Family dynamics aside, there is no distribution policy where these conscious or unconscious forces are as prevalent as in your place of employment. As you progress in your career within a certain organization, those feelings, at times, may departure tofade until something finally brings them back in full force.As in many relationships, the feeling of being taken for granted can easily creep up on you at work. Perhaps your career path at your organization hasnt gone quite as youd hoped. You know youre valued, but something is missing.Again, as in all relationships, you need to ask yourself what youre doing to contribute to the issue.One of my favorite saying is, Love is not a feeling its a behavior.This sayinghas served me and perhaps countless other people well at those unavoidable times in a relationship when you just dont feel in love. And then one day you wake up and its back. The mundane and perfunctory have taken their rightful place away from your consciousness while the feelings of significance and belonging have come to the forefront of your being once mora.A wandering eye, professionally speaking, may actually lead you torealize that the grass isnt always greener in someone elses lawn.

What New Things Are You Excited to Learn or Do?Find a way to incorporate them into your role.

Recognize That Nothing Is PermanentExperiences are fluid, just like emotions. Focus on something outside of work that motivates you. It could be an exercise plan, learning to cook, or even starting your own small business. See what you can gai n from your current situation that allows you to advance in those other areas. Do you have a flexible schedule? Are you so efficient with your work that you have a bit of extra time in your day?
