Keep feeling negative when I know it's not good for me

It is not enough to make a living. work also has to make a life. Yes the routine jobs become boring in course of time. But there are different people in the world, some want thrilling and challenging tasks every day, others who shiver with the thought of anything new and challenging. I think one must try to find a job which is in line with one's temperament, skills and talents. Find out what type of work you like and examine if you have necessary skills and talents. If not then try to acquire and change your job. otherwise it remains just what you said-a means of paying your bills"

Sounds like you are in a rut. You should try changing your routine. You might be depressed. You need to get up and move. Change when you do things. Do things for yourself. When you are in a rut you feel put upon, as if the things you do are all negative and not good for you. Change things around!

Well I think almost all of us has been where you are.. I also feel the same way like you do most of the time or everytime I am bored... But like what you said you know its not healthy for you to stay negative so I guess your the only one who can solve that.. and about your job, dont worry you are not alone theres a lot of person out there who even hates their job but still sticking on it because its what giving them bread and butter... Sometimes when its always there we forgot how to appreciate small things around us... that actually can makes us happy.. I hope youll feel better soon, and dont forgot to smile :) and fight those negatives feelings your having...:)

HI Jacklin! I think yu need some changes. Why don't you find other job? When you get offers or get job in other field you can settles with the current one. Find jobs that you like. Horror movies is good but the comedy is much better!I get to watch the comedy movies whenever I feel down. The laughter will light myself up!(^^)

Unfortunately we become part of a machine. We all start out with all this energy and all these dreams, then we wind up just going through the motions. The older we get, the harder it is to break free from that. I have been there myself, I wound up in a bad place myself. There is an old saying, you never get rich working for someone else. Working becomes something that just helps pay the bills, then it is like chasing yourself. I feel this way.

You are feeling unhappy because you think you deserve something better. So you can't accept the present situation.But the more you try to escape from them, the tighter they will grab you. So the more depressed you will get.Try to accept your negative thoughts, knowing that they are also part of your life. First you feel painful when you face the truth but later you'll find it's not that harder than at first. Anyway work is just work,doing a boring job doesn't mean you are boring. You can have your life, see, you have many activities, that's your lifestyle, who cares about job, just for the money so you live your life!

I don't know how to recapture the thrill in your work but I do know in your free time you should seek what you Like to do. Maybe there is a career in it! Hang in there. I'm living proof that things do get better.

Self help books aren't always the best thing. They make you feel as if you must do things this way or that, or make you feel as if you don't feel this good, or don't have this much then you aren't doing things right. I would suggest just looking in the mirror each day and saying "I am a good person, I am great at my job and I enjoy it." You will eventually believe it yourself, and you will feel better about yourself. You can also say things like "I work to better myself, and my family."

Read the Secret again and follow the directions. Determine your goals, surround yourself with these goals, make a picture board, put pictures on the mirror, write your goals over and over and place these in places your eyes rest. All this is done to train your subconscious mind. Make lists of the steps necessary to reach your goal and research your goal through the Internet and books. Get your mind working toward your goal and get yourself so excited about the goal that no negative energy can enter into this process. If you continue to have negative thoughts make lists of them and then find a way to turn them around. You don't like your job, it's boring? Right? Well take your job and break it into small jobs, then figure how you can do each of these better. Only you can challenge yourself and you need to learn how to do that. Many of us have the same job all our working life so it is up to us to make it interesting I don't care if it's sweeping floors, each day I can learn how to do this better, maybe the way I sweep, even how long a stroke I make, maybe I need to trim the broom to reach into the corners, maybe I need to make a exercise routine out of it, like deeper knee bends. Anyway try some or all of these, you are smart you get the point. You are in charge of you.

Hi Jackie! Yes sounds like you are tired of routines, I am not blaming you as I too get this way from time to time. I would say that anything you would like to do, set out a plan of some type and not rush to do them all. Little by little you will see what you like and do not like and ex out anything that you definitely don't. But do not be hard on yourself if you can achieve something, at look at all the pros and cons before, you begin another phase. Life is short sweetie and unless we try we will not know what we missed out on.

You may be suffering minor depression or situational depression...where life is boring and nothing seems like it's worth the effort. Setting goals is a good way to motivate one's self, achievable goals that is...Start with something you know you can accomplish with a bit of effort, attaining that goal may be enough to spur you onto others and thus reduce this feeling of ennui. If it doesn't help, then I suggest you go to a doctor to find out if you may be suffering from depression and what can be done about it.

If you are not happy with everything sometimes it is really hard to feel negative no matter how you try. But you must put into mind how this can affect your present situation, because it can surely do you no good knowing that that can hinder a better understanding for you to acquire some ideas on how to solve it. And we have to remember that our life is much better than some other people in the world who are really less fortunate. Just try living with it for a while and accept it until you can figure out ways how to finally acquire the kind of life that can truly make you happy.

One way to look at it is to actually write down what the good and bad of your job is. If the negative far outweigh the positives then move on and try to find other work. You can list things like (stable job, good benefits, good pay, bad schedule, bad co-workers, etc..). I think it is natural to get bored of your job. You can either improve your job or improve your free time. Take a class, join a club or take on a new hobby can take you away from the everyday mundane activities. Taking on more work at your job and trying to increase your skills to get a promotion or department transfer could also be an option. And honestly routine can be good in that you know what to expect and you aren't under a lot of stress at work so you have more energy when you come home and do things you really do enjoy. But the true goal is to find positive things to think about. If work isn't good make your home life better so you can daydream about it while you work. If your home life sucks try to do more activities outside of the home and make your job better. Hope this helps. =)
