work because I get to truly impact others.”
Start using these affirmations and see how they impact the trajectory of your career, and the overall feelings of fulfillment from the work that you do.
