Another change to my office layout to accommodate my new career pathway :)
Yep, I've moved from #employee status to devoting more time to my #business, where I can help more people with my skills. As you may not know, while working as an employee for a local government, I kept my business in a quieter profile. However, I continued seeing clients twice weekly, 1-0-1, online and face-to-face.
And now I am back 100% to my BIZ! I am so happy with my decision to move forward with my new opportunities. Working with my new Lifer Career Roadmap for Newcomers Mentoring Program is rewarding!
But a new change had to happen, which was necessary for my #office layout to accommodate my new work demand as I work remotely and online.
I love challenges and changes (I admit it, LOL!)
However, change can be a scary thing. It represents the unknown, the unfamiliar, and the uncertain. For many people, the fear of change can be #overwhelming and prevent them from pursuing new opportunities or making necessary adjustments.
One of the biggest reasons people fear change is because it disrupts their #comfortzone. We feel safe and secure when we become accustomed to a particular routine or way of doing things. So any change to that routine can feel like a threat to our sense of security and stability.
Another reason people fear change is that it requires them to step outside their comfort zone and take #risks. Whether starting a new job, moving to a new country or city, or embarking on a new relationship, change often requires us to leap faith into the unknown. This can be terrifying, especially for risk-averse people who struggle with #anxiety.
But as scary as change may be, it's important to remember that it can also be enriching. Change can open #newopportunities, broaden our horizons, and help us grow. With change, we can avoid becoming stagnant and stuck in a rut.
So if you're a #newcomer struggling with a fear of change (e.g. leaving that survival job to pursue your career dream in your new land), taking small steps outside of your comfort zone is essential. Start by doing something new daily, like attending small networking events or joining a book club instead of spending your free time on social media. As you become more comfortable with minor changes, you'll gain the #confidence to tackle more considerable challenges.
It is essential to stay #positive and be #openminded. Embrace new experiences and experience new things, even if they may initially feel uncomfortable.
And be #mindful because the challenges of adapting to a new #culture when starting a new career in a foreign country can be scary. Still, it can also be an exciting opportunity for personal and professional growth. It can also be a valuable learning experience and make you a more #assertive, adaptable professional in the long run.
Change is a natural part of life, which we all must face at some point. Embracing change and learning to #adapt to new circumstances can be a powerful personal growth and development tool.
Embrace new experiences to make the most of this exciting chapter in your #career journey.
I am already enjoying my choices of change.
