Hyderabad: We all grow up dreaming of that perfect dream job, but life doesn’t always work out that way.
Everyone goes through a phase in their life where they feel unhappy about their job. Maybe because they are not doing what they like, not being paid enough or stuck with the wrong people.
Sometimes owing to circumstances or lack of choice we just have to grit our teeth and stay put. Here are a few tips to make life better for yourself.
Try finding joy in something at work. It could be anything from that lunch break to taking a walk alone on the office terrace.
Look forward to it each day and link your joy to that. Let it be a spark at the end of the dark tunnel.
Try and identify what’s bothering you at work. Nobody likes to work with a grumpy employee. It affects everyone from your boss, colleagues to you.
Talk to your boss about what’s bothering you — be it a change in the kind of work you are assigned, the pay or the targets. Problems don’t solve themselves. You have to take that first step.
If you are certain you don’t see yourself doing what you’re doing in five years then do one act everyday that takes you closer to your dream job. Make a conscious effort on a daily basis to ensure you reach where you dream. Set targets for yourself.
Find at least one person you can open up to at work regarding your problems. Keeping your emotions bottled doesn’t help anyone.
Sharing your problems with someone reduces the frustration you feel and also gives them a chance to offer help and solutions to your problems.
