Universal Advice for Career Pivoting
1. Build a "FU Fund"
An FU fund is enough money saved to say "F you" to a job that drains your soul. Aim to save six months' worth of your current salary. This financial cushion allows you to take a break and focus on aligning energetically, finding your passion, and starting something that brings you revenue or pivoting to a place that aligns with your soul's desires.
2. Intern or Freelance
Work for someone who has the career or position you want. This could be through interning, freelancing, or another form of close collaboration. Being close to someone in your desired field helps you understand if it's truly what you want and allows you to see the behind-the-scenes aspects of the job.
3. Set Intentions
Set a clear intention every morning. Ask the universe to help you find a job or opportunity that aligns with your gifts and talents while maintaining financial stability. Setting intentions can have mind-blowing effects and create shifts in your life.
4. Trust the Process
Trust that the universe is working for you to thrive. Sometimes things have to fall apart for new opportunities to emerge. Be careful about the intentions you set, as they might not always unfold as you expect.
Strategies for Each Energy Type
Manifestors
Manifestors should wait for creative urges and rest to get in touch with their inner guidance. Whether you're looking for a new position or starting your own business, informing others about your desires is key. Use your voice to communicate your vision and leadership qualities.
Projectors
Projectors often struggle with conventional job applications. Instead, show up and share your wisdom on platforms like Fiverr, Upwork, or social media. This allows others to invite you and recognize your talents. While waiting for invitations, double down on learning and invest your time in mastering your craft.
Manifesting Generators
Manifesting Generators need freedom and independence. If you feel micromanaged, communicate your need for variety and curiosity in your job. Embrace your multifaceted nature and create a business that aligns with your excitement and joy. Follow your sacral response to guide your decisions.
Generators
Generators should focus on nurturing themselves outside of work to stay energized. Communicate your excitement and desires to your boss from a place of fullness. If starting your own business, follow your excitement and ensure that your work brings you joy. Stay aligned with what you love doing.
Conclusion
Finding a career that aligns with your soul’s purpose isn’t a one-size-fits-all journey. It requires self-awareness, intention, and sometimes, a leap of faith. Whether you build an FU fund, intern with someone you admire, or set a powerful intention, remember that the universe is always guiding you towards your highest good.
So, if you’re feeling unrecognized and bitter in your current job, know that a more joyful and exciting life awaits. Embrace your unique energy, trust the process, and watch as your career transforms in ways you never imagined.
