Stuck between a job and a relationship?

Are you on the cusp of an exciting new career or the brink of a new direction? Has an exciting opportunity presented itself – and left you feeling as though you can’t step forward? Something so wonderful can still feel daunting, and make you feel as though you’re being taken out of your comfort zone. This can even lead to you to feel pressured and doubting of yourself. Many mixed emotions can be stirred by the prospect of a job change or career enhancement – perhaps we try to prevent ourselves from moving on because we prefer the security of our old ways. Sometimes we may even worry that an exciting new beginning could spark a ripple effect through our family lives and relationships, causing tension and threatening the connection between ourselves and our loved ones.

There’s no doubt that new beginnings can throw up all sorts of complicated emotions; but it is also a test of the support around you among your family, friends or partner. It’s important to try and take these sorts of changes in your stride. You can take those around you with you, so that everyone gains and no one feels left behind. Success can improve things for all concerned; uplifting life for everyone around you. It even gives you the opportunity to involve those around you in your decision making, so that they feel as much an important part of your life as ever. It’s all too easy to get wrapped up in our routine and work life, without realising that all that concentration on success may mean we’ve been shutting our loved ones out and isolating ourselves.

By keeping open, clear communication and involving others around you in your new beginnings, a new start can benefit all. There’s no need to feel torn between a relationship and an exciting job opportunity – instead, strive for a healthy balance and share your new experiences. If you’re a parent, your children could share and be a part of the exciting new journey your work path may be taking, leaving you feeling whole and supported, excited about your new prospects and confident.

If faced with important decisions, always trust their timing – nothing is brought to us without reason, so trust that everything will fall into its right and perfect place.

Reflect on your options, choices and circumstances – once everything falls into place, things will take off. It doesn’t need to be a dug of war between your job and your relationships if you are able to prioritise everything in your life as important. It’s all about balance.


Love & Light,
