Hey Ambitious Professionals! It's Linda Raynier of lindaraynier.com guiding you

Future simple

to a career and life you'll truly enjoy and in today's video I'm going to teach

To-infinitive

you my key strategy on how to deal with feeling behind in your career and three

action steps that you can take to get yourself back on track and moving

now as a career strategist I've had the honour of being able to help numerous

professionals land their dream job offers and if this is something that

you're interested in working with me one-on-one then I can give you details

about that at the end of this video when it comes to feeling behind in your

career if this is something that you're facing it's not something that you would

necessarily say out loud or tell many people that you're feeling and if this

is what you're feeling it's really easy to get down on yourself when you look at

other people who seem to be more successful than you or seem to be

happier and have more fulfilling careers and you are here still wondering whether

you're on the right path or not you probably wake up each morning every day

with this deep-seated underlying feeling of unsettledness in your system you get

annoyed easily you get frustrated easily and overall you're just not feeling the

greatest about your life in your career you're lacking confidence so here are

three steps to get you feeling back on purpose with your career step one is to

cleanse your stagnated energy what I mean by this is thoughts equal energy

thoughts are energy and when we are consumed by our thoughts thoughts that

were not good enough we're behind in life we're not achieving what we should

minds and we end up being so mind focused that we forget our bodies and so

we become really imbalanced and that causes that feeling of unsettledness and

annoyance and frustration every day so the first step is to clear that

stagnated energy by moving our bodies and you can do this in a variety of ways

you could do it in any exercise form that feels good for you for example yoga

it doesn't have to be the hard core power yoga you could do yin yoga if it's

more relaxing for you and you enjoy the long stretches you can do Tai Chi if you

like a really gentle type of movement you can do running if that's what you

enjoy best hardcore aerobic workouts whatever it is you just have to select a

type of exercise that you're going to do and you're going to commit to doing

during those times when you really feel that stagnated energy in your body what

happens is energetically as you your body it releases that some of that

stagnated energy it clears your system and so therefore you have a clear mind

and with a clear mind you can start to tap into who you are and then from there

you'll be able to get more understanding of what it is that you need to do to

really get yourself moving forward in your life with the clear mind you're

gonna be able to see things as they are without the filters of negative

self-talk and self-doubt and those thoughts about being behind in your life

you're gonna see things as they are and you're going to feel who you are in the

process step number two is then to grab a journal and take a seat in front of a

window and then ask yourself what am I feeling now so the way you'll do this is

on one page you're gonna is bright what are the thoughts that I'm feeling right

now and you're gonna just free right and you're gonna write all the things that

you're feeling negative positive whatever it may be likely it's gonna be

negative and that's fine you write it all out and then you're gonna write why

am I feeling this way you really want to ask yourself why you're feeling what

you're feeling because what you're gonna find and what you're going to discover

if you ask yourself why am I feeling this way is I'm feeling this way because

I'm telling myself things that make me feel this way the thoughts that I'm

allowing me to believe myself to believe is what's causing me to feel this way

that's gonna be the answer but the big aha moment comes when you can realize

once you can write down the thoughts that are actually actively circulating

in your head and you can see them on paper it creates this process where you

are separating yourself from your thoughts and once you separate yourself

from your thoughts you can actually learn to understand these thoughts where

they came from the source of how they got to you and once you understand them

fully you can let them go and the letting go process comes naturally soon

as you understand wow this is a thought that I've been telling myself because

this is something that I picked up in early childhood or ten years ago when I

first started my career whatever it is you recognize that this was something

that I led myself to believe but it's actually not the truth and so once you

understand it understand that these thoughts are not who you are letting

them go becomes very natural because it just it happens as a natural process

it's not something you have to force and step number three is to stop comparing

yourself to others this one is a hard one for a lot of people because for a

lot of us comparing ourselves to other people happens naturally growing up we

were taught to compete to be the best to compete against other children and that

gets ingrained into us as we grow into adults but remember this you are unique

there is no other person on this planet who is you who looks like you who acts

like you who talks like you who's had the exact same life experiences as you

who thinks like you who feels like you know you are the only version of

yourself on this planet of seven billion people that in itself has value you need

to recognize that you are unique because there is only one of you and so if

there's only one of you to compare yourself to someone else who's also just

only one of them that's not a direct comparison you're not directly comparing

apples to apples everyone is on their own unique path and you have to

recognize that you are on yours but the longer that you stay focused on someone

else's path and not on your own is where you can create this sense of unhappiness

and unsettledness and feeling behind and not good enough in your career and in

your life and the more that you can focus on who you are the value that you

bring the fact that you are unique there's no other person on this planet

just like you you have this one opportunity to be able to do whatever it

is that you want in this lifetime to achieve whatever it is you want to truly

live your dream that's when you can start to bring that fulfilled meaningful

life and career forward into your existence so there you have it those are

my three action steps that hopefully will help you to recognize that you're

not behind in your career that you are exactly where you're meant to be and as

long as you continue to focus on yourself focus on what it is that you

want and move forward in that direction you'll get there and I want to wrap this

message up with this super-awesome quote that I found that

I think is perfectly suitable and it says every minute you spend wishing you

had someone else's life is a minute spent wasting yours now if you're on the

path of trying to search for that fulfilling career you've been looking

around for months and nothing's been happening you haven't been able to get

past those first second round interviews and you're ready to take your job search
