Worksheet: looking for fulfilling work

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

OK, I finally am settling down to what calls for the Work NOW.

This is not feeling fun and I also anticipate that it may help me

reach a place of great fun. Thanks for being here.

Looking for fulfilling work frightens me because my self-esteem

is at stake.

right job.

(There is a right job.)

(slow to quit) person that if I pick the wrong job I could spend

another 5-10 years not where I would be happiest.

(I would not quit as soon as I should.)

Looking for fulfilling work frightens me because I am scared to

do anything new.

(I would be doing something new.)

Looking for fulfilling work frightens me because maybe I'm out of

touch with what is truly fulfilling to me. I could get what I think is

the " plum " job and be totally unmotivated.

(maybe there is no job that I will be motivated by)

Looking for fulfilling work frightens me because I will be revealed

in all my weakness and incompetency.

(I am weak and incompetent)

Looking for fulfilling work frightens me because I will find out

how less employable I have become as I am getting older and

as I have stepped off the " tracks " .

Being older and " of the track " makes me less employable.

I need to be employable to many people.

I need to be employable.

Looking for fulfilling work should be easy and take one day.

Looking for fulfilling work should not include the possibility of

getting stuck in the process and going downhill.

Looking for fulfilling work is a pain in the butt.

Looking for fulfilling work is embarassing the longer it takes.

societal pressure in waiting for the fulfilling job.

I don't ever want to experience depression, confusion, fear,

panic, sleeplessness, stress symptoms while looking for

fulfilling work.

OK, that's the worksheet. Next post I will start doing the Work on

it. Feels like a " remarkable " number of sentences to do the Work

on, so I am interested in hearing what your favorites were or

other UBs that you saw inside.

Love, Lynn
