One thing you can do for yourself for 2025…
What’s one of the things you can do for yourself in your career, life, mental state in 2025?
Fall in love again. (Gag, so cheesy Kate, I know I know but keep reading anyway, you can roll your eyes at the end still).
I was trying to put words to how I am feeling these days and how putting myself out there to be 100% me in work, in life feels.
It feels like falling in love with my career again. The people. The work. The connections. The building excitement. The anticipation. Being able to make an impact in a new way. Solve a new challenge.
Feeling that electricity before meetings, the excitement of not knowing what the next thing is, what’s around the next corner. Not always knowing exactly where you stand and being anxious about what’s to come, but feeling something great is building, somehow feeling like you are in the right place with the right people doing the right work.
Fall in love with your work and your career again. Right now is the moment to assess that, post holiday, after some time off potentially. And if you know you can’t feel that way in your current role, because you just won’t, then start something else now. Don’t wait to feel happy and constantly live worried about figuring it all out right this second. Life is so short and maybe you don’t have to figure it all out just yet. Do it imperfectly.
Easy to say, but its always been so hard for me to do that too. To allow yourself to admit you need more, to try something, to start something even if it’s baby steps and you have to move slow. Do something that gives you that spark, feels a little scary, but where you can be fully you at your most real, your very best.
Or quit your job, cash out and run away to a remote beach in Costa Rica and never come back because that sounds like a giant leap and radical move but also amazing. But I am a slow builder. Risk averse. Cautious, so for the slow folks, just try it.
But whatever you do, stop waiting.
Because even if you can’t have everything, it feels good to start something.
