Want To Be ‘Happier’ in Your Hotel Job? Stop Being Overly Concerned and Worried
Do you despise your hotel job? Are you convinced that you want to quit but are unable to do so because every day is a source of frustration and pain? Try to be less concerned. You’ll be happy as a result of it.
First, determine whether you are taking your professional life far too seriously and personally:
- Are you tired of putting in your all to perform a good job and not being recognised for it?
- Have you ever been so upset with the way your company does things that you wanted to scream?
- Are you hurrying from the minute the clock strike 9 a.m.? Ensuring that you’ve answered all of your emails and satisfied everyone’s expectations?
If you respond yes to any of these questions, you may need to worry less.
That’s not to imply you should “stop caring about your work”. You should be enthusiastic about your task. You should be proud of your valuable, ethical, and professional job. That, however, is your work, not your job.
“Your Work is a Business Transaction”
Your employer requires tasks that you are capable of completing. You perform the work for them, and they pay you for it. That’s is the entirely of the connection.
Maybe you’re persuaded now that you simply need to relax a little bit at work and not take your work-life seriously. But how do you go about it? It is not a switch that can be turned off. You can’t just turn off that emotion if someone is acting like an idiot at work, can you?
Chilling down takes time and experience, so here are a few suggestions:
- Remind yourself that your employment exists to pay your expenses and provide you with the lifestyle you desire: Your task is just to provide for your personal, domestic, and familial needs. “The most important part of your life is not your job”.
- Remind yourself that they are more senior people who can do the caring than you: They are corporate executives who are presumably earning more than twice as much as you are, so let them deal with it. So, why are you caring more than they do if they are content to let the corporation make the incorrect decision or turn a blind eye to problems?
- Put your point of view through, but if they don’t follow through, shrug it off and let them reap what they sow: There’s a delicate line between not caring and caring less at work. So, continue to use your head, express your thoughts, and practice utilising your voice. You don’t want to develop the habit of not thinking and not being confident enough to express your opinions; you may someday go to another profession where people respect your ideas.
- Recognize that it is pointless to always strive to prove your worth to individuals who cannot perceive it: If your manager or organisation does not respect your opinion or appreciate you, you may never be able to change their opinions.
- Try to complain a little less, make a distinction between your professional and personal lives: The more you start drawing firmer lines between your professional and personal lives, the less work becomes a core part of who you are and the less work determines whether or not you’re happy.
“Make time for the other aspects of your life, such as family, friends, hobbies, exercise, and so on.”
This suggestion does not make you a bad employee. Rather it can make you a very good employee. The advice may seem counter-productive, but when you are not too much stressed about your job, you are likely to perform it with more enthusiasm and energy and thus be more productive and more useful.
