If you answered Yes, how long have you been considering quitting now? Have you already checked out mentally and is your heart no longer in it?  How long have you been at the job total and how long have you been feeling this way? Does this answer trigger any feelings?

If your foot is already half out the door, then you are either weighing the losses caused by leaving or waiting for an attractive enough option in order to leave.  It could be both, and you might feel it’s hard to give up what you have for an unknown.

You might be adhering to the saying, “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.”  Whatever is keeping you and tempting you to hang in there, you have to ask, is it causing you any kind of emotional or physical distress?  These questions address certain physical and emotional needs of yours and lead to the next main question.
