You Can Only Change If You Want To
Step Out Of Your Comfort Zone Once In A While
The world will not come to you.
I have been in my chosen profession within healthcare for over twenty years now.
I’m becoming older, yet too young for retirement.
After an episode of illness earlier on this year I returned to my role within healthcare.
I noticed a few changes within the department, some things hadn’t. There was also new faces. However, I soon found myself with the feeling of being ‘dragged down’.
I had promised myself prior to retuning following the sickness episode, that I would ensure a work life balance for myself.
This ended up being short lived.
Based on the return to work experience I stating asking myself questions.
What had changed for me over the past ten years?
Where did I want to be or what did I want to be doing within the next ten years?
Call it a midlife crisis or simply my unhappiness with life, I know I needed to make changes.
There’s a whole world out there.
The mundane can wait.
I discovered medium during the sickness episode. I enjoy being on here. Sometimes I blog. Sometimes I write short poems.
I have learnt so much about myself from reading other peoples work. Words of wisdom from so many writers.
It is also a great opportunity to express yourself 24/7.
I am broadening my horizons as a result.
I now have the confidence to leave my comfort zone. I know that there is so much of life to explore.
I want change.
I embrace it.
Feeling empowered can make all the difference.
It needs to be done!
I like to write from experience and with authenticity, and hope it resonates with others 😊
