I wake up every morning full of gratitude for the work I do and full of excitement because I absolutely love my work. Why? Because it wasn't always this way!
Since I took a flying leap of faith and left the land of corporate comfort 4 years ago, my work has gradually evolved into something I can immerse myself in with joy. As I have refined and refined what it is I do, how I do it and each day look at the question of when and where I work, I can honestly say that it is rare for me to have a day where I don't love every moment!
As a business coach (one of my multiple hats!) I talk to many small business owners every day. I've come to see that most of them still have a way to go in creating this daily joy in their work. So today I am asking you to do one simple thing: just for today, only make choices that will allow you to 'love your work' - and really look at what would allow you to love each part of the work you undertake today...
- Do you just need to approach a task with a sense of joy it will be over soon?
- Do you need to look at that person that annoys you and take comfort from the idea you are contributing to feeding their family?
- Do you need to stop doing a few things that don't add value to your day?
- Do you need to create a space that brings you joy to work in?
- Do you need to totally invent your job or business so that you regain the sense of playful excitement you first started out with?
Whatever will allow you to love your work today, make a start! And see how you feel at the end of the day... maybe your Monday-itis won't be quite so intense this week!!
I will soon be sharing my new 'Love Your Work' 10 week e-coaching program with you... if you aren't loving your work, make sure you are signed up to the Revive Business Coaching free resources list to discover more!
Love Your Work! Lisa
P.S. Did you know that loving your work is contagious? What if you were surrounded by people that love their work? Would that make your work way more blissful? Be you... change the world!
