3 Ways to Turn a Job You Hate
Into a Job You Love
If you find yourself typing "I HATE MY JOB" into Gchats
day after day, most experts would say you should look for a new gig. But
finding a new job can be tough, and finding one that's funand pays
the bills can be even tougher. Thankfully, psychologists have studied a concept
called job crafting, which essentially means turning the job you
have into the job you love by reframing the way you think.
Sound confusing? Start with these three tips
:
1. Rethink
the things you do: If your day-to-day tasks are soul crushing and mundane, see if
you can take on new responsibilities that get you excited about work. We know,
who wants to add more to their plate? But hear us out: Your
new task could be a creative project or something extracurricular, like
teaching a yoga class once per week.
2. Rethink
the people you work with: Focusing on deeper relationships with your
coworkers or getting to know people outside your department can make work a lot
more fun. No set happy hour? Organize one!
3. Rethink
the way you think about your work: It sounds difficult, but
changing how you think and talk about your job can make a world of difference.
Rather than making blanket statements about hating work, get more specific:
"I really don't like all the politics in the office, but the people in my
department are pretty cool." A positive attitude goes a long way.
