This week’s blog theme has been happiness; where do you deserve more and how can you get it? I’ve discussed how to deal with people who feel stuck in their position in work or school, how to abandon the idea of boredom, and questioned if Americans are spending enough time at one job to master it. When you’ve been searching for a job in your career for the last six months, it might be hard to have positive thoughts about your career choice. When you’ve been doing the same monotonous task for the last 3 years or have been struggling in a new job since your first day, it might be hard to feel happy about what you do for a living.
So, when do you know when you need to demand something more from your job and how do you move forward?
For some, boredom might seem like a natural reaction to school, work, and life. In Monday’s blog, I discussed the connection between what we think and what we do and how taking responsibility for our choices affects our happiness. Today we’ll look at the responsibility we have to assess our situation and alleviate boredom in our daily lives—a concept which many outside of America can’t relate to at all.
