We don’t always work on projects we like.
Most tasks are routine, and we often experience a dip in enthusiasm. There are days when we drag ourselves and continue to work cluelessly. Despite spending the entire day working, we sleep dissatisfied because we allowed the day to run us.
How to feel more in charge? Well, I am the same as you, but here are certain ways that have helped me:
– Appreciating the little and more that we do helps us take pride in our work.
– Coming back to the task in hand again and again keeps us from going adrift.
– We need to disassociate ourselves with the feeling of boredom and understand that real life happens in the routine.
– We should take conscious and planned breaks in between before fatigue sets in. Breaks can involve reading, conversing, meditating, and more.
– While we work steadily, we should relieve ourselves of the constant pressure of ‘doing’ all the time. We often think that the time we are not working is wasted time, but even non-doing is a part of life.
We may not always choose the work, but we can choose how we show up each day.
