My Current job. Ever since I have been under this new manager he has done nothing but thrown rocks in our departments moral. Does he not understand that you can not micro manage a group of people that have done very well with out that kind of management. My theory is if it is not broke then why mess with it. We have had two other managers and they understood this and work with us. We have had good production and not many errors. Now the level of errors has jumped and the feeling of stress is very evident. I am an administrative assistant so why am I going to classes on how to put handcuffs on kids that we work with. I should be taking classes for excel or something that relates to my job title. Strange beans indeed.
But the point to my story is this, with that kind of stuff going on in my personal or professional life it has caused me to think that I should leave that job. So this has added job search to my list of things to do. Then filing suits for other negative treatment. It totally reduced my production of what I wanted to do online and with this blog and my other blog. So I have done only the bear basic things. you see my mind has only had the desire to do work around the house and tend to the needs of my job. With the additional training days and time schedule changes my system and my inter clock are all in a whack!!.
I believe that in an earlier post I told you about working on a website that is attached to this blog. I am new at building a website so that takes time and study and more work to figure out how to add things to it, and how it looks and functions. Right now it is live and up but I still have so much work to do with it. It is in no way how I want it to be. But it is up! So if you will; bear with me with the building of the website. The time I spend worrying about weather I have a job next week to continue the work I need to do on the blogs, the website, product creation and marketing is a little overwhelming at this time in my life. Remember now, I also work as a direct sales person with two companies I like and love promoting and I have a family, house and home to tend to.
My theory here is you never put all your eggs in one basket with all that I trying to do. So I had to slow down with some things and it is how I come to how my time and my thoughts have been wasted.
For both blogs I like to create my own images. This has also suffered due to this situation at my current job. I do beat myself up for not working online with the things I put forth for myself. However I also know and understand that I must give my self a break and not beat up on self too much. I am a positive person and when things happen in the negative I have to get myself back into gear and handle disappointments and cheer my self up. Create the positive in my life once again. It is a form of regrouping and settling down and do motivating activities that trigger my desires and empower me to work more on my own creations and perspective of self.
In other words get happy again. Smile. Some of the things I have to do are these. 1. Stop waiting until! that is why the site is active, 2. Stop trying to be perfect. I am only human and things happen that are out of my control. and the site does not have to be perfect. I am also changing my goal of how often I will write on both blogs to twice a month until this 9 to 5 mess is a little more under control. 3. Read more positive things. 4. I can not sit with co workers and chat about what the heck is going on at work. that also is not productive and it does not make one feel good. After all it is a job that I have no control of. That is so why I started wanting to work for self.
So I must embrace this opportunity and that internal grace. So today this post in a way has been my journal to vent and it has made me feel better so it is therapeutic. I have gotten that off my chest.
I will also say this as well. I have spent time out side a lot during this time. It seems to me that it also has help me and if you are going though any thing like this or you just have situations in your life.
Give your self a break, and get out and do things in the fresh air and don't constantly talk about your problems but, talk about thinks that are positive, Meditating is also good for clearing your mind. It can help you see things in a new light.
I always think about helping others and to put your mind on other people is another good way to help yourself by helping others. I do think that from what I write this can help others see that giving yourself permission to be befuddled at times is human. After all that is what we are. Things happen and there will always be something that falls in the road on your way. Stop deal with it and move on.
Brainstorm and de-stress in ways that are pleasurable and that make you feel good about yourself for yourself. See the solutions in a positive light will help you.
I also find that daydreaming is a big help too. Because it is with those ideas that are created and envisioned with in the day dream which, can motivate and encourage you to cheer up and identify what really is important to you and set you back on the road of your intentions. It resurrect and engages your emotions.
Our thoughts and emotions affect our motivation. This is the level at which you are able to find a reason to act. Also to think rational; that someone else job is not yours to take any ownership in. Which leads us to feel possessive about our jobs and the duties we preform. This is what I also had to come to see that I was doing. You can not really do that with a job that is not yours. Sure you can be proud of the work you do as I have. However don't get the two confused.
Here is a little quote that illiterates what I mean with changing your mindset to one that is more positive and more rational when thinking of being motivated and developing emotional intelligence. To live learn and grow by being aware of our thinking and handling our emotions. I will talk on that subject the emotional intelligence in another post.
Optimism is essential to achievement and it is also the foundation of courage and true progress. Nicholas Murray Butler.
Have a great week. See you soon!
