One of the reasons I left everything back in 2012 to run off to Scotland was so I could love what I do. And I did!!! I had difficult moments, but overall I couldn’t imagine being anywhere else...
So what do I do to reach a zen state when I am not in Scotland? After all, doing what I did and quitting it all to run away is not always an option. We need to find ways to love what we do when what we do isn’t all that loveable.
I find that adding music into the mix helps me tremendously…and if I can sing along, even better!
When I worked my cubicle job I started putting one earbud in so I could have music in one ear and leave the other free for work related stuff.
These days I have an arm band for my iPhone so I can listen to music while I clean.
Another thing that helps is cultivating an attitude of gratitude…such as “Hey, I’m getting so much exercise while I clean…lots of moving around and I can sing along!” or “I’m paying down my debt more and more each day I work and there’s no awful commute!” Etc, etc…
These little things can make the world of difference (at least until I’m ready to run away again ;).
