Sunday Night Blues

Ever get that feeling that creeps in on your Sunday evening, when you realize that your weekend is officially over and tomorrow it's back to the grindstone and to that four letter word we most despise..W-O-R-K.

I wanted to do a blog post on this because this feeling is something that I have been experiencing a lot lately and in speaking with other people these characterized 'Sunday Night Blues' are certainly understood and shared amongst many individuals.

I can't help but associate this feeling with not being happy with my job. When I know I have to return to work from the weekend, this depressed feeling washes over me. I mean most of us loath Mondays, it's a period of adjustment back to the work week, however this feeling for me is pure unhappiness of where I'm at in my career and what I want to become.



Recently it's really hit me that I'm not fulfilling life to it's fullest, especially in my career. I envy those people whom wake up and love their job, whom don't look at the clock just waiting for time to pass till they can go home. I have a few people in my life just like that ....For example my girlfriend started out as a Sales Representative for Billabong and now she owns her own store and she is completely in love with her career. Another example is my friend whom is in Interior Design, she grew up watching HGTV (Home & Garden Television Network) and is passionate about design. She now works for a top design company in the city and deals with high profile clients. Thus concluding both of my girlfriends have ALWAYS known what they have wanted to do from the moment I have met them, me however has NEVER known what I want to do. Even in University I took a variety of courses to see what would spark my interest, turns out I hated school - I graduated but it felt like pulling teeth to get there. I have never had a plan really, just simply to get a job and go with the flow and see where life takes me. Well that plan as of right now has left me to misery.

Lately this quote seems to sum up my career life, since I have a million and one things going through my head of what I "THINK" I would like to do for my future...

"If you become the jack of all trades, you'll never master in one"




I figure there is no better time to take action, so I'm going to see a Psychologist whom specialises in Career Coaching. I hope she will be able to shead some light on my situation and at least point me in the right direction. I am also going to post some resources of my sessions on my blog to help you guys to if you are also confused or even to consider some options that you may not have thought about before.

I wanted to end this post by asking what you guys do? What did you go to school for? Do you like your job? What is your dream job?

Let me know :) Hope you lovelies had a fabulous weekend and I'll lastly leave you with a great quote because I can't resist.

Find out what you are passionate about and get paid for it.
