AFFIRMATION:

MY CAREER IS SEPARATE FROM MY IDENTITY

Like many other working professionals, I spend a great deal of my time in my workplace. This is because I work in a demanding field, and I want to ensure that my position is secure in the present, competitive job market.

My career is certainly an important part of my life, but my career and my life are two completely separate entities.

Today, I can confidently say that I am the same person I was several years before I accepted my position with my current employer.

 

I wholeheartedly believe that many professionals become too involved in upholding their corporate image while off the clock. 

 

I am only paid for a pre-determined amount of time each week. My employer gets exactly what they pay for. When I am on the clock, I give my employer 100% effort. But, once that time is up, I indulge in the activities that make me happy. 

 

Status is important in this society, but both my accomplishments and my personality determine my status. My career choice is simply one interesting part of my life. 

I am a partner, a parent, someone’s child, someone’s sister, a friend, and the life of the party. I am an individual who is defined by far more than just a paycheck or a sign-in ID. Today, I focus on the non-work-related aspects of my life. 

My family makes me the person I am. My hobbies and interests are pieces of my personality, and my chosen career field is simply the way I maintain my quality of life. 


Self-Reflection Questions:

1. Do I flaunt my career in order to make others respect me?
2. Have I allowed my career to consume too much of my personal time?
3. When I introduce myself, is work the first thing I talk about?
