FINDING BLISS IN YOUR WORK
Is it really possible to "find something you love to do and get paid for it"? According to this article from
careerjournal.com, achieving this type of "bliss" in our work is possible.
"Bliss" is defined as being in a "flow state" where you're so completely involved in what you're doing you forget about yourself and are performing optimally.
There are seven conditions in a job that can help foster this state of "bliss".
They include:
-
Balance
-
Meaningfulness
-
Purpose
-
Control
-
Ensuring your company's values correspond with your own
-
Vision
-
A map to achieve this vision.
To get yourself into your own state of "bliss" at work, click on the link below.

This article from experience.com offers tips on how to diffuse difficult situations with your colleagues.
Focus on improving your work relationship. Remember you don't necessarily have to be friends with each other.
Discuss how the disagreement is keeping both of you from doing your jobs effectively and work to find solutions to the problem.
