5 simple ways to find inspiration in your work-life

Work plays such a big part in our lives. If we’re not in the office, we’re thinking about it, assessing where we’re at in our career and dreaming of the places we want to go.

Are things feeling a little lacklustre recently? Perhaps you’re ready for change but don’t know where to start?

It happens to all of us.

Getting to the root of what you want to do in life is hard, especially when we dedicate so much time trying to pick what to watch next on Netflix.

We all struggle to find motivation in our work from time to time.

Don’t let it get you down; we’re sharing five simple tips to help you find inspiration in your work-life to inspire you into your next great journey.

Try a change of scenery

If you’re not finding inspiration in your office right now, go somewhere else.

It can be as simple as going for a walk or adding some greenery into your space.

Even asking your boss if you can move to that desk in the corner with the view of the street.

Take time to relax

Stress can cloud your mind and hold you back from progress; it can be hard to find any joy in the job if deadlines are looming, and you’re running on caffeine.

It may seem hard, but now is the time to get away from it all, even just for your lunch break.

Taking some space away and clearing your head can help you look at your problem from a new perspective.

Feed your curiosity

If something takes your interest, follow it. There are endless books, videos, articles and blogs out there.

Find something that excites you.

Take a look at people who share the same passion as you and see what they do with it.

Focus on the positive

If you’re only thinking about the things you don’t like or can’t do, it’s going to be hard to move forward.

As cliché as it sounds, doubt can be the biggest thing holding you back.

Don’t give up!

Getting the inspiration you need in your work-life can be a challenge, but it’s not impossible.

Embrace where you’re at now and look for sparks of inspiration. Keep an open mind.

You may already know what you want but need the push to do it. So, what do you want?

Remember you are not alone! We are here to help you find joy in your current role or plan your next move.
