What You Can Do When Guilt Affects Your Career - - Work / Life Balance from Monster.com
Different types of guilt can surface in relation to your career. If you’re in a situation like Jackie’s, you may be suffering from “I’m being selfish” guilt, because you feel bad about putting your own needs first. “How dare I…” may lead some of your thoughts, as in “How dare I contemplate a lower-paying job when I’m successful in my current, higher-paying one?” Or, “How dare I consider going back to work when I have little ones at home?”
Exploring some of the resources at Monster I saw this. What a great piece! I don’t know about you, but guilt has impacted me in all kinds of ways. Perhaps becasue of the way I was raised, but reading this article helped me see that I am not alone and gave me some good ideas to correct my thinking. Perhaps it will help you too.
