When “playing it safe” is holding you back .
<p>You know the feeling .</p><p>The dread that creeps in every Sunday night . The pit in your stomach when you open your laptop . The quiet thought you keep pushing down : <em>I hate this job </em>.</p><p>Yet you stay .</p><p>Because leaving feels scarier than staying , and that little voice whispers , <em>what if I don’t find something better .</em></p><p>But here’s the reframe that changes everything.</p><p>What if you’re not avoiding risk …you’re avoiding opportunity?</p><p>Instead of asking , “what if I don’t find a better job?” ask, “what if I’m missing one right now?”</p><p>That’s the real opportunity cost : joy, growth,mental space , and peace of mind . Every week you stay stuck , someone else is interviewing for the role that could have been yours .</p><p>Research has shown that staying at a job you hate can seriously affect your health .</p><p>So build the courage and plan .</p><p>How?</p><p>Start small by updating your resume,refresh your LinkedIn and explore what’s out there .</p><p>Then build a buffer by saving enough to cover 3 to 6 months expenses . A little financial freedom is a big emotional relief .</p><p>Also talk to people who’ve left toxic jobs . Most will tell you their only regret was waiting too long .</p><p>Now go ahead and set a timeline to act . Without it “someday ” can stretch on forever .</p><p>Finally , detach your worth and trust your gut . If something feels off, that feeling is data . Listen to it .</p><p>You’re not quitting on your career, you’re protecting your well-being, your energy , and your future .</p><p>So the real question isn’t “what if I leave ?”</p><p>It’s “what if I stay ?”</p><p>Did I leave any tips out?
