Gratitude - The Simplest Solution For Shift Worker Unhappiness

Are you unhappy in your current shift working job? Do you dread going into work each day knowing that you just don't want to be there?

If so, then I might just have the answer for you.

It's called gratitude.

You see whenever you're feeling frustrated and jaded at work - this puts you in a negative frame of mind which inadvertently adds to your fatigue and overall feeling of unhappiness.

How you think at work can have a huge impact on your energy levels- or more appropriately, your lack of energy.

We all know that shift work is physically demanding on our bodies. OK let's not kid ourselves here - it's absolutely exhausting.

But if your attitude and mindset about work is in the wrong place to begin with, then you are only adding to your fatigue and overall feeling of unhappiness. It's a bit like being around a really negative person all of the time - they sap your energy big time!

So the next time you feel disgruntled about work, instead of saying, "I have to go to work today," change it to "I get to go to work today".

Because so many of us today focus on all of the negative things and on what we don't have in our lives, as opposed to what we do have.

We feel that our lives would be better if we drove a certain type of car, lived in a certain area or neighbourhood, wore certain types of clothes and so on.

We essentially forget to live in the moment - that is, being grateful for what we already have in our lives instead of focussing on all that we don't have.

So the next time you're feeling a bout of 'shift worker unhappiness' coming on, I want you to remember that there are many people around the world who would just love to be able to "go into work". Unfortunately for them, they may not have a job to go too or their ill health prevents them from doing so.

Gratitude in life is everything. When you begin to change your thinking from someone who is unhappy and miserable all of the time, to someone who is thankful and appreciative, your shift working job and everything else in your life will begin to improve for the better.

Begin by trying this for just one day. I promise you won't be disappointed.

What is the number one cause of the Unhappiness and Misery?

While I know that this is a bit painful, Sincerely welcome anyway to take a few moments to complete a look at the world and unhappiness and misery that overwhelm that overwhelm us all.

What did you notice? Where does the unhappiness and misery come? Do you know the number one reason?

Many of us blame alone, or oppression, or war or hatred or violence, and so on. We were confused. There is only one reason to unhappiness and misery: the irrational thoughts and false beliefs, which the population of our minds-thinking of suicide, and beliefs, which are widespread and common that never crosses our minds, or even asking them. It is because of these irrational thoughts and false belief that we have a distorted vision of the world that we have a prejudiced image of ourselves.

Our conditioning is so strong and public pressure is placed on us so intense, we need to somehow trapped in our own perception of the world. And as long as it ignores us, that our perception is distorted, that he is irrational and that our beliefs are false-at least some of them! -will still be impossible for us to escape from this overwhelming unhappiness and misery.

What complicates further is that we must somehow have been programmed not to suspect not to doubt, but blindfold focus and confidence lessons taught by our traditions, our culture, our society, our religion and so on. And when we feel, frustrated and miserable, most often we feel guilty and also because we can also test are already known to blame and we-and does not devalue the conditioning, the cultural background, the irrational ideas and false beliefs, which the population of our minds.

The good news is the irrational thoughts and beliefs false we must experience and it is believed that so many years, perhaps we have the capacity to challenge and replace them with self-helping thoughts and beliefs that will create real and sustainable happiness in our lives.

Difficult-and sometimes very difficult-you bet! Impossible, absolutely not! As Louise l. Hay so beautifully says, "thought is the idea, and can be changed according to."

"What are these irrational thoughts and false beliefs that keep us from truly revolutionary?" you ask. Not only are many of them, but I promise to examine the most popular, with you as part of my next articles. In the meantime, let me leave you with this exciting tips with Dr. Wayne w. Dyer: "Don't believe everything you think."
