Are you feeling a lack of love towards your job lately?
Trust me, feeling in love with your work is no quick, one-time action. Like many things in life, choosing habits & behaviors that will allow you to gain a greater fulfillment in your career is key.
Here are 5 steps you can take today to pour love into your career.
Make your goals known.
Communicating your goals creates a positive energy & momentum, so be intentional with sharing your vision with trusting coworkers & leaders so it becomes part of everyday conversation.
Seek out a mentor.
A mentor can be a game-changer when it comes to feeling love in your career. Seeking out a professional who you admire, trust, and look to for valuable teachings can not only be a huge development opportunity, but it can also add significant value at work.
Get outside your bubble.
By building relationships outside of your direct work team, you’re diversifying your relationships and giving yourself the opportunity to broaden your skills & network (and inevitably exposing you to future opportunities!)
Take control.
When was the last time you asked a colleague if they needed help? Asking this simple question allows you to take control of the type of projects you get exposure to, strengthens your network, and showcases your eagerness and ability to work. Now that’s love!
Add some fun.
Last but not least, a fulfilling career is a fun career, so how can you incorporate an element of fun into each work day? From surrounding yourself with workplace cheerleaders to taking stretch breaks and hosting coffee chats with colleagues, allow fun to become a priority so you can fall more in love with your career.
