Remember that I had sent an invitation out to everyone here for a guest post? My dearest friend jumped at the request and I am proud to present her work to you. Patty is an excellent coach with her generous and positive nature, please do drop by her website to understand her work better.
Feeling stuck at work? You hate your job? Burnout? Dragging yourself each morning out of bed to go to your work? There are a lot of options to change those feelings and become happy with your job again. You could try to spice up your tasks, apply for a different function within the company, or even quit your job all together. Kally, here at MiddleMe.net, has several articles with practical tips about how to get a new job, or improve your current one.
Unfortunately, more and more people are no longer happy at their jobs. We started to believe, we all should find our passion and our work environment should correspond with it. Passion, however, is not something you have or find, it is something you develop. Changing jobs or even pursuing a new career will not always automatically lead to happiness. One of the most important questions, before you even start pursuing another function or a new career:
Why do you work?
In this world, we need money to live and securing yourself a job is the decent way to do so. That’s why most of the working society does it: to get bread, pasta, rice, on the table. In other words, to provide for yourself and/or your family. Work to be able to live in a safe, warm and comfortable home. To buy clothes and shoes. Day in, day out fulfilling tasks to make sure you, your family, your neighbors, get their food on the table, their cars fixed, travel to their families, health-care, or whatever branch you work in. To me, valuable reasons to get out of your bed.
Don’t forget that every job has its purpose on its own.
With that in mind, maybe your job isn’t that dreadful after all? In addition, working to live is not just a cliché. Being able to go on holidays, to buy your favorite video-game or those pair of expensive shoes, to take your kids to an amusement park, to join your friends for dinner at an exclusive restaurant, etc. Starting to remember why you got your job in the first place?
Living a meaningful life accordingly to our true purpose is very important.
Make choices based upon your own beliefs, your own core values. Figure out what you don’t want, in order to uncover what you DO want. That fear of change could be unrealistic, your family more understanding of your need for it. Research, if that appealing other job is indeed worthwhile switching.
Asking yourself the right questions, why you feel the way you do about your job (and about anything in life) is significant. Be certain your work is the root cause of your negative emotions. This cliché is also true: the grass isn’t greener on the other side. The owners of that lawn learned how to flourish it. Hey, maybe you are even their gardener and you forgot to apply your knowledge to your own garden?

Meanwhile, there’s a lot to be said for volunteer working if your income is from someplace else. JFK created the Peace Corps for good reason in the ’60s. IMO, volunteering shows a willingness to do that which most people wouldn’t dream of: to work for the love of it and not for pay. It is a test of a person’s honesty and integrity.

I totally agree. When you have the resources (money-wise) volunteering is a beautiful way to contribute.

I agree as well. Even when your income is scarce, doing your bit (even just a little or on an adhoc basis) fills your life with joy and satisfaction.

Very wise words. Having a meaningful life is important and oftentimes work is part of that meaning. Not everybody is meant to be a celebrity or millionaire, though this is the message that society often spreads.

Rightly said, Patty!
As we do stand on our own grounds, we can also make our side’s grass as green, or even better, as the other side.
All it needs, beside water and sunlight, is positive thinking and mindful approach 🙂
