Dear Sam:I feel like I’m in

a bit of a rut. I do the same

thing day in day out, but

with little satisfaction. I

used to love my job! What

do I do? How can I moti-

vate myself? – Michael

Dear Michael:Your feel-

ings are shared by so many

and sometimes we may not

even know why we start feeling this way versus before

when we may have felt really connected to our work.

Let’s go over some ways you can help to reignite your

passion at work!

Challenge yourself

It’s easy to feel stagnant if there is no apparent growth

occurring in your work life. I would recommend seeing if

there’s a new project you could work on. Set yourself an

achievable goal and make sure you celebrate the small

victories to keep yourself motivated about your achieve-

ments. In addition, see if your company has a profes-

sional development program you can participate in, or if

there are any conferences related to your industry you

can attend. This can help push you to continue growing

and learning which can be rejuvenating.

Try something new

A change of scenery is always good! If you can take your

work remote perhaps changing your location could

provide you with a breath of fresh air – literally! Try

restructuring the way you approach your projects, intro-

ducing a new approach, or bringing in an outside opinion.

By doing something new you will be able to keep the day

to day interesting. Try grabbing a coffee and working

at the new place you’ve been wanting to check out to

change up your routine.

Take a break

Another reason you could be experiencing your feelings

is that maybe you just need to take some time away to

recharge.AccordingtotheUSTravelAssociation,“more

than half Americans leave vacation time on the table,

accumulating to 768 million days in 2018.” Time away

allows us to recharge and get a fresh perspective.

A vacation can bring new ideas and approaches to the

work you do.

Invest in your relationships with your coworkers

Sometimes it can be difficult to find purpose in the work-

place, and that causes us to disconnect ourselves even

further. It would be a great idea to get to know your co-

workers. Go grab lunch with some coworkers you haven’t

socialized with. Understanding more about the team you

work with can help you to understand their role and even

potential collaboration for future projects. Further, it

can strengthen your motivation to understand how your

coworkers findmeaning in their work.

Reevaluate your Values.

You mentioned you once loved your job. Think about

what brought you there and the things you love(d). It can

be all too easy to get stuck in the short-term day-to-day

work. Think about the things you care about, and the

values that brought you to where you are today. After a

time, we often lose sight of the reasons we got involved

in the work, as well as the importance of the work we do.

It is easy to lose sight of this, but it is important to just

get back in touch with your values, and what makes you,

well, YOU! The smaller tasks at the jobs we do can feel

menial, but remembering the larger picture at work can

help us to refocus and recalibrate.

Hope this can helps!
