Think of a rubber band. If you stretch it, no matter how much or how far you stretch it, it always goes back to its original shape. If you let go quickly, it will snap back into its original shape so fast it could hurt you.
It is the same with you. If you are better working in a team, and you find yourself working alone in a challenging environment full of deadlines, you are going to snap sooner or later. If you are a person who is better suited to challenges that include working creatively, being a leader or working on your own and meeting deadlines and you find yourself working in a team, you are also going to snap eventually. You cannot do for long what goes against your nature.
Unfortunately, most of us get advised by our parents about what career we should choose. Parents mean well, but they are often blinded by their own desires for their children. Or they made a mistake and would like to have chosen something else, but never had the chance; Sort of like living through their children. Or you were presented with a large choice of careers at school and you just chose something just to end the confusion. Or you felt you had to choose but you were not yet ready. Whatever the reason why you are where you are, if you are stressed by the end of the day, and need to take time out often, it is more than likely because you are the wrong personality type for the job. You could be doing something that goes against your natural talents and gifts.
The best thing to do if you are stressed after a day’s work would be to find out who you are and what your natural talents and gifts are. Find out what you are naturally good at, what you enjoy and what motivates you. Find your purpose in life. Find out what job would fit you like a glove.
It has been proven that people who do what they love and what they are good at, don’t feel like they’re working because they are having too much fun. Imagine being so happy at work that stress just isn’t a factor. Imagine being busy with stressful tasks which just doesn’t affect you.
Find out where you should be. Never again work a day in your life!
