Liberation, also called enthusiasm, enthusiasm or enthusiasm, has become increasingly popular lately. After all, many employees are convinced that advocacy helps to reduce absenteeism and increase work performance. That’s certainly true, but how do you put your enthusiasm for your private life? How can you live and exercise life so that you have a vital and fit feeling?
You are reading this article about this “secret weapon” against burnout!
What is freedom?
Before we get into the depths of diving, we have a definition of freedom. Because what exactly is it?
Many definitions have been found for clergy at work, so therefore, with this introduction, I write about job satisfaction at work. Later on in this article we go into a happy life and how you can keep it vital and healthy.
Concentration is actually a combination of several factors:
• Commitment
• Energy
• “Flow”
Definition of Liberation
Wilmar Schaufeli, Dutch Labor and Organization Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist and Professor of Occupational and Organizational Psychology at Utrecht University, Utrecht, gives the following definition of enthusiasm:
“Liberation is a positive, affective-cognitive state of supreme satisfaction, characterized by vitality, dedication and absorption. This is accompanied by energy bubbles, feeling strong and fit, able to work long and tirelessly with work and have great mental resilience and great perseverance. ”
How does a burnout occur?
Very short through the bend you could say that a burnout occurs if day after day more energy is consumed than you get back.
See it as a kind of savings account , you get constant money but do not occasionally make a deposit. Well, then your money will be on. Or worse, you’ll get red.
That’s how it’s with your energy too.
If you consume more energy month after month, and you get little to nothing for back then your energy level drops every month. After that, it takes a lot of effort to replenish your energy reserve.
If you consume more energy for a long time than you build, you will be in a burnout. Your energy reserve has been burned. You do not have a puff more and no willpower to take business. Simply because you literally do not have the energy anymore. Why freedom helps to keep a burn-out remotely If, on the other hand, you also take activities every month that makes you happy and give you new energy, you’ll keep it for longer. Even better: do so much every month of such activities that, as it were, you make big savings on your energy savings account. You will then build a reserve for times when your skin is less well.
If you do things that you like, what you get excited about, or where your blood will flow faster, you’re likely to get new energy. But how do you find the things you’re getting energy from?And how do you create enthusiasm at work?
Liberation at work
Previous research has shown that about 1 in 5 people are really happy. How can you make sure that you become a fellow employee?
What was previously thought was that the workload was too high when one no longer got the job is now thinking about support and motivation . Sometimes it’s not just work pressure, but just the last two factors that matter. One must be intrinsically motivated and able to work autonomously to be inspired.
Some items to be a fellow employee do not have your own hand. It is nice and conducive if the management clearly communicates clearly. Also praise prizes help the enthusiasm.
Those things are not entirely in your hands, they are external factors.
Yet, to some extent, you can awaken your enthusiasm by addressing your own energy sources. By monitoring your energy level and adjusting your workflow, you can create the perfect match.
Job demands versus energy sources
Job requirements are specific tasks that you must perform , they belong to your job.These can be physical tasks, but also organizational, social or mental tasks. Performing these tasks takes energy. However, that does not have to be a negative thing in itself.
It will only be stressful if your job requirements are not related to your energy.
That is why you speak your own energy sources so that a good balance of work and workload is created. These are sources that give you energy.
Examples of this are:
• High self-esteem
• Optimistic attitude
• Can work effectively
• Stress resistance
• Can work autonomously
• Feedback from colleagues received
• Valuation of colleagues and supervisors
• Support from colleagues
• Opportunities to develop and grow
As you can see, there are both personal and business energy sources. Do not think of yourself that you can not be inspired if you are not fainted by nature. Everyone can become a happy person, if you know the right sources of energy and find the match between what you want and what you can.
The benefits of enthusiasm at work
The paid employee offers not only benefits for himself but also for the employee. This employee is brushing the energy, is well in his skin and is in a hurry. His happy mood makes him easy to do something extra. He is going to work happily and quickly gets into a flow . He undoubtedly issues problems during the day, but then he does not stop trying. He feels healthy and energetic. He is both involved and connected with the organization. Due to its energy and optimism, this inspired employee offers innovative solutions and improved performance. He is more customer-friendly than his poor-humored colleagues and experiences his work as useful. He is not often sick, makes few mistakes and feels balanced.
