Dreading Monday morning? Spice up your work life

Already dreading Monday morning? Put the spice back into your work life and love what you do so that you can start enjoying your job again.

Similar to what can happen in any relationship, the passion fizzles once the newness and glitz fade. If the search is on for another position in the same field, or a new job in a different field, ask 'why?' Then find time to realize the many positives and reignite passion for your career.

According to Women's Health Magazine, a key question you should ask is, when was the last time you zoned out the rest of the world and really spent some intimate time with your favorite parts of the job?

Suggestions: steal moments of quiet time with the door closed or put a set of headphones on so you can really focus.

Also, instead of multi-tasking, concentrate on crossing off one item from your To-Do list at a time, and give it your full attention so you can crank out your best work. 

Arrange some of these into goals for 2010 resolutions. Emphasize balance and happiness as significant components to the overall scheme. Above all, stop thinking that the grass is greener somewhere else, since chances are high that it is not. Enjoy the great parts to your job and rekindle the zeal for what you do.
