Career Zingers #25: Stop Clinging

Bounce free of career static

Too much static in your career? Hanging on to outdated perceptions of work, career, and yourself? When drying your clothes, I sometimes put a sheet of Bounce in the dryer to stop the static so my clothes don’t cling.

Here are 3 invitations to make your career cling free:

(1) as things tumble and change bounce with the change as opposed to being stuck.

(2) notice if the stories you tell yourself help you move forward or create static and regretful thinking as you desperately cling to the past.

(3) just as you need to keep doing laundry, you also need to keep working on your career – avoid mindlessly performing the tasks of your job without having the larger picture of who you are in mind.
