When Work Gets on Top of You

There comes a time in everyone’s working life when we need to stand back and evaluate our position at work and acknowledge that we may be feeling dissatisfied.

It is accepted that every job has its bad days along with the good days and even those downright awful days when we literally run out of the building at five o’clock. However if it feels like everyday is turning into your worst nightmare and you are starting to dread getting up in the morning you need to take stock. If you’re finding that simple tasks are getting on top of you, that the old filing cabinet is annoying you as it blocks your desk or you’re finding it difficult to be civil to work colleagues then take these as signs that you may have a wider issue that is niggling you.

In this economic climate finding a new job is difficult and changing career even more so. Therefore it is prudent to take time to assess your feelings about your current job rather than making a rash and hasty decision.

If you are suffering from sleepless nights and feel constantly stressed then the situation isn’t a healthy one. Initially try to change your daily routine and make time for relaxation time which may make the job more bearable.

Try biking to work or taking a walk at lunch. Going to the gym after work to work off the stress can also help or take up yoga to relax.
