Shift Focus from Blaming the Job
When you hate your job, it's easy to blame the job itself for all the reasons why you dislike it. However, shifting your focus internally and being curious about what's going on within you can be a more powerful approach. By recognizing that there's nothing factually wrong with your job and directing your attention to your own thoughts and emotions, you can gain more control over your experience and take steps towards creating what you want in your life.
Do the Internal Work Before Leaving
Before deciding to leave your job, it's recommended to do some introspective personal development work. This involves examining the stories and thoughts you have about your job, writing them down, and being willing to challenge and question them. By wanting to be wrong and exploring alternative perspectives, you can gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your reactions. This work helps prevent carrying any negative attitudes or patterns to a new job or situation, giving you an opportunity to evolve and improve your experience.
Choose Who You Want to Be
Regardless of the circumstances, it's important to choose who you want to be in any given situation. Instead of allowing external factors or difficult coworkers to define your attitude and actions, decide on the energy, attitude, and actions you want to bring. By focusing on being generous, compassionate, and dedicated to excellence, you can shift your experience and have a positive impact on your job and the people around you.
