As we are coming to the end of May, Mental Health Awareness Month, I want you to ask yourself, are you happy at work? Is your current job giving you the satisfaction that you require? ✨ According to studies, the average person in a full-time job spends one third of their life at work, THAT’S A HUGE CHUNK of your life! Therefore, it is crucial that we are happy in our job, as this can have a massive impact on our overall mental health. To ensure that you are in the right job for you, ask yourself, does the company have a good working culture? Is your team supportive? Are you surrounded by positive people? Is there good morale? Is your manager supporting you? Is there opportunity for you to grow? Do you have a good work life balance? Are you able to be your authentic self? Do you enjoy what you do? If the answer is no to the above questions, then it may be time to start seeking a new opportunity. On the other hand, you may love your job but you are still feeling stressed, so I wanted to also share some things to prevent work stress: ·       Start your day with a morning walk ·       Begin your day with breath-work ·       Be organized and structure your day ·       Take regular breaks throughout the day ·       Make time for yourself and hobbies ·       Communicate with others throughout the day ·       Make time to exercise - regularly ·       Eat Healthy 🌻 Please feel free to share more tips to help others below 🌻 #CareerAdvice #JobSatisfaction #WorkLifeBalance #MentalHealthAwareness

A great read - I do wonder how many people believe it’s important to be happy at work and how many people are just in a job because they think the next place might be just as bad or if people are genuinely in the job and happy
