In one of the prior episodes - "How Mindfulness Can Help You Find A Career You Love" - my guest Victoria Zimmer, a wellness and mindfulness professional, said that its super important to relax, because its only when you are in a relaxed state, creative solutions can come to you. When you are in stressed and contracted state you are in a focused, problem-solving mode and there is limited room for creativity to come in. In this episode today, I wanted to pause on this super important idea. In our day-to-day lives many of us are ultra focused on being productive - but is this the right approach? And importantly, will being productive and going all steam ahead help you find a career you love and become successful in it?⭐ Link to the Ted talk "The puzzle of motivation" by Dan Pink: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrkrvAUbU9Y⭐ Link to the episode "How Mindfulness Can Help You Find A Career You Love" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IyruEqauAg=============================⭐ ⭐ ⭐ YouTube version of the podcast:👉 https://www.youtube.com/@ShamelessCareers/featured✅Important Link to Followhttps://linktr.ee/shameless.careers ✅ Stay Connected With Me👉Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shameless_careers/ =============================✅ About Shameless CareersWelcome to Shameless Careers, your go-to podcast for inspiring career-change stories.
