{{B}} Regain your motivation{{/B}}
Getting out of bed to go to work is one of life's lesser pleasures. {{U}}(31) {{/U}} great the job is, most of us struggle on Monday morning. But when that feeling stretches through the entire week, something deeper may {{U}}(32) {{/U}} wrong. Sometimes it's tempting to dismiss feelings of boredom or frustration {{U}}(33) {{/U}} part of working life. But if you're constantly feeling uninterested, you need to ask yourself some questions.
Demotivation isn't just caused by major setbacks, like being passed {{U}}(34) {{/U}} for promotion, or refused a salary increase, but can be a product of far more subtle aspects. Try to define the most important aspects of your job for you personally - and {{U}}(35) {{/U}} action if you feel things aren't right. Talk to agencies or headhunters about your skills and find out {{U}}(36) {{/U}} you're worth on the open market.
It can be all {{U}}(37) {{/U}} easy to blame your job when you feel demotivated - when it can be just as easily down to you, as Sally Martin, a fundraising manager for a charity, discovered. 'I had started to resent my job, the fact that I had no perks, no chances to travel - {{U}}(38) {{/U}} from visiting other dingy offices for meetings. But then some friends were talking about how superficial they felt their jobs were, and I suddenly realised I couldn't say that about my job. In fact, I really felt {{U}}(39) {{/U}} was a point to it. I remembered that's why I'd taken it in the {{U}}(40) {{/U}} place' So remember; always give your old job a chance before starting to search for a new one.
