Finding Happiness at Work

The word "work" sounds painful. It seems to me absolutely miserable and be very unhappy if we "work" in the wrong place, or work with the wrong attitude. Work is not necessarily a physical place. This is mostly a place in our heads. It 's really only work if it is to play. If we can all find ways to "work" make you want to "play" we are all much happier with what we do and are much better than we do, it is. This is a simple philosophy, is not it? WhoI do not want to play all the time? Perhaps some of "Type A" out there "labor of love" is in contradiction with our hypothesis, but many of them or try something different to escape in their life ... or maybe, just maybe, they have actually found what we are talking about .... a way to work you want to go!

Play does not necessarily mean that we do is simple. In fact, most enjoy the "game" of activities, adults are generally difficult challenges and a degreephysical coercion. We tend to enjoy physical challenges such as mountain biking difficult climbing, gardening, construction and furniture markets DIY projects. When these physical challenges of our time, on our terms, often think of them as comfortable --- hobby or game. Unfortunately, sometimes when they become our hobby structured demands of work per day (gardeners, laborers, construction workers), it seems to drain the fun of our previous activities and be"Work". Of course it is difficult, intellectually demanding work can be fun hobby to consider. People love solving puzzles, playing Brain Teaser Games, reading, organizing some painting, etc. If we are asked to solve puzzles to figure out answers to difficult questions, the documents show business, creating a 'organization or an intricate design for "work", it tends to be exhausting, even debilitating. It is not the physical difficulty ofwhat we do, that makes our hobby into work .... is our mental state of mind!

The first real question that must address in order to find happiness at work is the kind of work we do to make our work was to identify, feel like playing. We will play just how it feels when the majority of the tasks we do things that we would make fun of the job, even if they are not paid for it. This description does not necessarily mean that our work should drink while watching TV, while the beer orShopping for clothes and bags to make him feel like a game. But when you work in a position that the vision and editing video content to find ways of brewing, and tasting of beer for sale to the public, or as a professional buyer, we can perhaps, how we feel '' play instead of 'work' --- especially if you combine the pleasurable aspects of our work with the right mental attitude. In fact, if we are lucky to work with, the television and see us to find REQUIRESdrink beer every day, we will not likely find this work very interesting, after a few days. Find the kind of work we do is a very involved self-analytical, which is far outside the scope of this article, but the type of work we do is an important part of the great career. There are other obvious reasons we can not assign a rule to work --- even "fun job" --- to play with.

In general, there are three spiritual reality that leads us to believe, how we work, rather than leadGame:

1) The loss of liberty ("Commitment")
2) the consequences of what we do at work
3) expectations of others

The lack of freedom is to do what is necessary, not necessarily what they want, even if the task is generally pleasant, if done under our own free choice. This can also be an "engagement". Think about the times we are invited to formal events. With the coming hours, many of us do not feel really concerned. We all caught in and start to feel nervous. InIndeed, how can the party would have to work --- feel like. We work with our friends and spouses about whether or not, we will fight until the last minute --- especially if you have a formal proceeding. But during the feast, we usually recognize a good time and that the only reason I did not want to go because we have to do on our freedom, what we wanted to do at this moment was caught because our free time. Or think back to the days whenwe were children, when we had to do something, even if it is normally a fun activity that we have often rebelled against it because it was not our idea. "I do not want to go out and play now --- I want to stay in and video games." Although not typically "forced" to go to work, do most of us have failed, a real "free choice, we must work to live up to our lifestyle, in most cases. We have something to make time to commit to someone else in exchange for a paycheckand a lifestyle choice. The work is usually the second most important and life-changing commitment that we make in our life --- right after the wedding. And most of us spend more time awake at work when we get home "play" with our spouses and families. At work, we are not free, arbitrary, only the tasks that we want if we put it into practice. Our workshops are usually structured, planned and from each other in a way that we have duties, which can sometimes makedo with what we are interested in doing. Since we are committed to perform tasks in exchange for money, insurance and other services, we are obliged to do what they do not necessarily want it and Usually even on a different program. This commitment to a lack of freedom is usually a primary reason for our hostility to "work" and may explain the difference in our mind between work and play.

negative consequences of our work can also make us lessexuberant as our career. We know if we can not do our job correctly, it involved the public and the consequences for ourselves and others. Knowledge of these possible consequences could put strong pressure on us. If we do what we do, we might lose our jobs, our reputation is damaged or lost money, both personally and for our company. In case of medical science, public safety, military and other dangerous occupations, life can really depend on the consequences of our work.All these factors can influence every aspect of our lives, the lives of our families and the lives of others. This pressure is resulting in life-threatening or less, can be very unpleasant and often we would be able to avoid being together. If we provide consequences at work, usually have no way out, we feel trapped in our responsibility and growing concern about what may happen if we fail. Being caught by the potentially adverse effects in these circumstancesWe may not like what we bring to work. The effects of the game are much less critical in many cases. For example, in most cases when you lose a game, there is only one "L" instead of "W" on our record "/ loss' win. Our ego may be hurt, but it hurts just a little ', then goes away until our next attempt to play.

