Shut down those niggling voices stopping you from starting your soul driven career transition!
Feb 08, 2023🤩By introducing cognitive diffusion🤩
You never have to battle with or challenge your thoughts, you simply discern how much attention you choose to give them.
I use this simple activity to help my clients uncover the “yeahbuts” that prevent them from taking action to start their soul driven career transition journey.
🤩By the end the activity you will learn a new way of relating to your thoughts so they have much less power and influence over you!!🤩
🥰Step 1. List the “yeahbuts” that have power over you
Some common “yeahbuts” that show up for people facing a soul driven career transition are:
• I might not find like my new found career as much I as thought i would
• Is the sacrifice worth it
• Will it be too difficult to career transition?
• I have worked here for so long now that it’s a waste if I leave
• I have responsibilities like the mortgage–suck it up
• I am too old
🥰Make a list of all of the “yeahbuts” that are showing up for you when you think about changing your career.
🥰Feel free to include any of the above “yeahbuts,” but think about your own which are unique to you.
🥰Step 2. Order your “yeahbuts” by how powerful they are
🥰Look at your list of “yeahbuts” and consider which ones have the most power over you.
🥰Which of these “yeahbuts” usually work best to kill your dreams and plans?
🥰Prioritize your “yeahbuts” in terms of the power and influence they have over you by ordering them from the most to the least powerful.
🥰Number one on the list should be the one that gets you nearly every time.
🥰Step 3. Defuse from “Yeahbuts”
🥰In this step you reduce the power these “yeahbuts” have over you and your life so that you may get on with your soul driven career plans and dreams.
🥰Whenever a “yeahbut” arises, say to yourself, “I notice I’m having a yeahbut moment.”
🥰By doing so, you automatically separate yourself from the “yeahbut.” You create some space from it. Now there is room for you to see it for what it is (just a thought) without getting caught up in it and swept away repeatedly.
