Work Doesn’t Have to Suck

For this blog post I want to share with you guys some things i consider to be extremely important in the journey towards self improvement. I will be talking about the work enviroment and how it can affect your overall happiness in life. Now, i know we don’t go to work everyday because we want to (well at least most of us don’t) but that shouldn’t stop us from being happy. Our jobs are a HUGE part of our lives. For most of us we spend at least 5 days, roughly 40 hrs a week there. Thats a huge chunk of our time.

For all of us college kids i know our jobs probably aren’t our permanent goals for life and we go to work everyday just to afford bills, but that doesn’t mean we have to hate every second of it. For most of my college career i was extremely unhappy at a job i worked at. It was a very high-paced, hectic enviroment that caused me an intense amount of stress. I  made the decision to push through and continue working at this place for years until i realized how much tension and anxiety it gave me. I didn’t value my job and i didn’t take pride in it. I dreaded going to work everyday and it took a toll on my overall happiness.

So my advice to you all is to find joy in your everyday encounters. Work is not always going to be a fun place to be, but it doesn’t have to be a place that sucks the positivity out of you. Use the glass door  app to see what real life people have to say about local jobs before you pledge yourself to one. Surround yourself around people you enjoy and clientele that will teach you things. Value what you do for a living and you will find more value in yourself. Put yourself first in life and focus on what makes you happy.
