How to stop paying psychological tax.

I hadn’t heard of that term until recently.

I said I needed the income, and she said, how much 𝗽𝘀𝘆𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗮𝘅 on that income are you paying?

I was like, say that again.

She said, “I understand you need income to pay bills and live, but at what cost?”

-> Regular taxes are taken from that pay, but you also pay an undetermined psychological tax by staying in that job.

The effects of that are wide-ranging, and you have to ask yourself, is it worth it?

That’s something that has stuck with me.

And it’s not something I’d ever thought about before.

-> In your life, how many things are you doing because it feels like you have to, but are you not considering the toll it’s taken on your mental health, which is then affecting all other aspects of your life?

• I look forward to writing content. • I look forward to interacting on LinkedIn. • I look forward to 1.1 calls. • I look forward to helping people think differently. • I look forward to helping people expand their possibilities.

I’ve never worked in a “job” that didn’t feel like a grind.

Where I didn’t feel like I HAD to.

It always felt like I had to tolerate it.

Your psychological tax goes 𝗪𝗔𝗬 𝗗𝗢𝗪𝗡 when you find work you 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 to do versus have to do.
