After spending 7 years concentrating on my businesses it’s weird to suddenly not have to think about them. I must have spent 75% of my time considering human resources, legalities, marketing, operations, new partners, office politics, meetings and on and on.
What do I think about now?
I have this desire to jump into a work opportunity – any opportunity – just so that I simply have something solid to think about. My website (www.EnjoyingTheJourney.co.uk) is great and I’m happy to write daily about my findings…but it’s so abstract and foreign. I am finding that I actually like problems to solve. I like to be busy. I like something recognisable for my brain to work on. It seems to be more comfortable to be busy and not-so-happy than the other way around.
But does busyness equate to fulfilment? I’m sure the answer is ‘yes’ and ‘no’. It depends on what you’re filling your time with and whether or not it feels good. I now have this massive hole in my thinking and my first reaction is to find something to fill it with!
Well…aside from helping a few friends with their companies and doing a wee bit of consulting, I’m not going to rush into any full-time opportunity. And I’m not going to create another company just because I know how. This new journey needs to be right. It needs to be inspiring and I need to really think about what I like in addition to ensuring there’s enough variety to keep me interested.
Yikes!
Recently, I spent time doing a few new vision boards outlining how I want to feel and what I’d like to spend my time doing. As for what to do with my time, I wrote down that I want to spend my days creating, writing, meeting similar people, growing something bigger than me, and feeling that I’m serving a purpose. I’m not sure what form my desires will take – will it be a new business or perhaps just a portfolio of things to spend my time on?
Oh Kim…you need to have some patience and chill out. The answers will come.
It’s just that I feel I have so much to give but I don’t know what outlet to express my gifts through. Do you feel the same? Or perhaps you went through a transition like this and made it to the other side. Any help or direction would be appreciated!
I’m almost finished with reading the book, “The Business You Were Born To Create,” by Nick Williams. All I can say is that I asked the universe for some help and this book has been an answer to my request. It’s all about doing what you love in addition to creating a world that is authentic, ethical, enjoyable, inspiring, fair and fun. I totally feel the world is changing for the better…and the fact that Nick Williams could write a book like this proves it.
Anyhooo, I have a section on EnjoyingTheJourney.co.uk for book reviews so once I finish it, I’ll write up a review so that you can determine if it’s something that can help your journey too!
