Filling your pockets but not your soul?

Question

Thinking a lot today about how I am really lucky to have a great job, but that I am constantly in danger of losing sight of the other parts that make me, well, me. Maybe it's because I had the flu this week, or because Spring has finally arrived in Vermont, and it seems like everything around me is blooming- but I feel stuck. Do you ever feel like maybe you've given too much to your job, and lost sight of your soul and what fills it?

Thank you for sharing! I'm a big believer of filling life with adventure. It can be really easy to get into my work routine and make this my only focus. But once I started to push myself out of my comfort zone by traveling more or trying general things that took me out of my routine, I became much happier. Maybe it's a career change but maybe you just need a lifestyle shake-up or something to get out of your slump! Hope this helps!

Nicole, you are speaking my language right now. Sometimes I am in a battle between my amazing career and what really fuels my passion. And VERY often they intertwine, but when they don't I can feel it and I begin to think about everything in a different light. I am very fortunate that my good out weighs the bad, but I have to think logically some times before making hasty decisions, because I have almost done that before.

What really started changing the game for me is when I started being more vocal with my boss. I was sharing my raw and unfiltered thoughts and feelings around certain things. Once my leader understand my consistent feelings (consistent is the keyword) he was able to support me in a much better way. Creating opportunities for me that allow me to stay in that good place.
