Whistle while you work

When you think of the word "work", what is the first thing that comes to mind? Is it drudgery, obligation, boring, frustrating? Or is it fun, challenging, energizing, creative? How you describe your work is how you experience it. Did you know that at least 50% of Americans find the work that they do to be unsatisfying? Your work should not be equated with a prison sentence. If that is the case, ask yourself what you can do to change that mindset. You may not be in the occupation that best matches who you are and what you have to offer. Perhaps that is something you need to consider changing. Maybe you are in a rut and need to do something to revitalize your motivation. Maybe you need to identify what you find to be enjoyable in the work you currently do and do more of it. Imagine that becoming the focus of your work day and now looking forward to going to work each day. You may find yourself being transformed from Grumpy into Happy. Begin with your current attitude toward work and consciously decide to do something about it. What was the first thing that you associated with work and how is that working for you?
