Job insecurity - what does being made redundant say about your wellbeing?
At these times of change, businesses are going out of business, people are losing jobs or waiting at home wondering if they'll have a job or company to go back to.
It can look scary and impossible and inevitably feelings of insecurity will appear within all that.
What we invite here in this conversation is the possibility to see more than we have been trained to first jump to.
Given that we've been taught that feeling fearful, upset or insecure is wrong, and given we've been taught that we need to have financial security (whatever that nebulous phrase means), it's inevitable that we'll feel lost, confused and busy-minded in an experience of possible job loss. It's also inevitable that - from what we've been taught - we'll try and fix and solve the job or the money situation as the first place to start feeling better.
And - the more we see that the feelings of insecurity are appearing in conjunction with ideas of me and my imagined terrible future, independent of what's actually happening in life in that moment, then we can start to create chinks of light in what otherwise looks terrible, because we can start to see that, when those thoughts aren't there, we're fine and just going about life with ease.
Listen in to hear us talk about these ideas, as well as how us humans navigate experiences like this, how we are designed and able to do this - with fear, or without or both. How the more we stay with and allow in all experience, the easier we find we move through it and live more fully. Doing what looks obvious to do moment to moment, using whatever resources occur to us to use along the way.
So sit back, relax and listen in to see what opens up for you.
If you have any questions or concerns about what we've discussed in this episode or to tell us any topics you'd like us to cover in the future, just get in touch on the website www.whatyouvebeenlookingfor.com
And thank you for listening. We really appreciate it. If there are others who you think would enjoy this too then please share with them.
With love,
