Reigniting The Joy of Play For a Thriving Career Change

Mindful Life Changes: Weekly Affirmations For Midlife

Remember how liberating it felt to play as a child? That carefree joy and boundless creativity can be yours again, helping you navigate adulthood, especially during career transitions. In this episode of the Mindful Career Change, host Valerie Mekki delves into the science of play, revealing its multifaceted benefits that range from lower stress levels, enhanced coping strategies, to a surge in creativity and self-confidence. We'll tug at your heartstrings with reminiscences of our childhood games and urge you to do the same. Reigniting that sense of playful joy can fuel your happiness and motivation, making the road to career change less daunting.
Are you a Joker or a Director? Can you identify with the Explorer or the Collector? We'll help you uncover your play personality, a concept backed by the enlightening research of Dr. Stuart Brown. Recognize your play type and learn to infuse joy into your life with a transformational affirmation we share with you. We also offer guidance on creating sticky affirmations and building a sustainable affirmation practice to support your career transition. So hit that play button, and let's reclaim the joy of play in our adult lives!

Formerly known as the "Mindful Career Change Podcast," I decided to broaden our conversation to cover all life transitions, not just our careers.
