Quitting Your Job

Have you considered quitting your job? 

There was a point in my career when I often considered quitting. I thought about quitting on awful days when a pipe would burst right before my day was about to end and on evenings when I was too tired to meet my friends after work. 

Property managers often feel drained from wearing lots of different hats. It’s important to keep your priorities in line, so you don’t allow the stress to take a toll on your health. 

Advice from a Coach 

My advice is to learn to love the job you have before you consider quitting. You may wonder why I suggest this, and the reason is simple: If you can’t find happiness doing something you once loved, then why do you think you’ll find it doing something else? 

Focus instead on creating healthy habits in and out of work. Take control of your health, so you can live your best life. 

Start by identifying and breaking self-sabotaging habits. This will open up time and head space for you to focus on healthy behaviors that promote better health. Ultimately, it will help you find the work-life balance that you crave and leave you feeling happier. 

Learning to love the job you have doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll choose to stay at that job. However, it does mean that you’ll take full ownership for your happiness and fulfillment no matter where you are. And that’s worth more than any salary.

If you’re unsure where to start, find a support system. Our coaching community is a great resource to have open and honest conversations about our mental health, goals and aspirations. Honestly, there’s nothing better than talking to a group of like-minded people who also know how to have fun. 

Start small with the commitment to make a change for your health.
