When contemplating a career change it is so important to take the time to ponder and reflect. Allison Fisher Career & Life Coach Often there is a confusion stage or an “I don’t know” stage which can be really uncomfortable.  It can create anxiety and a lot of angst because often we think we are supposed to know!   Hey it’s ok your allowed not to know!   In the “old days”  folk used to sit on the porch and ponder  answers, but these days in our busy consumerist society it seems there is often little time to do so.

It can be uncomfortable for people to be in that space of not knowing when their job or career just doesn’t seem to fit well anymore.   Well yes it is uncomfortable but if we can accept it, go with it, and embrace it who knows what may emerge.   Rather than putting energy into fighting the not knowing, put the energy into research, talking to people, asking questions of yourself.   So it’s not about doing nothing but about acknowledging that your unsure right now, reassure yourself that its’ ok, keep researching, pondering and questioning.

So relax, find your porch and reflect the answers may well come!
