I think he has a point. But. I'm with you. There's loads of times I wish I'd followed my dreams but thought "No, I'm earning money, keeping a roof over my head, why risk it"The Prince of Woke is at it again - if you are not happy, do something positive and quit your job.
Is he so out of touch or does he have a point?
I always admire people that take chances and take the uneasy "big" decisions in life - Personally, I'm too much of a coward!

No fan of Royals but he does have a point, your mental health is important probably THE most important thing that YOU need to look after. Obviously, you also need to be aware of your financial responsibilities but you are no use to your family if you push yourself over the edge.The Prince of Woke is at it again - if you are not happy, do something positive and quit your job.

This is true but it's a very very difficult thing to do. Given you need to keep you and your family fed. I understand the sentiment. I just don't understand how it's possible for so many peopleNo fan of Royals but he does have a point, your mental health is important probably THE most important thing that YOU need to look after.

Wise words that. Thanks. I imagine a few people needed to read that.You're right it isn't easy. But if you just put your head down and deny that you're struggling eventually you will break. I don't think you should interpret this as just walk in one day and say fkkit and walk straight out again. But that you should acknowledge that you are not happy and that you need to start looking for a change of career/job. It might take you a few months or longer but if you don't start the process you will end up with you broken or a broken relationship.

Why does well being/wellness and life style coaching seem to be intertwined with reiki?He is not the first to say it and won't be the last. Some folk have even made a living out of telling people to do such a thing as part of being a 'wellness' coach.
I did it, with varying degrees of success.
I chucked in a long career in Financial Services, I was suffering with stress and made a move that I dont regret. Ended up working for a charity in their head office. However after making the move after a long term employment, I got the bug to be not tied down again. Worked for the charity on four separate occasions, partly on contracts, but also because I couldnt give a long term commitment.
Eventually bought a business, it was something that I had wanted to do before I retired. Moved to another part of the country and set up. Well, I have to say that it was the worst decision ever. I had no support, Covid stopped family being able to visit and the money began to run out. I became stressed, depressed and suicidal, the quality of life had completely gone.
My landlord wanted me to vacate the house I was living in, their were no other properties to live in in the area. I have moved back closer to where my kids live and the business is now not trading and will soon be bust.
Follow your dreams, but the grass isnt always greener elsewhere.
