5 ways to love your job

Τ.ΟνH MON DAYS 5 ways to love your job by Paula Ann Murphy 1 Find the culture that fits your style. A general manager once that asked me why I use the word "culture" and to explain what I meant. At that very moment I realized I was in the wrong place. Culture consists of values, integrity, trust and transparency from how decisions are made to how people are rewarded on the job. A good cultural fit is critical for anyone to be happy and successful at work. Ask questions in your interview that will reveal the true nature of the business you are joining. Make sure the people from the top down believe in the same values you do. Find your passion. Deeply search your soul to find out what you enjoy most about working. Are you more creative? More strategic? Know yourself and what you are good at. Take a good look at your skills, talents, and interests, to find something you really enjoy doing every day. Passion is important in order to live the life you were meant to. If you don't know what your passion is, try new things. Train, think, and explore in your spare time. Once you find passion you'll march to the music of life and work will be fun once again-so much fun that it won't feel like you're working at all! Hang with positive people. Choose the people you want to be around each day. Avoid negative people and those who gossip. Look for people that have the same level of integrity that you do. If you find coworkers talking about you behind your back or sending derogatory emails about you, chances are they are not the right people to be around. Find the coworkers you like and can trust. Enjoy spending time with them. Collaborate together with three things in mind: the business, the team, and yourself-in that order. And most importantly, help others when they need you. Helping coworkers is a great way to feel good and earn trust and respect in return. 4 Take breaks. Breaks are a wonderful thing. They rejuvenate your spirit and reinvigorate your soul! Don't skip lunch or midday breaks. Let's face it, overworked people get cranky. We all need time on a daily basis to rest our minds so we can create the best ideas and challenge ourselves throughout the day. If your boss has lunch brought to your desk to keep you in your seat working, chances are it's the wrong place to work. If you're smart and work efficiently and still find yourself working long hours, there are two reasons: poor workflow processes or the head count is low and the company has a sweat-shop mentality. Either way get out. Smile. It sounds so simple, I know. Pretty hard to think negative thoughts while you are smiling. If you find yourself in a dreary situation at work, just smile. You'll be surprised at the tingly feeling in your gullet. After a smile I guarantee the next words that come out of your mouth will be happy, kind, or benevolent words. Working in an agency environment is always tense. I found when I smiled, my thoughts took a 180° turn. A sales rep once jokingly said about me that I was too happy all the time. He said he imagined me in the car next to him smiling during a traffic jam. Yep! He was right. That's exactly what you should do. There are a lot of traffic jams at work. Just keep smiling. "The one true liberty we have in life is choice. And although our choices are becoming limited over time, the freedom of choice when it comes to employment is still available to all Americans. If you don't like where you work, have the confidence to leave-and choose an environment more suitable to your persona." -Daniel Murphy.
