Are you afraid of making a career change? Most people are! It's a challenge to leave the security of a 9-5 job. Or do you have a fear of making smaller changes? This one sounds like a silly question, yet sometimes we're so caught up in the rut of life that we don't even question our fears. How can we make a career change when we're afraid of making even small changes? For instance, I was in my mid 20's working as a chemical engineer in NY city. I commuted an hour from NJ everyday by bus. Back then we didn't really have busses--not busses as you know them today--I called them cattle cars. Instead of sliding forward and back, the windows went up and down. Living near the end of the route I was usually stuck with a seat over the wheel well and had to sit in pretty much a fetal position all the way to the Big Apple or I'd get stuck with the rear most seat which was very hot from the engine--the Hades seat. On occasion, there were no seats to be had and I'd end up standing all the way to NYC. Every time this happened I'd swear that I was going to change to the train. I heard the train was more comfortable--it had to be--than the bus. You'd think that having to sit in the Hades seat or sitting cramped over the wheel well would be sufficient reason to change, but no I tolerated that, it was the standing with my brief case cradled between my feet that was intolerable. But in the back of my mind I had a few fears and unknowns: 1. I didn't know where to get a parking permit for the train station. 2. I never rode a passenger train and didn't know if I'd be able to get onto the car without tripping or doing something that would make me look stupid. 3. The train stopped in Newark where I'd have to change trains to get to NYC. I was fearful I wouldn't be able to make the right switch and end up getting on the wrong train--maybe one to Boston. 4. I had several friends on the bus that took me a year to develop and I was afraid that I might not make any new friends on the train and would have to sit alone. Looking back they all seem very silly and stupid fears. I never really voiced them, I just let them continue making the decision to keep me riding the bus. Then one week, I had to stand three times on the bus. The normal trip took an hour, but on one occasion, because of an accident on the Turnpike, it took four hours of standing. It was an accident involving a truck load of a truck of horses. Finally I made a call to find out where to get my parking sticker and switched to the train the following week and much to my surprise, I had no trouble getting the parking permit, getting onto the train without tripping, switching trains in Newark or making new friends. In fact within two years of making that change, I went on to make a career change from being a senior chemical engineer to opening a biofeedback and hypnosis center. My riding the bus and switching to the train experience gave me a sincere appreciation for what many of my clients go through in their lives. So if you're looking at possible changes you'd like to make in your life--whether they be small or big, I suggest you start by simply writing down the fears--something I didn't do but would have given me a tremendous of advantage for when you write out your fears that's the first step in overcoming them. By writing them down, you'll see how silly they really are and that will be the end of those. Tony Robbins calls this "chunking." You take it item by item rather than let all those fears just loose in your head. Now, changing careers was a much bigger challenge and I must give credit to the a relaxation hypnosis program entitled Inner World of Tranquility in aiding that change. It was the first relaxation tape I had ever listened to and it had a lasting impact on my life. Relaxation CD programs such as the Inner World of Tranquility opens you up to your unlimited potential. They can be used to quiet the nerves before taking an examination, testifying in court, speaking in public, approaching someone special for a date, or if you're considering career change provide you an image for the attainment of your goals and development of your potentials.
