Need a mental pick-me-up at work? Try this…
Are you are feeling a little lackluster, blasé or just a bit worn down by the grind at work? If so, those feelings are perfectly normal. The past few years have been tough in the business world and sometimes it can just wear a person down.
The usual tactics aren’t working….
If you have already changed-up your routine, attended a seminar or phoned a friend in an attempt to boost your enthusiasm, and you are still feeling disinterested in your work, then it might mean that you need to dig deeper. Try reaching for something meaningful. Yes, I said meaningful.
Go work in a local soup kitchen this weekend, send a surprise gift to a needy relative or call your child’s teacher and offer to volunteer for a half day-and then do it. The busier you are the more important it is to do this.
Pick something that has meaning, to you.
This isn’t a perspective exercise as much as it is an awakening exercise. Routine work tasks combined with stress and pressure can have a numbing effect on you over time which impact results. Doing something that is truly meaningful to you can create a much-needed spark. Plus, it feels great.
