I just had to share this with you when i read it.
Dr Suzanne Koven who works at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston wrote an eye-opening article on the effects of job dissatisfaction and mental health.
“People who don’t enjoy or feel fulfilled by their work are more likely to be anxious and depressed and, to a lesser degree, more likely to have physical symptoms”.
Dr Koven goes on to say that she has seen “patients with headaches, nausea, dizziness, tremors, and back pain which disappear on the weekend (unless they happen to work on the weekend). In one dramatic case, a patient who hated her job began vomiting every Sunday night and threw up repeatedly until Friday”.
SO you see my friends, enjoying your work and gaining real fulfilment (the type that resonates with your spirit and soul) is not ‘a nice to have’ it’s a ‘MUST have’ for optimum mental health.
Ask yourself:
Are you living the highest vision for yourself?
Do you feel like you’re contributing with your work?
Are you mentally, emotionally and spiritually stimulated by the work you do?
Are you making a difference with your work or just tryin to get by, week- in, week- out?
Just like your body needs to be stimulated by exercise and nutrition for optimum physical health, the same is true for your mental health. You need stimulation from work that YOU derive meaning from. Remember, this is not a ‘nice to have’, it’s a ‘MUST have’.
Fortunately we have a way to address this so that your current job doesn’t become a mental health problem for you. We have an upcoming Training that will be addressing exactly what Dr Koven is referring to: How to Get Meaning / Satisfaction From Our Work.
The training is free and it is coming your way very soon.
