it's not the job

To round out e-book week, I’m offering a PDF version of the Job Suckage Challenge. Now, the “Stop the Job Suckage Challenge” was something I ran from January 1-10th of this year, offering day-by-day exercises for looking at why our jobs can sometimes suck, and why they might not be the sole cause of blame. Many people don’t like their jobs–my feeling is that in some cases this is actually a thing that can be improved or remedied, in other cases the job isn’t the problem at all (it’s the scapegoat that gets the blame), and in still other cases the job truly isn’t a match and that it’s a powerful practice to get fully in integrity with oneself before attempting to leave any relationship, including a relationship to a job.

If you’re taking this challenge, I strongly suggest that you take it one day at a time, no flipping ahead (no peeeeeking!). There is something about the element of surprise and also giving yourself time to marinate in between exercises that I think will be really  helpful.

On this note of clarifying the often complicated feelings that we have about our jobs–what are some exercises, books, tools, tips, resources, quotes, mindsets that you’ve found helpful around “job stuff”? I’m thinking of perhaps an exercise you might have done in a workshop that really helped you clarify what you wanted, or a book that really resonated with you. Please share–I know that feeling “ick” around jobs is a very common phenomenon and I bet there are people here who would be helped!
