You don't have to like it, you just need to be good at it.

How many of you have heard that phrase before? You don't have to like it, you just need to be good at it.  I have been told by so many people that I am so good at my Customer Service job but I really don't like it. Today as I was thinking about how much I don't like my job and then I thought how odd is it that we are not more eager to do things that we consider something for you.  I go to work for someone else every day and follow their rules and do what they want me to for 8 hours. I should want to go home and do things that are beneficial for me and my family, but I don't. After working for someone else we are so burnt out all we want to do is veg, rest our brain.

During my crazy leave I was so much more productive, active and ate better.  Now that I am back to work I sit around all day at my job and then when I get home. We also started eating out all the time again.  Here are some interesting statistics for you about your job and your health.  68.5% of Adult Americans are obese and 70% of Adult Americans don't like their jobs.  INTERESTING! Coincidence, I don't think so…..  I don't think you can have stats that are that close and have them not be related.  Even though it isn't an excuse it is very interesting to think about.  It is proof that if you love your job you tend to do things to love your self more.  So you should really try to do something you love.  If you can't do something you love you need to focus on making sure you are doing things to love yourself.

So how am I going to try to make sure I am doing things to love me more?  Part of it is unfortunately just discipline and the other part is I am going to have to become a morning person.  The morning is the best time to attack the day with the things you want and need to do for you. If you don't do it first thing by the end of the work day you will push your needs away for the needs of your kids, family or just the need to veg after a long day at work.  As my shift changes on Nov 1st my goal is to be up at 5:45AM everyday.
