Short Cuts:BETTER YET
Life Outside the Office
When someone asks “how’s life?” is
your first thought of work? If so, get help. Columbus, Ohio,
psychologist Steve Wilson tells how to keep your career from
governing your happiness.
Take stock of what makes you happy. “If all of
your sense of self-satisfaction comes from your career, you are in
jeopardy.”
Get a family life “If you don’t have a family
nearby, make one.” Friends and people with common interests can
serve as surrogates.
Make your career goals known. “Don’t wait for
someone to notice what a valued employee you are. Ask how you can
make your goals a reality.”
Create balance. “If work is the only thing that
gets you out of bed, you are setting yourself up for an emotional
disaster,” says Wilson. Many sources of satisfaction will keep you
from hitting bottom in the event of an unexpected setback.
