Five steps to making it work for you"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>No one wants to be Peter Gibbons. The main character in the widely-loved (and oft-quoted) movie <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0151804\/\"><em>Office Space<\/em><\/a> was open about how much he hated his job at Initech Industries and how that affected his motivation (\u201cI&#8217;d say in a given week, I probably only do about 15 minutes of real, actual, work\u201d). And yet he was still drained by his job, because actively disliking your job is really draining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you sit at your desk fantasizing about making a career change or starting a side hustle or passion project, it\u2019s time to move towards your more fulfilling goals\u2014without quitting your job. Your current position can teach you what you want to learn, help you sharpen your favorite skills, and give you an arena to learn something totally new (with no reason to fear failure!). Here\u2019s how to turn office water cooler water into lemonade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2  id=\"step-1-try-not-to-repeat-i-hate-my-job-i-hate-my-job\"class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 1: Try not to repeat, \u201cI hate my job, I hate my job\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe way the brain works, the more you think or do something, the more engrained those grooves in the brain become for that thought or behavior. That\u2019s how habits form, and it\u2019s the same for ruminating thoughts,\u201d says <a href=\"http:\/\/melodywilding.com\">Melody Wilding<\/a>, a New York-based therapist who works primarily with young professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To drop this energy-draining habit and rewire your brain to be more positive, Wilding recommends catching yourself whenever you think, \u201cI hate this job<em>.<\/em>\u201d Then, make an effort to have mastery experiences during the day\u2014learning something new, knocking out a nagging task, doing things you didn\u2019t think you could do\u2014to feel better about your current situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeople think acceptance means giving up,\u201d says Emily Fletcher, founder of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zivameditation.com\">Ziva Meditation<\/a>. \u201cBut it\u2019s not\u2014it\u2019s the first stage in transformation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2  id=\"step-2-focus-on-skills-you-want-to-improve-for-your-next-job\"class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 2: Focus on skills you want to improve for your next job<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Then implement ways to use these skills and practice them at your current job. \u201cAsk yourself, \u2018What is it that I can get out of being here?\u2019\u201d says Amy Morin, author of the bestseller <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amymorinlcsw.com\/book\/\"><em>13 Things Mentally Strong People Don\u2019t Do.<\/em><\/a> Use this time to get better at what you\u2019re best at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2  id=\"step-3-keep-putting-an-effort-into-your-job\"class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 3: Keep putting an effort into your job<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDo your job with utmost integrity,\u201d says Fletcher. \u201cThat\u2019s a muscle, that\u2019s an attitude. So do 110 percent. I was on Broadway for 10 years. That whole other career was perfect preparation for my current one. But that wouldn\u2019t be the case if I was half-assing it or if I was like, \u2018I can\u2019t wait for this Broadway thing to be over so I can be a meditation teacher.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need motivation, make a list of everything you\u2019re learning in your current role and keep it handy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2  id=\"step-4-figure-out-the-skills-you-need-for-the-future\"class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 4: Figure out the skills you need for the future<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Use this time to acquire and practice things you don\u2019t know or aren\u2019t good at. Morin says, \u201cIt takes the pressure off when you know this isn\u2019t your lifelong career. If you want to practice your public speaking skills, what a great opportunity to do it now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several years ago, this writer was planning to quit her unlucrative side job waitressing at a Manhattan sports bar. <em>But<\/em>, I thought, <em>I should learn the \u201cthree-plate carry\u201d before I leave. <\/em>Because the stakes were lower, I wasn\u2019t embarrassed to ask a seasoned waiter to show me how. I also wasn\u2019t as nervous to stack my left arm with plates loaded with fries and towering club sandwiches, and weave around the seating area at increasing speeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Erica Murphy, the career advice editor at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.levo.com\">Levo League<\/a>, says that your co-workers can be a real resource.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s definitely okay to ask someone to teach you something and position it as a learning opportunity,\u201d she says. \u201cOr, you can say, \u2018I\u2019m really interested in this topic, can I help with this project?\u2019 People may be more than willing to accept help.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2  id=\"step-5-create-an-atmosphere-of-growth\"class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 5: Create an atmosphere of growth<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On your way home from work, try not to ruminate about your boss or your work. Morin recommends having a self-reflection routine that is intrinsically rewarding, by asking yourself, \u201c\u2018What skills did I sharpen today? What did I learn or how did I grow a little bit compared to where I was yesterday?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photo credit: Lauren Kallen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No one wants to be Peter Gibbons.
