It’s amazing what happens when you can slow down your mind and find some clarity

The biggest blessing that my family could have given me was allowing me to pursue a career in psychology.

Here’s why…. - A degree in psychology can lend to different career paths. Unfortunately, I got very fixed on one. But choosing this path always reminded me that I have options. I also think that studying my degree wasn’t too inspiring. The lectures were dull, there weren’t many seminars. Its only where I got freedom to do my dissertation (in risk taking by the way) that I actually really enjoyed it. That’s for another post

  • In uni and and in jobs, I’ve always been surrounded with people who were empathic, caring, real people people and understood mental health. That massively helped with my own journey

  • Working in mental health always gave me that direct feedback that I’m helping someone. It’s always been rewarding

At different stages in our lives, we may want different things from our careers. I’m also trying to find acceptance that it’s ok for me to try something new.

I like to think of this analogy. Walking along an golden gravel path with the beauty of green all around. You’re carrying a suitcase. It would be awful to drag the same tattered bursting suitcase through your life time. You have to let go of some things. It’s neither a good look either. Your next path or certain circumstances may require different things of you. It’s YOU that it needs. Not the the things that you carry.

So I guess I’ll finish with this, Let go and lighten your load
