Page 1 of 2 Do you ever wish you had a few more options when trying to find the work you love? Here are some ideas that might help expand your thinking.
- Change your physical space when thinking about what you want to do.
(Motion changes emotion and a new location helps you think about things from a new vantage point.)  Think about your problem (opportunity!) from the perspective of someone else. Imagine someone you admire is giving you advice about what to do.
(This takes practice, but you’ll get different answers that may be helpful.) - Draw a picture of what you want. Imagine how it sounds, feels, smells, and tastes.
(We all make meaning through our five senses.) - Find someone else who is doing what you want to do and ask them for ideas.
(This is called “modeling.” If what they are doing works for them, why not for you?) - Define what being successful means to YOU.
(You may need to redefine the meaning of success as compared to all the external meanings you have learned.) Watch this video of Deepak Chopra on real success. - Practice thinking about how you can do what you love.
(Think about how you are going to think about it; break your regular negative thought patterns) - Laugh!
(Humor helps break the negative patterns of thinking you may find yourself in during this time of transition.) - Ask yourself, how would an eight year-old deal with this?
(It’s amazing what questions kids can ask to break it all down.) - Post the challenge on your wall for a few days.
(Your brain will get tired of not having an answer.) - Figure out what you have at risk if you don’t do the work the love now.
(It’s hard to be creative when nothing is at stake.)
