Is your 9 to 5 Killing Your Creative Soul?

If you are sitting at the same desk surrounded by the same people, doing the same boring job 8 hours a day 5 days a week and basically feeling soooo creatively repressed ….  

...but you’ve always dreamt of becoming a fashion designer….  Then isn’t it time you took charge of your life before it’s too late?

Most of us are indoctrinated to believe that getting a well paid secure professional 9 to 5 job with a big pay check is the right thing to do if you want happiness, self fulfilment and stability ….. and sometimes it’s just to please your family!

But is it worth denying what you really want?

When you are young you just do what you are told so it is natural to follow the path that your family want for you….   

...and when you are young you don’t yet have the life experience to realise that a big pay check can never make you happy.   So it is normal for us to unwittingly follow that path.

But if a 9 to 5 with a big pay check was enough to make you happy then the people in those jobs would have no inclination to leave and of course we all know that's not the case.   If it was then 5 million people wouldn’t have quit their jobs just in the last year?

In 1997 that's exactly what I did!!     I was miserable in my secure job with a good regular pay check so I left.     Everyone said I was making a mistake and that I would never make any money with my own business...

But as far as I was concerned I had no choice because I knew I would never be happy as an employee.  Being repressed and over-worked with a long commute packed like sardines on a dirty London Underground every day to get that paycheck (which in London just covered a basic existence) actually made me ill...   I developed severe chronic migraine.

So what happened when I left that job?....   Well my income doubled in just the first year and I DID start to live the BEST years of my life....    Crazy stories for another day!!

Those years as an employee are actually obliterated from my memory...  They were that dull!!

The 9 to 5 job concept was created in the 1920’s for people to work like robots in manufacturing but that is outdated and irrelevant now because most work nowadays is service based.

... And if you keep keep repressing what you REALLY want to do then you could actually be making yourself sick.    

Repressing your true self can lead to high levels of stress, anxiety, burnout and chronic illness.    At the very least it will make you grumpy and affect your relationships. 

Deep down you already know that to find inner contentment, self fulfilment and happiness you have to just start that dream fashion business you’ve been thinking about since you were a teenager!  …. 

...You’ve just felt too scared to take the leap because it feels uncomfortable….. because it’s not what you were indoctrinated or brainwashed to believe is the right path to take.
