For some of us, the word means passion and inspiration, the energy to move mountains when you love what you do. The Cambridge Dictionary defines enthusiasm as "a feeling of energetic interest in a particular subject or activity and an eagerness to be involved in it." Given that work represents quite a big chunk of our lives, we ought to talk about enthusiasm in the workplace.
This is one of those moments when a short checklist comes in handy. Looking at our five statements below, how many of these can you relate to?
If you can relate to at least three of these statements, take it as the sign you have been waiting for and let's continue talking about enthusiasm. Or, to be precise, a lack of it.
Consider the following before it turns into a rabbit hole, which often becomes a mental and physical black hole.
Take a week off. Take a break. Talk to yourself honestly and clarify your values and priorities. Think of what fills you with energy, ENTHUSIASM, joy and inspiration. And if it has nothing to do with your current job, it's time to get what you deserve – a position that can give you a feeling of purpose, putting your talent and skills into everything you do. Make an inventory of your skills, abilities and real wishes – and imagine the professional path that would make you wake up in a great and creative mood.
Remember we called enthusiasm a wallet word? When enthusiasm is back at work, you will get passion, inspiration, energy and the ability to move mountains as a sweet bonus.
At Kelly, we know much about bringing back those lost positive feelings and emotions at work. We like to show that there's a limitless world of opportunities and that everyone can live feeling needed, appreciated and successful.
Talk to us today. Five "no" to the test above will be your reward. And ours too.
