….
signs you’ve made your career your entire identity:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📌 You only see yourself in terms of what you do.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📌 All of your goals are tied to your career.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📌 You see criticism of your work / performance / interviews as a reflection of your personal value.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📌 You’re unable to enjoy other parts of your life when your career is out of whack.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📌 You only feel good about yourself when things are going well in your career.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📌 You’re unable to sleep at night because you’re tossing and turning thinking about your career.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📌 You constantly miss events or cancel social plans because of your work or job search.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📌 You’re always thinking about your career even when you’re supposed to be doing other things.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How many of these signs are you guilty of? 👀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The truth is sometimes these signs are natural reactions especially when you’re an ambitious, driven person who cares so much about your career.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m guilty!!
But, it’s important to remember that you are more than what you do and that you get to create a full life outside of your career, if you’re up for the task.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because, at the end of the day, cultivating a life you love is truly what matters and creating a career you love, while incredibly fulfilling, is just one part of it.