How do you create enthusiasm as a human?
Work for yourself and think now “Well, what can I do with this?”
As a human, you often have no colleagues around you who can support you. You can not get a manager’s appreciation. What then? What else can you do to work?
One of the benefits of working for yourself is that you can do things in your own way. So you can work autonomously – one of the ingredients for a happy life. In addition, you do not need anything, this enables you to work extremely effectively. After all, you can do whatever you want to do, there is no boss that needs this or yours.
These are two major benefits of working. Furthermore, it is very dependent on your personality. Are you naturally an optimist or a pessimist? How do you deal with setbacks? Where do you get energy from?
Further in this article I treat the ways to lead a flown life, so not only will you be a fellow employee but you will feel a fellow person.
Work addicted or fought?
But before you read about this, I would like to give this to you: liberation is something different than work addiction.
Work addiction leads to burnout. Hard work is not necessarily needed to be inspired.Mettering work is rather a sign of work addiction than freedom.
You undoubtedly know people who seem to stop their soul and bliss in their work. They are at the office and arrive for the rest and they go last. They are constantly busy, but at the same time attend all meetings and always finish their work. This has the effect that the laptop is still busy in the evening and almost non-stop. This employee will even be in charge of his weekend even.
Is it good or bad now?
Without further context, I would say: bad.
This seems more like work addiction than on clarity. Liberation begins with yourself. It’s intrinsic as it’s called. Work addiction, on the other hand, arises from the urge to prove yourself or to reap the appreciation of others.
Liberation is good, provided it is not a work addiction in disguise.
Liberation at home
It’s nice to be a fellow employee, but there’s more to life than just work.
How can you make sure that you become a happy partner or grown up at home? How can you make sure you always have a vital, fit and strong feeling?
‘Priming’
One of the ways to raise energy is through a so-called morning ritual.
Performance coach Tony Robbins uses a 9-minute meditation ritual. He calls it priming . This comes from the English word prime , which means excellent. It means that you give yourself an excellent feeling.
His approach looks like this:
1. Gratitude [3 minutes] : Be thankful for three different things for three minutes. Think about simple things like the sun rays on your face or the smell of fresh coffee.
2. Inner Power [3 minutes] : Tony then focuses on the body for three minutes. You can focus on your emotions, your thoughts or your “soul.” Whatever name you give to it, keep calm with body and mind. Visualize a liquid substance that slowly fills your body with light. This light gives you energy and power. Feel how this energy takes away your stress and ensures success. Visualize how you are going to be successful today.
3. A day of prosperity [3 minutes] : The last three minutes focus on what you are going to do today. Visualize these things as if you already did them. How does that feel? What do you see? What do you hear?
This is a powerful way to start the day and bring you to the correct mental state. Why is it so effective?
Gratitude exceeds the other emotions. You can not be grateful and angry at the same time, says Tony Robbins. In addition, he uses visualization because the brain does not distinguish between what it sees and what you see the laughter for the brain are both real situations. By imagining how you will be successful and stress free today, substances in your brain are created as if the actual situation is already.
Other ways to start your day are:
• Listen to music where you get an energy boost .
• Go to the morning sports . This gives you more energy for the rest of the day.
• Take caffeine-free periods . So your body becomes less resistant to coffee and you naturally have more energy.
Energy is just one of the ingredients needed for a happy life. But the base might go even deeper. Ultimately, it’s about finding your passion and your goal in life.
Find your calling
Want to get more out of your life, but do not you know where to start?
The following questions can help you wake up to dormant dreams and to revitalize it.
• What are your hobbies?
• What is the most significant part of your day?
• What are subjects that you could easily write about a thousand words?
• What are you doing dearest?
• What performance would you make extremely proud?
• What parts of your current job do you like?
• What dreams did you have as a child and what dreams are you still talking about?
• If you could only choose one thing you could remember, what would that be?
Conclusion
Work takes up much of your time. Therefore, it is important that you work with enthusiasm.But what if your job does not fully match your wishes? Then rely on your own energy sources and find the things you like about your work.
And remember that work is only one part of your life. You also have a private situation where freedom is just as important. A passionate and vital life can only lead if you are fought.
Resilience in your private life can create you by solving energy or by introspecting and looking for the things you get excited about.
