That Bad Day/Lousy Streak - Could Be Synchronicity

 "Anyone else having one of those days where it seems like it’s mistake after mistake? Nothing major, nothing unfixable, but still annoying. I haven’t been scolded or anything either. I feel like it makes the day 10x more draining." - Fishbowl Big Law, August 10, 2023

Usually being "off" like that or worse in performance reflects being "off" internally. Psychologist Carl Jung called that projection of one's inner life onto the external world "synchronicity." 

Incidentally if your inner life is in order then the outer one will also be. An example of that I observed among lawyers is John Tarantino of Adler Pollock. He is whole, a total alignment between inner and outer. Here is his Ted Talk on how he transformed his wife's terminal illness and death into making the world a little bit better. Recently Tarantino was recognized for being in the top 10 of lawyers in Rhode Island. 

Negatives like those off days or lousy streaks tend to occur when humans are in transition. In the Tarot cards, which Jung found useful for insight and inspiration, that is symbolized by the Tower. Things crumble and humans haven't yet made the inner journey to spot and embrace fresh possibilities. Typical is the abrupt pause triggered by a layoff, divorce or financial setback.

How to rebuild that inner core? 

Step one is to surrender that you don't know where you are heading. And you don't have to know. The Zen mantra for that is: Clear Thinking/Don't Know. If pests ask "How is the job search going" simply answer "Don't know." 

Step two is to be grateful for the confusion. Without it you might have stagnated. Losing that big job in Big Law could have been exactly what you needed to redirect your career to a better spiritual and lifestyle fit. There are plenty of those happy-ending sagas posted on professional anonymous networks such as Fishbowl Big Law and Reddit Big Law. Booted to the curb, then being reborn in different space. 

Step three is to open to possibility instead of chasing formulas for fulfillment and success from the past. We all know those who had divorced who then marry the same kind of person, with the same disappointing outcomes. 

If your life seems to be in tatters, look inside. From coaching I know this: It's always you.
