Shamanic healer Brant Secunda has lived with Huichol (Native Mexican) shamans for over 12 years. He says that the one thing he’s learned from them is that they take life slowly. Huichol people take naps, spend time with family and still get a lot done. So take it slow, act like a turtle, if you will.

In Huichol culture, even the 80-year olds carry heavy loads on their backs up and down the mountains every day. They focus on being in the moment and putting one foot forward at a time. So the key is to focus on the present and take it one step at a time. 

If Huichol people can climb mountains at the age of 80, you, being half their age, can definitely make a career change.

So don’t rush it. Define the specific project that will help you with the career change and take small steps. For example, it may include taking an online class or sending out job applications.

Once you know what to do, work slowly but consistently. And soon you’ll make enough progress to get your desired job.

How to Make a Career Change: Go slow. Small steps are sufficient.