Many of us are also negatively affected by expectations, real or perceived, that others may have in us. Real and perceived pressure unpleasant expectationsand mental stress. We do not usually like this kind of mental problems and try to avoid as much as possible. If this discomfort is caused by work related activities, many of us prefer to avoid, go to work and terror at the thought of what we do in the office. Also, if we are not entirely sure, as we work, where expectations are to do at the highest level, the pressure increases rapidly and can lead to very anxious in our careers. For example, we oftenresponsibility to provide projects on time and within budget. Our clients, colleagues and supervisors generally expect professional, thorough and detailed projects on time and within your budget. Although we have successfully completed hundreds of similar projects successfully and know how to do it professionally, some of us tend to stay for the possibility of not meeting the expectations of others. This possibility of failure in the eyes of other stresses, many of us in our comfortAreas and then we would like to avoid it. On the other hand, if our thinking is in "play mode, sometimes enjoy the challenges associated with the expectations of others. For example if we have a party and prepare a complicated meal for our guests who will travel to six, we are often happy to be in the kitchen and excited about our culinary creations and how they are received by our guests, especially if we succeed in this menu choice. There isalways the possibility that the dinner was a complete failure, but do not work properly, how it feels (unless we refer to dinner in the first instance in this case the previous paragraph about the "lack of freedom forced" and " Commitment ").

And 'from this analysis found that the way in which we can respond both to our work leads us to fear, or even enjoy it make you want to play. Fortunately, we examine the ways we can help alleviate many ofunpleasant feelings associated with his work and tend to make it feel more like "game".

We understand that losing our liberty is a basic, we compensated for our work. We will pay for this, give our free time. There are very few ways around this if we are not capable of a career that did not call the calendar and find randomly aligned with our interests. Even people who give the most complete work to receive a large degree of freedom seem to haveCompensation for their work. Customers Everyone who works for fun or money - customers, or fans who demand something in return for their protection. Donald Trump has to serve its tenants and financiers and content, together with the press, which is all the time. Trump says he works all the time, and seems to learn to work as if they enjoy playing, but not all of his time is free time. Tiger Woods will be without relaxing days at home dying practiceSessions and tournaments, which led him to win tournaments, and his family please his fans and supporters. For many of us work in Tiger as "Play" and even though he has probably done more than many of us like our jobs, you see, he would probably agree with the term "game" for what he does. Anyone can programmatically freedom that we are willing to give and the type of work that we are operating, control, until we can manage the trade-offs. If you are comfortablewith the level of compromise that we in a position in our work programs and tasks have to negotiate, we will certainly be happier in our jobs, because our freedom is increased, although it can not be totally free for as long .

Control of the consequences of our work is a very difficult task. There are no consequences, all our actions, but if we realize that we are the risks and consequences of our work through careful preparation and checking, can reduce the chance of failure,Minimize the disturbance caused by the consequences of our work. Another key to limiting the anxiety is caused by obtaining a result, negative consequences to respond positively. First, we must not put in positions where the consequences of our work to create potentially disastrous consequences in our lives beyond what we can bear. Reduces risks to a tolerable level and sent to the levels of potential fail to meet your risk. When yourincreasing success, the possibility of loss in a sustainable manner. At the same time realistic about the seriousness of the consequences. It is not likely to happen if your intentions are good, but losing a job is not necessarily the end of the world until they are in a position to one that does not require you to change your lifestyle to find on your tolerance. Most of us can work for other companies and to find a similar compensation. Understand the risks you take is usually a sort ofReward for success and be sure that your company agrees. Focus on the positive consequences, such as more money for your business and yourself, or concentrate on your support and the call to step your successes. Do not dwell on the negative consequences, but be aware of them. Are a part of everything we do. This is rudimentary Yin and Yang.

That puts us under pressure from expectations of others can also be controlled. If we train, to assess the outcomeour work with our standards, undermining the real or perceived expectations of others, a lot of our fears can be tamed, allows us to really enjoy what we do, but it is feared. There are many ways in the past, expectations for others. Although it is difficult to do, focus on their work so that your personal requirements. Focus not on yourself than anyone else --- focus on their expectations. If your expectations are reasonable, you will probablysuccessfully without the burden of concern for the expectations of your customers, clients, superiors or colleagues. The most expectations, the fear is in your head and you can see that your own expectations already higher than the others. Focus on your expectations provide significant relief of jobs and fear is possible to expand your own expectations with every success, increasing the standards and improving the quality of whatThey do.

The combination of all these reasons that many of us tend not to accept certain jobs leads us to conclude that we demonstrated our capabilities in current positions as above. But there is another way to eliminate these worries from your life working for the same job in a career that does not really, other people: If you are a "Lone Eagle." Working for himself as the "Lone Eagle", you are eliminating workers and supervisors job "from your work-life equation.You can also use their calendar to some extent (according to what you choose to create). Although most of all, the money independently to sell at the mercy of their customers and if we produce something, as he is, and accept a watered-take-it-or-leave-it "makes mindset, we are by isolating also worry about the consumer, as long as the product we produce is of interest to people, and is of reasonable quality. This attitude can bereduced population of consumers in what we sell, interested, but if we can maintain an acceptable lifestyle probably due to lower sales as a result of our "take-it-or-leave-it" attitude that there are important functions eliminates the labor unrest.

Most of the products Lone Eagle developed a special "niche". to mitigate some potential "Lone Eagle" of jobs to avoid distress caused by the lack of impact freedom of work and the expectations of others: Includes

A) Authority
2) Fine Artist
3) Investors
4) Specialty Baker / culinary artist
5) street artist
6) Independent Sales Rep
7) Inventor
8) product manufacturers
9) Software manufacturers
10), photographer / videographer

Find what you enjoy doing and to develop a similar approach, as we mentally deal with the realities of our job is to find the key to happiness at work. If we grasp this reality and choose to be making changes to ourto improve career paths in a conscious effort on our professional lives will begin our work, play and feel more like our lives are much more satisfied and happy.
