What is a Career Vision?

A vision for your career is about understanding and creating your definition of what defines success at a specific point in the future. This could be in a year or 5 years or 10 or retirement - it’s about figuring out how you want your professional life to look like, choosing a date and envisioning a future scenario of what you want to be doing at that time.

Using Ikigai in your self discovery during midlife can bring on a massive eureka moment! A loose translation of Ikigai is 'reason for being'. 'Iki' which refers to life and 'kai' which can be translated into 'a realization of what one expects and hopes for'. Try making your own Ikigai diagram for a balanced and fulfilled life.

All that work. All those visualizations. All that time you spent thinking about the future you want for yourself in 2020 - poof! Covid swept in & put on the brakes... But not so fast. Now is actually a really great time to sit down and review your vision board!

We are weeks into the pandemic & cracks are beginning to show in our culture now. Systemic inequality has been exposed as the realities set in. Government relief packages are a good first step & more is definitely needed.

You are not your thoughts. Being mindful & living in the moment is an actual state of active, open & intentional attention on the present. Working towards cultivating nonjudgmental awareness of the present will reduce stress, boost immunity, reduce pain, lower your blood pressure & more.

Comparing ourselves & our bodies to others with brutal & relentless negative self~talk impacts your entire well being. Years can go by & eventually we no longer notice it as a self-hate game, it has become a deep rooted belief that depletes our energy & happiness.
