We talk to ourselves all the time. Insidious little thoughts like:

😞 I’m useless at my job.

😞 I’ll never escape the 9-5.

And it’s easy to underestimate the impact of these thoughts. After all, no one would ever know if we never said a word.

But these thoughts or “self-talk” can be soul destroying.

We have to control the direction of our thoughts (all the best athletes do the same) or they’ll control us.

So if you’re stuck in a dead end job, stop thinking that “I can’t possible change careers because…:
❌ I already spent a decade in this industry
❌ I’ll take a significant pay cut
❌ I’ll have to start from ground 0
❌ It’s too humiliating

Replace them with positive affirmations, e.g.

✅ I’ll learn fast & progress faster
✅ My skills are transferable
✅ I’ll be doing a job I love

You can even create your own mantra, e.g. “I’m a confident & intelligent marketer, and the world is my oyster”, and keep repeating that to yourself.

That said, it’s enough to just have positive affirmations and a personal mantra.

You must back it up with ACTION.

That includes setting aside time to run side projects, apply for jobs that appeal to you
