Being smiling face at office or workplace happiness is really hard to
define! Work has always been a reason of constant irritation and stress for
many. Beautiful days seem shady, your tea starts tasting bitter and the
soothing voices of your co-workers or colleagues do little to quell the looming
twitch in your eyes. You’re panicked, yet reconciled, as you take that last
sighing breath before opening the door. You’re at work and you’re miserable! Is
there something as a dream job?? Well…There is nothing such as a dream job. The
newness and excitement of that once-perfect opportunity tends to wear off after
a year, as you become focused on the more important aspects of your tasks, colleagues
and boss.
Companies often employ management consultants to discover ways to improve
efficiency at work and to foster healthy working environment. They mainly emphasize
on processes and procedures. But, there is actually an even more important
ingredient for improvement of the workplace productivity: And that is
‘Happiness’! It about loves what you do and this is how one can actually
instill productivity in assigned tasks.
Knowing
that what you do is important and being acknowledged for it and being
constantly energized. That’s because when employees are happy and motivated,
the business benefits more efficiently, because happy people accomplish better
results with higher quality, and are less vulnerable to stress.
It sounds like some kind of Nirvana, doesn’t it? After all, who doesn’t
fancy being happy? But how can you be happy at work even in the face of adversities?
And how can you not look at what’s wrong with your job and instead focus on
what’s good about it?
Let’s have a look at few easy ways spotted by Roozgaar team to make it
possible:
Take a control:
Negativity is agony inside the dying head or is an infectious misery that
drains you of energy and saps your excitement. Understand that your happiness
is your responsibility. And shifting negative thoughts to positive ones can
actually perk up your mood and way of thinking. It is scientifically proved
that one positive thought is much more powerful the thousand negative thoughts.
Start by making a list of all that’s great about your job, including the fact
you have one. Don’t reflect on it. Just feel the gratitude, let it well up and
spill over you. This will require constant practice but you can eventually get
there. Now from here on, starts dealing with the problems you are facing. They
will not only seem less dreadful but you’ll also able to resolve your sticky
situations more easily.
Set your goals:
One has to clear with what he/she want. There is nothing more infuriating
than working arbitrarily without having a clear understanding of your career
path and goals. Without knowing how your work impacts the bigger picture you
might as well end up spending a lot of time on urgent but trivial issues rather
than tasks that could certainly impact the bigger picture. So clarify in clear
certain terms your vision and objectives and focus on whether you are headed
to. It is amazing how much you can accomplish once you have perfected your
precise goals and the level of contentment you will feel once you have reached
your desired destination.
Take a challenge:
Change is the only thing which is constant, otherwise things will get
obsolete. Monotony is one of the biggest hurdles to career fulfillment. After a
year or so, doing the same thing at work, you might get stuck in a rut. So to
get back some of that “new job” enthusiasm challenge you and start doing things
a bit differently. Make an effort to learn something new and volunteer for
projects that’s outside your comfort zone. Push your limits and get your
adrenaline pumping; it may open doors to some unexpected opportunities.
Balanced work life:
It takes a minute to lose but takes months or years to built. It is very easy
to lose yourself to work and overlook what awaits you outside the work arena.
Maintaining great work/life equilibrium is vital for both your enthusiasm level
and general well-being. So take out time for things you love doing outside your
work- whether it’s spending time with family or connecting with friends, or
simple pleasures like exercising, shopping, reading or other activities and
hobbies that channel your energy and creativity. Having something to look
forward to after work will not only see you through moments of drudgery at work
but will also keep your energy levels and enthusiasm pretty high?
Avoid constant stimulation:
We live in a world of endless stimulation. Sometimes, this creates monotony
and restlessness when we run out of things to do. So if you seek happiness, try
overcoming this addiction! Develop the capability to enjoy life in its totality
– even when the stimulation stops. Appreciate the small things life has to
offer and cherish moments you spend with your near and dear ones.
And while happiness alone might not increase work productivity, it’s a
pretty solid start.
“For
many people a job is more than an income – it's an important part of who we
are.
So
a career transition of any sort is one of the most unsettling experiences you
can face in your life”.
