WHY I'M QUITTING MY 9-5 JOB!!
I think most of us have that "I'm quitting" moment in our careers, especially when we are stuck in boring 9-5's. At the end of the day, you have to push through and work your ass off until you either turn your hobby into your passion, start a business, buy that house and accomplish all those other dreams and aspirations you have.
Here are some tips on how to get by while working your boring 9-5 that pays all your bills!
1. Focus on the positive.
- Understand that even though you feel like quitting your 9-5 it's a blessing to be able to wake up, go to work and most of all make money to fund your life and your dreams.
2. Get up and exercise before work.
- Working out before work (if your schedule works with this routine) truly clears your mind allowing you to tackle the day with positivity, motivation and strength.
- I work early mornings and commute over an hour so mornings don't really work for me unless I want to work out at 4am. I try to pick one or two days of the week (usually Friday) where I'm in the gym at 4am and get a nice push to get me through the rest of the day.
3. Find your passion outside of work.
- On your off time try to explore new things, find something you love and work hard at that. This will help you stay motivated, entertained and balanced throughout the work week.
- I always look forward to hitting the gym after work, I love to work out and get super excited leaving work knowing that it's time for a leg day.
4. Use your free time (Breaks and Post work) to work on your passion.
- For me this blog helps me express my interests and talents and keeps me motivated during the work week. I'm always brainstorming, drafting and working on my craft.
