There's a lot to worry about in the modern world:

• Cost of living.
• Climate change.
• Even just trying to correct a joke without offending anyone.

There's a base level of anxiety that comes with being a human being–one of the reasons why nicotine and the alcohol industries are so profitable.

When it comes to your career, there's also a lot to worry about:

• Money.
• Workload.
• Or even whether you're doing something meaningful in your career.

How do you stop worrying and start living?

How do you create more enjoyment in your job and stop worrying about the perfect job?

Even if your dream job is the long-term goal?

In today's Monday Motivation, I'm going to help you kickstart your workweek with the solution.

You wake up, get out of bed, and make the first choice of your day.

Most likely, you check your phone.

But what if you made a different choice?

A seemingly small choice that will change everything.

This Sunday, we're going to reflect on the key lesson from this week–and you'll discover why these small choices make all the difference.

The aim is to separate your work from your life, right?

You leave the house, clock into work, do your job, clock out, and go home.

But with emails on your phone, 24/7 access to the internet, and even working from home - it can be hard to separate work from life.

We all need to switch off from work–but separating ourselves from our work–that may just be a mistake.

And today you're about to learn a different perspective on work.
