As a Kx Pilates Dee Why instructor your day is incredibly active, moving around a room to help your clients. If you’re passionate about Pilates, the thought of becoming an instructor yourself might sound like the option. After all, we should all aspire to doing a job we love! However, it can difficult to make that first move and change trajectories with your career. After all, how do you know when the time is right? With that in mind, we’ll be looking at some of the signs which indicate that a career change could be on the cards.
You’re not enjoying your current job
This might seem obvious but there are so many people who are simply going through the motions at work without really enjoying it. You spend so much of our life working so it makes sense that you strive to find something you love! If you find yourself feeling drained and unhappy on a regular basis, these might be signs that pursuing other career options will be a good move.
You’re ready for a new challenge
There might come a point where you’re not unhappy in your job but you’ve realised that you’ve fallen into a bit of a rut and are struggling to find that original passion and enthusiasm. Although it might be easy to be doing a role you could do with your eyes closed, it means that you’re really not challenging yourself. If this sounds familar, think about career options which get you excited and offer a new challenge.
You don’t have a good work/life balance
Having a good work/life balance is so important – you need to have a life outside of work so you can recharge and spend time doing things you love. However, too many of us fall into the trap of working increasingly long hours until it feels that you never leave the office. If you’re work/life balance is completely off kilter, perhaps it’s time to rethink your priorities and consider a career with more flexibility.
Ready to take the plunge?
If you have a passion for Pilates and all the signs are indicating that a career change is in order, you can consider turning what was once a hobby into an exciting new career. Start by doing some teacher training so you can get more insight into what the role involves. You can then progress to teaching one or two classes a week while still holding on to your day job. That why, when it comes to taking the plunge into a new Pilates career, you’re sure it’s the right move!
