Sometimes, the culture of a workplace or the influence of a leader can work for many but leave others feeling isolated.
Have you ever found yourself in an environment where you felt stifled? Where you couldn’t fully express who you are, and instead, you shrank to fit the mould of the people or culture around you?
Maybe you stayed there longer than you should have and started to lose sight of who you truly are, becoming a shadow of your vibrant self.
You feel stuck and need support to feel like you again
Here are some steps to take to recovery:
📌 Forgive Yourself
First, take a moment to forgive yourself. Staying in that situation may have been a compromise you made for survival or for reasons that made sense at the time. You don’t need to carry guilt for doing what you thought was best.
📌Let Go of Resentment
Forgive the people and the culture. If they had known better, they would hopefully have done better and note that not all leaders inspire all, some teach us traits to avoid.
Letting go of resentment frees you to focus on your own growth and healing.
📌 Take Action
💡 Speak to a trusted mentor or leader: A fresh perspective can help you assess your situation and options.
💡 Explore alternatives: If the environment continues to limit you, consider seeking a new one that aligns with your values and aspirations.
💡 Reconnect with yourself: Rediscover who you are and what makes you thrive.
💡 Seek Support: Whether it’s from a coach, therapist, or mentor, don’t hesitate to reach out for professional guidance.
Healing and growth often require intentional effort, and support can help you navigate the journey.
*You could even consider becoming a coach yourself—using your experience to empower others and turn your struggles into a source of purpose*
💡 Prioritize Your Well-being
Take care of yourself, both physically and emotionally. And if others have been affected by your journey, extend care and healing to them as well.
💡 Know When to Walk Away
If a situation, environment, or relationship consistently minimizes your worth, it might be time to leave. Yes, it may involve short-term discomfort, but often, short-term pain is the price of long-term gain.
💡 Prioritize yourself, stay focused on your goals, and trust the process of growth and change.
