In this episode, We're talking about the kind of decision that needs its support group. Shifting your mindset of giving your two weeks' notice.
Been there and done that and I really should make a t-shirt🤔
I'm breaking down...
Being selective in who you tell, keep your focus laser-sharp, and, most importantly, resist the urge to turn it into a conversation than it needs to be.
Visualize your future with a vision board. It's like crafting your success roadmap.
And hey, if you're the spiritual type, a little prayer might just be the secret sauce you need.
Don't forget your well-being—take those walks, find a quiet nook
And please, for your sanity's sake, ease off on the social media scroll. It's like a mini-vacation for your brain
Remember, this whole notice-giving thing is a journey.
Stay tuned for more nuggets of wisdom on our next episode, and remember, you're not alone in this adventure!
Hey, welcome back to another episode of the helices Darcy park CAS. Today, we'll be talking about how to shift your mindset and relieve the anxiety of giving your two week notice on your nine to five. So this is a topic that I know is very, very hard. For a lot of people, people getting anxiety when they think about leaving their nine to five and it gets scared. And they lots of really isn't a job or position that they do not like. But it's the fear of moving on. It's the fear of the safety nest. It's the fear of. What's going to happen with X, Y, Z. So I'm gonna help you alleviate some of that anxiety and shift your mindset a little bit. So first things first. I know this is really hard and it will take time. Okay. So that's the first thing. It's going to take time now, I feel like after a month or a day, and you're like, oh my gosh, that was the best decision that I've ever had. Or best decision I ever made. The kudos to you for me. After 18 years, it was very hard. So it was like the longer you stay at a job, the harder it becomes of leaving and that anxiety sets in. So. Think about, even though it's hard, it will take time to kind of get over that stress and that anxiety. Also, you ought to think about. Would the overall goal and outcome of this is going to have an effect on you as far as like your overall health mental wellbeing. And those things came. Number two only tell those who need to know and do not make a conversation of it. People talk and people talk all the time and is not necessarily a positive talk. But oftentimes it's a negative talk. I have been so fortunate to actually have because I had to of course sell my co-workers and people who I work with that I was exiting. Only told a few people what I was actually doing. And then I kinda like. Made it like a general statement of like upper management and those people, but I've only told a few people who are close to what I was actually doing. And it was so, so supportive. That was very hard and very rare to find. And no one, no one. Gave me like the negative talk or, you know, that I'm putting those negative ideas in my head. They all were so supportive. They like can is whatever you do. I'm almost certain you're going to be successful at it. So that was so reassuring for me. Okay. So be mindful of who you tell and don't make a conversation out of it because you don't know who you're talking to. And sometimes people put their thoughts and their beliefs on you. Okay. Number three, maintain, focus, and create a visual guide or a vision board. So you want to have something to focus on to help you get going to help you keep going. So if you want to create like colorful visual guide or a vision board of what you would like to do. Like for instance, I'm looking at my vision for right now. And quit. My nine to five was actually on there, actually crossed that off. I'm like retire. My mom, go on a camp, coal money, freedom, time, freedom, those types of things going to Disney every month. That's on my vision board. So has a vision board or have something visual that you can see every day to help you? Be motivated and. Or assure you that the decision that you made was the right decision. Okay. And number four. Praying has always helped me. So if you're a believer welcome. But if you're a believer. Pray. Prayer prayer. Prayer is always the number one thing. And you pray during the time that you all your nine to five If the decision of leaving your nine to five is something that you ultimately want to do. Pray about it. You will get the answer. You like, get that feeling. That you'd know that this is the right decision. Always pray about it. Don't jump, but consult first. That is my, I should've put that up top. That's my number one. Tip. Prey and consult first. Okay. Go for walks or go to a quiet space. And have those times with yourself. Because quiet. Gives you clarity who. I need to write that down. Quiet gives you clarity. If you quiet in a quiet place or walk around the park, wherever there's no one or walk around the neighborhood when everyone is, you know, still asleep or getting ready for work, those type of beings or. Listen to music. Don't listen to music, we'll words, but more instrumentals. Like I listen to the common app when I'm working. It is so helpful because I have that music. And I also have my thoughts. So it kind of gave me going, you know but be somewhere quiet in a quiet space to help you gather your thoughts to help you think and take those walks if needed. It helps so much, it helps relieve anxiety and stress. So. Do that. And then the last one minimize social media because social media is the number one anxiety creator. Get off of there. Stop scrolling, stop looking at everybody else. Stop looking at what everybody else is doing. I had to learn this. That's why, like, after I left, because I was a huge scroller when I was working, because I worked from home. I was a huge scroller, like. I was just scrolling all the time because I just got to a point where I was just checked out. But now, since I'm like in my own business and working through things and. Essentially working for myself, I minimize my social media 100%. Like I'm not scrolling. I only scroll and watch my cat videos after I'm done with my day. I'll go sit in the corner and then I'll watch funny cat videos. That's my social media kick for the day. But minimize social media because It increases your anxiety level. People don't know it, but it definitely does cause depression. And the reason why I caused depression is because you could see people they're Patriots. They're happy. Bear posts and I made this amount of money. They doing this when all that is fake. And none of it's. I won't say none of it, but most of it is not true. So keep that in mind, minimize the social media, be cautious as to what you post on there as well, because people is looking. And ale career conversations about it. And I didn't write this down, but I also want to say, you know, we love our family. We love our family members. But they don't need to know everything. The only people that need to know what you're doing. Is those who your decision will affect those in your immediate household. I mean, your spouse, your children. If you're not married, maybe your parents, if you're living with your parents or your cat, and I'm just getting much your cat. But You only have those conversations with those who your decision will affect and no one else. So no one needs to know. Okay. You have to ask a question about, oh, how's work going work is going good because it is, I'm working in my own business, but you don't need to know that. Okay. So minimize that. So just a quick recap understand and know that it will take time. Yes, it is hard, but it will take time and you will alleviate the stress and anxiety over time. And only tell those who need to know and do not make a conversation out of it. Maintain focus and create a visual guy or a vision board, so it can help you. With motivation and see your overall goals. Pray about it. It will help you so much go for your walks. Take that time, quiet space for yourself to gain your thoughts and to help you with your mindset and minimize the social media, the scrolling, because it is a number one, anxiety creator. Okay.
