1. Can You Be Happy When Your Job Is Miserable?

     Several years ago I found myself working in an almost toxic environment.  (You can read more on my personal story here.) As I watched my co-workers drowning in their desperation to  find other opportunities and make sense of a crazy work environment, I felt myself sliding down the rabbit hole of depression.  It spilled over into my personal life as well and began to permeate every aspect of my life.  I didn’t know what to do about it, but I knew that I had to do something.  I’d always been a pretty happy person. I was not going out like that!

    That something I had to do wound up having nothing to do with finding a new job right away or moving to Bermuda and living on the beach.  (Although, I did eventually move closer to the beach.)
     
    What I did was change my mindset to deal with circumstances as they were, while planning for better circumstances to come.  Sound difficult?  It was a lot easier than you think!  And the best part is that after I figured out what to do, I wrote it all down in my Blueprint for Happiness so others could learn too.
     
    The most important thing I learned was that my mindset was what mattered most.  As I shifted my thoughts and behaviors and focused more on the joy I could find in each moment as well as how I would like things to be better, the better things got for me.  Eventually, I realized  I needed to move on from that job and situation, and I did.  However, when I finally made my move, it was because I intended to move towards something that brought me joy, not  away from something that made me unhappy.  That was the shift. 
     
     Are you ready for your shift?  Let’s chat, I can provide the strategy to get it done.  Don’t stay miserable another minute!  Your life is waiting!
