Mental Strength Coaching:
Remember, most people have been programmed to believe that fun is something’ you experience on the weekends and vacation…not at what you do for a living.
This limiting belief has been handed down for the industrial age when people slaved away doing physically demanding work.
Limiting beliefs are passed down from generation to generation and can last hundreds of years, well past the point where they any more value.
We are now living in the age of the mind, where it’s possible to have fun performing tasks that challenge the intellect and serve as catalysts for personal growth.
Part of mental strength coaching around having fun at your career is to help you understand that some of your beliefs no longer server in reaching your personal goals or achieving personal success.
