Your career might be fulfilling, but it shouldn’t be the only thing to define you. After all, focusing on your work and nothing else can lead to a lack of purpose and direction in life.
If you don’t know where to start, worry not – for our life coach can help you explore these meaningful pathways to finding your purpose outside your job:
Self-Awareness and Reflection
Self-awareness is the process of focusing on your thoughts, emotions, and actions, and how they align (or not) with your standards. It can be challenging to reflect on yourself and be self-aware, and only 10-15% of people can do that.
That’s why getting a life coach is crucial when it comes to finding your purpose outside of work. They can help you become more self-aware by asking you the questions you may not want to ask yourself. They can also help you become more mindful so that you are able to visualize the best version of yourself.
Discovering Your Passions
Your work may be your passion, but it shouldn’t be your only interest. When it comes to finding your purpose, it’s essential to explore hobbies and activities that don’t involve your career.
Perhaps you loved painting or hiked a lot before you got too engrossed with your job. You can always revisit these hobbies. But if you haven’t had a lot of interests to begin with, worry not for a life coach can help you discover hobbies and activities you can do outside work.
Setting Goals
You may have a lot of work goals, but do you have clearly defined personal goals? It’s important to set the latter, as they relate to your hobbies, relationships, and health—and thus can help you with finding your purpose outside of work.
If you’re having a hard time setting personal goals, then you’ll definitely need the help of a life coach. Here at Change Of Plans, we offer a life-coaching tune-up service that can help you set quick goals and map out a way to achieve them.
Moreover, we can help you find the right direction by helping you make ‘SMART’ goals, identify common obstacles, and develop a clear-cut plan. More importantly, our life coach can help you take action and attain these goals.
Nurturing Relationships
When you focus too much on your career, you could potentially end up with broken relationships with family and friends. Unfortunately, this means losing people who could provide support and understanding should everything else go awry.
Mending strained relationships (or building new ones) can be hard, but a life coach can help you out with this. They can help you cultivate your relationships, which is essential when finding your purpose outside of work, by teaching you to be more compassionate, forgiving, grateful, and accepting.
Living a Healthier Life
Focusing on work and work alone can be detrimental to your physical health. After all, you may end up eating badly or not exercising as much.
On top of helping you with setting goals and becoming more self-aware, a life coach can inspire you to live a healthier life. They can help you achieve your personal health goals by motivating you to eat better and/or workout. They can also help you build accountability over your unsavory lifestyle decisions.
Finding your purpose can be quite challenging, especially if you’ve always been focused on your career. That said, it’s not too late to find your ‘true’ reason for existence. Here at Change Of Plans, we can help you implement action steps that can lead you toward a more fulfilling life.
