May 30, 2011 - By the end of each work day, do you feel excited and invigorated in anticipation of the next day or physically drained and emotionally spent - actually glad that the day is over? If you are feeling drained or emotionally raw from the day, then it is time to take a step back and figure out what you need to do to make it enjoyable and rewarding. Each day should feel like a precious gift full of unexpected and anticipated joy in what you are doing and why you are doing it. If this is not how you feel, then it is time to know what can and will make you feel this way.
Take an MM&I Moment to write down what would bring you joy and fulfillment in the work that you are currently doing. Write down what would bring you enthusiasm and appreciation. Write whatever comes to mind that makes you smile no matter how absurd it may seem when you write it. Now take a look at the list and choose one thing to focus upon. What can you do to bring that into being? It could be the simplest thing like posting a picture or phrase that reminds you of why you are earning the money you are earning to achieve something else in your life. Whatever it is ... bring it to life. Then before you know it, other aspects of your work will come to life in ways you never imagined.
