How to fall in love with your job again
In many aspects, being employed in a new job is like engaging in a new love affair. The 2 processes are every similar from start to finish.
As a result, what you use to rekindle your love can also be used for “falling in love” with your current job.
1. Excitement
At the first stage of every job or love affair, there will only be excitement and nothing else. No one feels bored or irritated by other spouse when they first meet, but of course, couples may get sick of each other 20 years later.
In one sense, a fresh graduate just working on his first job is like first love. The novelty of first time working, combined with first time receiving pay check leads to some sort of euphoria.
This novelty keeps you happy and energy high. High happiness leads to high productivity and vice versa.
The job may present some unpleasantness but since you love the job/person, you don’t mind. As the old age saying, love is blind.
2. Reality
After years or even months into the relationships, quarrels began to occur.
Then reality sets in irritations and difficulties from the job begins to surface, though you still enjoy the work you do.
There seems to be countless deadlines and almost impossible to meet also and discover yourself staying late, arriving early to finish off the work.
Excitement and novelty of new job begin to wear off.
3. Disillusionment
Just like in love, or even marriages, the third and final stage is disillusionment.
You realize that both the love relationship and job are illusions, and start focusing on negative thoughts.
Maybe I feel better with that hot chick; maybe I could earn more money working at company ABC, maybe no need to work so hard there also.
Rekindling love for job,
Innovation is all about applying concepts found in other totally unrelated places to a specific area concerned.
What you used to rekindle your first love can also be translated and use to rekindle love for your current job that has been held for years already.
Make a list of good reasons why you ended up at current job in the first place. This is like why you ended up marrying him or her.
These reasons will assist in getting back the thrill felt when first began your job/started relationships.
5 Practical “stay in love” tips,
1. It has been said that breakfast is the most important meal of all. A good breakfast is needed to give you all the energy and protein needed.
2. Dress well with pride like you did on your first date/first day reporting for work.
3. Begin each day with cheerful and motivated people, not those who believe that the world is going to end tomorrow. Talk about good things in life, like still can eat, sleep, fuck and masturbate.
4. Do those unpleasant tasks first. Every career and job has them. After settling them, the rest of the day will end sooner than you think.
5. Reflect and document a list of what you accomplished, what you learnt, both in job and social skills. Basically journal your thoughts and feelings about various things like contributions to company, relationships with fellow workers, what you feels most happy about.
There are many ways, other than mentioned here, to keep both love relationships and job rewarding and challenging.
At the end of the day, whether you have a happy life depends on how good you feel about at work, in love and in daily living.
As a result, it is up to you to keep yourself happy so that you spend more of life moments in happiness.
