Fall in love.. WITH YOUR JOB!
Love is a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes that ranges from interpersonal affection to pleasure. As humans, we tend to look for love mostly in romantic relationships with others, some within ourselves, yet many times we forget to fall in love with where we spend most of our time, our jobs! Yes… our jobs!
The majority of people spend an average of 47 hours per week at work, half of their lives focused on what they have to get done, on deadlines, and on how to provide for their families. We go on auto pilot and run our day to day with a never ending to-do list. Our answers become automatic, and our relationship with co-workers and acquaintances many times becomes uneventful and dull.
If you are in a situation where you feel that there is no excitement with what you are doing, or you feel that your job is not important or has no value, you are wrong. Every single job in an organization has immense value. Every co-worker, every manager, every CEO, has a purpose in the final outcome of the job that needs to get done. So love them, love what you do, and be grateful for being where you are.
Below are some of the things that you can try to fall in love with your job:
- Practice gratitude.
- Have a “feel good playlist” to cheer you up and everyone around you. We have created a special playlist for you to cheer you up and brighten your day.
- Smile at the little things in life.
- LISTEN to what others are saying.
- Be less judgmental
- Ask yourself every day, how can you add value to your work and your organization
