Knowing When to Pivot

Are you feeling a bit stalled or like your career isn’t fulfilling you anymore? Perhaps this is a sign that you are needing to pivot, to take a new turn in the road!

Pivoting can bring up a lot of fear. Letting the fear surface and letting it have a voice is the best way to face it. But, DO NOT let it in the driver’s seat. No matter how much it wants to take the wheel, kindly ask it to take a seat in the back! It can still have a voice and be heard, but, we must learn to pivot anyway when this fear is surfacing.

Our fear is trying to keep us safe, and it does a really good job at doing that!

A question to ask yourself if you are at a pivoting stage in your life...are you pivoting because you think you should? Are you pivoting because other people are pivoting? Or, are you wanting to pivot because it feels right in your body and soul? You feel this internal tug that is telling you it’s time to make a change.

If you’re feeling an internal tug and not sure which way to go, try lots of different things until you find something you love and that you feel in alignment with. Take classes you’re interested in, volunteer, take up a new hobby. You never know where it will lead you but the first step is to START! Investigate, learn and grow!
