    good reminder about how we spent 1/3 of our life at work... and it is important to FEEL happy while we are at it. Or at least not miserable.

    This resonates so much! I burnt myself out in a role I pursued for passion. I was lucky that it also paid well. I dreamed of it as a career so it became a huge part of my identity. Unfortunately, it was too much work for 1 person to handle. The overwhelming responsibilities of the job but also the pressure I put on myself led me to burnout. I didn't feel like myself and I developed chronic anxiety in 6 months of that role. I quit out of good conscience and took the last year off. I experienced depression during my break... I think my mind and body needed a purge. Now I'm in a much better place. I have recently got back onto my career path. I was cautious to choose a role that didn't involve the same level of responsibility I had previously. Like you, I took a 10% pay cut. I entered into this new role with hypervigilance about my mental health. This is proving to be serving me well - I feel like myself again, like I have good work-life balance, and I'm proud of my work. The sacrifice was hard to accept initially... I felt like I was settling for less. But now I believe that this is a positive step in the right direction. I can clearly feel a huge difference in myself in this role versus the previous. I'm reminding myself of how important the small steps are and prioritizing protecting my inner peace. I will let the rest fall into place - because I believe in myself and my skills - but at my own pace.

    Good video. I think you bring up a pretty good point around the 3 minute mark about taking a pay cut for a less stressful job to work on a side hustle or even improving QoL. I am currently unemployed because i got super burnt out from my last job, but I am being very picky on my new job, kind of like picking a new partner lol

    • @itsnicolesyk
      @itsnicolesyk  17 дней назад

      Thanks Kameron! 100%. Take your time with being picky.. what's a few months (or a year) of being mindful + purposeful, compared to decades of being stuck and burnt-out in the wrong job/company?

    You're right. Starting business is usually not having any income for months. It's why you should to create some buffer before starting a business. But sure, you will get pay off after some time.

    It's nice to have someone talk about the same sentiments I faced this year. I've taken a break from my 9 to 5 to figure out my passion. Also tried starting a business also without a stable income. I agree, it is a big risk and bears alot of uncertainties. Through that journey, I learned my lesson and passion. I can't wait what my life unfolds. Hope that it'll be just as holistic as yours! *Fingers cross*

    thank you so much for being so transparent and for sharing this way of looking at the whole 9-5 vs. own business thing. I'm in a somewhat similar situation where I've learned how a 9-5 (or any employment) does have its perks, while doing your own thing can be a really tough thing. I'm still definitely more the business owner type, but I think appreciating 9-5 jobs/corporate jobs for what they are can make like a lot easier:)

    • @itsnicolesyk
      @itsnicolesyk  17 дней назад +1

      I appreciate this Hannah, so happy you're resonating. If more people can think of it that way - to appreciate a 9-5 for what they are, maybe just a means to an end, we'd all be a lot happier. ❤

      People will always have something to say use it for their own benefit/narrative. I can put as much context, disclaimers as possible but some people will still choose to misunderstand me. I can only hope that I attract the right people who can give me the grace and benefit of the doubt.

      Oh no, I did not go back to the same company. I found a different company with a better culture! But I do believe that at the end of the day, if you want to go back to a company and/or negotiate terms, it's definitely possible to approach the convo from a place of grounded-ness and knowing what you want, being open to flexible options. It's worked for people around me.
