Mind Your Own Career: Your Guide to Right Working for Right Living can help you to explore important questions about how you, your work, your career and your life are integrated, and to understand, and even to change, the answers you find.
The guide lays a foundation with a basic philosophy and some practical tips for changing your answers to these questions, so your answers become more suitable for who you are, what you need and what you want – in your work, as well as in your larger life.
Making A Habit Of Your Habits
A habit is an automatic response to a pattern. Your habits may influence how you think, how you feel, how you relate to others and how you act. You may perceive and interpret the pattern consciously or non-consciously. You also may exercise the habit consciously or non-consciously, i.e. your habit may lead you to think, feel, relate or act with or without full conscious volition.
Become aware of the ways you think and feel as a habit. Become sensitive to the things that you say and do as a habit. Make yourself aware of the impact that your habitual thoughts, feelings, words and deeds have on yourself and others. When you are aware of a habit that has an undesirable or unintended effect, you can practice catching yourself and changing your ineffective thoughts, feelings, words and deeds.
You can also develop effective habits by becoming sensitive to things you can think, feel, say and do that have desired and intended impacts on yourself and others, and then practicing your effective thoughts, feelings, words and deeds until they become automatic.
Your Personal Reflections on Habits
How well do your work habits serve you? Experiment with counter-habits, i.e. deliberately practice thinking, feeling, saying and doing things that are not habitual.
Explore your comfort zone fully before venturing outside the box. You must be sensitive to the limits of your comfort zone, so you know when you have left it and can find your way back. How would you characterize your comfort zone – at work and in general? How similar or different are your working and living comfort zones? How easily can you step outside of your comfort zone? How often do you practice leaving your comfort zone?
Create intentional habits. Determine the intent of your existing habits and then monitor your results to confirm and validate the effectiveness of the habits.
How aware are you of your non-work habits – in your inner experience, in your choosing, in relating to others, in doing for the sake of doing, in investing in yourself and others?
