Whether you're working in a career that doesn't interest you, or just feeling the "blah"s set in and the motivation start to fade, it's important to stay positive and motivated. You'll be more productive, happier, and healthier if you're happy with where you are. If your job is too stressful for your own mental health — whether physically or emotionally — this may not be the post for you (although some ideas will still apply). Our tips will help keep you on track if things get tough!
There are a number of tricks that one can employ to stay motivated at work while keeping their spirits high.
The first is to embrace the vision. Your job is a channel for getting you where you want to go. You can develop your vision for your life, as to what it will look like when you've accomplished the goal and goals that have been set for you. This helps in focusing and being driven to reach those goals.
The second is to be proactive with your work, rather than reactive. Our jobs are usually short and often do not go according to plan, so only doing what needs to be done is not a good idea for those who want to really enjoy their job – there's always something more that can be done. If a problem arises, it means there's an opportunity. When working in offices, the opportunity appears on your workstation; but when working from home, this means you have a 'problem' that you can fix.
Finally, finding things to enjoy about your work is key. You might like one area of work but have to deal with another area that makes it difficult for you.
