Feeling Stuck in a Job You Hate? 5 Steps That Helped My Mental Health

Описание: Feeling stuck in a job you no longer enjoy? Burnt out, unmotivated, and just counting down to payday?
In this video, I share my personal experience of feeling trapped at work and the 5 practical steps that helped me improve my mental health, regain control, and find balance without simply “jacking it all in”.

This channel, Pursuits of a Middle Aged Man, is about real life — work, family, mental health, and figuring things out as you go.

In this video, we cover:

✅ What it feels like to be stuck in an unfulfilling job
✅ How work stress affects mental health
✅ Why changing your working week can be life-changing
✅ Using skills outside your job to reduce pressure
✅ Considering a career change (without panic)
✅ The importance of exercise and time for yourself
✅ Why having a plan gives you focus and purpose

These aren’t miracle cures — just real, honest steps that helped me and might help you too.
