Do you do a countdown until your holidays....? Then when you're on holidays you do the reverse countdown and dread the return to work...? Can you imagine doing work you don't feel the need to escape from? This it is actually possible for you! In this episode Shandra talks about her pre-Christmas realisation about the work and life she has created - on the other side of burnout. She shares: 1. how to recognise if you are in a work situation you do want to escape from 2. How to create work you don't feel you need to escape from 3. And the four ingredients you will need to do it "Every human has four endowments - self awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom... The power to choose, to respond, to change." Stephen Covey You may not be able to escape your work life right away, but giving it some thought now will help you make a start.
