Plan Your "Hooky Day" Out For Your Course Correction

Image
Playing hooky is not really part of today's lexicon for sure..which shows you my age ;) However it basically means for those that do not know: taking a one day "break" from work.  Now is it something that is recommended by many people in the work force?  Of course not, as matter of fact its frowned upon.  But if you ask me I would recommend it ( especially if you do not like your current work state )  and as a matter of fact I think it's healthy especially if it is used correctly.         Many people that make those unannounced absences from work are really not taken advantage of, instead they use it to lounge around.  Now of course if you love what you are currently doing in your career, then more power to you and lounge away.  However if you are on the other side of that coin, take that time and make something out of it.  Start making moves for a course correction that will lead you to the right direction.     ...

Do You need to change your "Echo Chamber"?

         Have you ever been somewhere and in your inner monologue you just simply said to yourself..."what am I doing here? I could be somewhere else doing something better with my life"  I'm sure many of us have had that thought at least once in our lives.. Well that probably means that you are in the wrong "echo chamber". You maybe saying to yourself right now...what the heck does that mean?!  An echo chamber is not a futuristic sci-fi capsule to keep you forever young, it's a fancy new term ...that means your surroundings and the people that are in it.         An echo chamber can either derail you or lift you to the next level of your life.  It all comes down  to who might be within it and what they are trying to echo throughout the room.  But if you happen to be in one that might make you feel heavy, negative, not promising, or too self centered...you need to leave it and say goodbye....no matter how persona...
