“I hate Mondays, this office again, the same faces again” – if you constantly wake up with this thought, you need to change jobs.
But there are other times: everything seems to be fine – decent wages, good team, an adequate boss, but inside there is still a feeling of something wrong, false.
You feel like taking a painkiller: relieve the symptoms, but the problem is not solved. Routine, internal unfulfillment kills your life.
Your talents, skills, desires remain undiscovered. Learn to listen to the signals your body is giving you.
Why We Do What We Don’t Want to Do
- It’s prestigious: it’s cool to work at a big oil and gas company, not to embroider a cross or knit hats.
- The choice has been made for you. Your parents decide how you will live your life.
- You have to go to work, plow like a horse during races to get to the first place at the fair sportsbook in NZ rating, and give the best years of your life to the state. You have been taught this since childhood, so it’s the right thing to do.
- Fear: what if I cannot change my life? I do not know how to do anything else, and there is a lot of competition.
7 Reasons to Change Jobs Right Now
You Don’t Aspire to More
Not necessarily climbing the career ladder, pushing elbows rivals, but favorite work makes a person better.
He wants to improve, to discover new facets of his talent, to conquer the top. If a person is engaged in business which he does not like, he takes the position of a dull vegetable.
You Don’t See Prospects
You were flying, walking, crawling toward your goal – and suddenly you found your forehead against the wall. You realize that beyond the head of the department or chief accountant position you will not pass.
And now what? Accept it, shove your ambitions away, covered with moss and apathetically wait for retirement?
You Feel Unappreciated
Passed courses, gained experience, pumped professional skills, and your efforts and no one appreciated.
Guvnor you still feel like a little shy girl, and from colleagues a kind word not to wait.
You Feel Obligated
If I leave, I will let the team down, I have been trained for three months, there is no one to replace me. It is frustrating when your work is held not by your professional interest but solely by your sense of duty.
Of course, it is noble to sacrifice oneself for the sake of the collective, but hardly anyone will thank you for it. Be grateful to those around you for the opportunities provided, but do what your heart tells you to do.
I’m Scared
Work is a lifeline. Your fears get to the point of absurdity: if I quit my job and don’t find anything, what then? Begging for alms?
Do not let fear dictate your terms. Ask yourself the question: why am I working here? And if your answer is, “Where else will I find something suitable?” – it only indicates a lack of motivation, not opportunity.
You’re Getting Tired
Not physically, but mentally. There is such a thing as professional burnout.
Scientists say that at high loads the field of activity should be changed every 3-5 years, otherwise depression, irritability, insomnia and other unpleasant illnesses will become your constant companions.
If your loved ones are beginning to notice that the loving mother or wife is not coming back from work, and the demon in a skirt – you have to do something!
Work takes up all your free time. You don’t always have the energy to listen to your child’s stories without yawning once.
You haven’t gone on a date in ages, haven’t seen your best friend, and you can’t even afford the extra time to take a walk in the park or sit in a cafe?
Your life goes by, while you’re in a fit of workaholism almost spend the night in the office.
Relationships Aren’t Working out
If you get the feeling that you have not a team, and a nest of poisonous snakes, or every day there are more and more claims to the leadership – it’s time to look for ways to escape.
You violate his peace of mind, losing inner balance. All areas of life suffer from this: at work you can not focus, at home you snapped at loved ones because of the troubles in the office. The permanent irritant does not go anywhere.
