I was sitting in a coffee shop the other day, doing some work on my laptop, sipping my after-lunch tea and enjoying the relative quiet, when a rush of people flooded in all at once. I looked up to see that my quiet little coffee shop, which had been practically empty just 10 minutes before, now was bustling with noise and had a line out the door.
I checked the time — yep, the 2pm coffee rush. It got me thinking, what’s with the collective need for a caffeine boost mid-afternoon?
I’m sure there are many explanations for why so many of us hit that 2pm slump (not enough sleep, heavy lunches that make you drowsy, sitting for too long, etc.), but I think the biggest reason is because most people’s work is much more draining than it is energizing.
If you spend most of your workday doing things that slowly siphon off your energy, and you don’t have enough natural ways to replenish it, then of course you’ll feel the need to boost your energy reserves any way you can.
Enter, the 2pm latte.
Without some way to re-energize yourself, you’re running on fumes and can hardly make it to the end of the workday, much less do anything fun or productive in your free hours post-work.
While I love a good coffee as much as the next girl, I don’t want you to feel like you have to rely on caffeine (or any other external energy booster) just to barely get through the day.
What if there were a way for you to naturally replenish your energy throughout the day through your work, instead of in spite of your work?
I’m diving into how to do just that, in this throwback blog from 2017!
HOLIDAY SPECIAL ON THE PPSC STARTS TODAY!
Starting TODAY, (Tuesday, December 10th) and ending on the 17th, we’re offering a holiday special on The Passion Profile Short Course!
• For this week, the course will be $50 off its usual price with code HOLIDAY.
• Anyone who signs up before the 17th will get access to a LIVE online workshop with us in January (date TBD) where we’ll be answering questions and talking about how to set “anti-resolutions” in the new year (AKA, goals you’ll actually stick to).
• AND (this is a big one) anyone who signs up before the 17th will also get grandfathered into our 2019 coaching rates, and will get a chance to do coaching before we open enrollment again in March!
The PPSC is like a recipe for your career path. It’s the “secret sauce” that takes the thought out of trying to plot your career direction and prevents you from wasting years of your life hopping from job to job, hoping that you eventually stumble across something you love.
If your career has you feeling stuck, confused, and overwhelmed, and if you’re starting to wonder if you might be “broken,” then the PPSC is the perfect place for you to start your new career journey.
You can get unstuck, feel confident that you’re on the right track, and build the foundation you need to have a thriving career and life — in as little as one day.
The PPSC might be right for you if:
• You’re looking for a way to get un-stuck that doesn’t involve a lot of time, money, or complication (it’s a 5-ish hour, video-based DIY course with workbook prompts).
• You’ve been hoping for a simple answer to this whole “finding career direction” thing.
• You don’t know where to start and wish someone would tell you what to do about your career situation.
• You loved your Passion Profile Quiz result and want your life to actually align with what you read.
Remember, you’ve got until December 17th to get $50 off with code HOLIDAY!
