Job Search, Promotion, and Career Clarity: The Mid-Career GPS Podcast 193: Dealing with a Health Scare: Lessons in Self-Care, Trust and Self-Coaching
When was the last time you truly listened to your body? Have you ever ignored a minor health concern, only for it to evolve into a significant issue? I did and it nearly cost me my sight. My journey from noticing a small black spot in my right eye to being diagnosed with a retinal tear and detachment was a terrifying roller-coaster that underscored the importance of self-care, trust in experts, and the power of self-coaching.
The fear and anxiety that I experienced were real, and I'm sure many of you have experienced similar feelings in your own health journeys. But, amidst all the fear, something amazing happened - I discovered the profound impact of self-coaching and the healing power of family support. I also realized that trust in experts is vital - they are the ones who have the knowledge and the skills to help us navigate our health issues. My eyesight was at stake, but the impeccable care and support from the team at the Advanced Retina Center and my family kept me grounded.
Translate this personal health crisis to our careers, especially when we are mid-career professionals. How often do we ignore our own stress, our health, in the race to be successful? This journey was not just about my eye condition, but it was a reality check about the importance of self-care in every aspect of our lives. Prioritizing health, trusting our gut, and the power of self-coaching - these are lessons that I wish to share with all of you so that you can build a robust mid-career GPS, complete with a comprehensive checklist for job seekers. So, tune in, as together, we explore the importance of putting ourselves first for success in our personal and professional lives.
