Thinking about a change?

Do you feel an underlying sense of dread every Sunday night?

You’ve taken your foot off the gas during the week.

Your energy is low.

Your mood is lower.

Every task is an irritation, every meeting an endurance sport, every point of communication putting strain on your ‘professional’ mask, keeping them from seeing the cracks in your resolve and your disdain for their ideas.

All you see around you now...are the negatives.

In your head, your years of service working here reads like a dystopian horror novel.

These people just aren’t the right type of people for you.

You suspect they're sociopaths, egomaniacs, narcissists, or at best chronically incompetent with no self-awareness.

That would go part of the way to explaining your constant levels of anxiety and the tsunami of stress you’re holding back.

So, this is what a toxic work environment feels like eh.

But you’re now too deep into the quagmire to see a way out.

Or…

Maybe, just maybe….

You are your own worst problem.

Anxiety is often your body’s way of reminding you there’s some action you can, and probably should be taking.

If you’re avoiding the challenging tasks and conversations in your job like the plague, you’re just kicking the can down the road.

Relaxing, meditation, exercise, fresh air, a holiday, a new puppy.....isn't going to make your job feel any better once those endorphins, dopamine, oxytocin etc float off and you're back 'facing the music'.

When your job is making you feel anxious, TAKE CONTROL!

Get organised.

Prioritise the urgent & important over the non-urgent & not important.

Be prepared. Be proactive. Double your efforts. Get focussed.

It’s somewhat unsurprising that when you take control and get on top of your workload and your employment ‘ecosystem’.....much of the anxiety and dread you were experiencing, drops away…

You become more energised.

Your mood improves.

You start to see the better side of everyone else's personalities, as positivity attracts positivity!

You look forward to collaboratively solving problems.

But, if you’ve tried all that, and you’ve ‘eaten all the frogs’ in sight, and work STILL sucks...

Now that you know it, don't waste any more time.
