    Belief = Self Love. Believe in yourself and your creativity will go cray cray bonkers.

    To be creative, you must start with yourself. You have to believe in yourself and the healing power of your art. In today’s video, I talk about why it’s so important to believe in yourself, and I share three mindset shifts that will hopefully support you as a creative person.

    #14 "I'm Terrified to Quit My Job - I've Been Here 4 Years and They Rely On Me So Much"

    This week, we take a reader question from Sara in Chicago: Dear Mandy,  I've been at my current job for 4 years. I have wanted to leave for 3 years. Staying has always been the easier option, I have so much flexibility and creative control, but my workplace is toxic and every year I have less and less consistent staff to manage the workload. I currently do the job of 3 different roles in one position, and am not paid enough for the amount that I do. The quality of work that I am able to do decreases everyday, along with my motivation. I am turning 30 and I have decided I cannot let myself delay any longer, but now I am TERRIFIED that I stayed too long. My peers have never stayed longer than 2 years at a position and people keep telling me that it looks bad on my resume to have stayed for 4 years. Now i feel even more pressure to leave before the year is up but I haven't found a new position. All I see is people saying the job market is terrible and that getting a new job could take almost a year. Ineed an income to fall back on, but i am afraid the longer I stay at this job the less hirable I am becoming, which is creating a feedback loop of making me even more scared to quit. I also have an extreme sense of guilt about leaving my boss with no one to fill my role, as a lot of the company's function depends on me. Am I putting too much pressure on myself to leave before the year ends? Or am I right in thinking that staying in this job is hindering my ability to move forward? ___ I'm the author of two journals, which are available on my website, www.mandytang.co.  These include the popular "Should I Quit?" journal, and the new "10-Day Plan" journal to help you get a new job.   They are $28 and ship the next day.  You can also now add a crystal to your order! ___ ❤️  Leave a message in the "I Have a Burning Question" form:   https://forms.gle/NmKx99XXBhDWjGyC7 🎵 TikTok:   https://www.tiktok.com/@careercoachmandy 📔 Substack: https://careercoachmandy.substack.com YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@careercoachmandy
