Are you struggling to find some energy and lack motivation to do absolutely anything? Are you feeling like your batteries are in need of a bit of a recharge?

Well if you’re reading this article right now, then I’m going to assume your answer is ‘yes’.

Because it’s certainly hard to feel energized and motivated when you work shift work.

And let’s face it. Working shift work definitely involves working peculiar hours.

Not to mention that our lives today have become extremely busy. We often don’t take the time to stop and rest which is paramount for good health and well-being.

So just like everyone else, shift workers need to allocate time to relax because if you don’t, then your mood, energy levels, and your ability to think diminshes severely.

In fact adrenal fatigue is becoming a common illness among shift workers around the world because we just push our bodies to keep going and going.

So how can you recharge you shift work batteries?

By setting aside some time when you are in complete and absolute solitude. That is – totally alone and uninterrupted from anyone and anything.

Sound impossible? Well how bad to you want to feel well? How bad do you want to regain some of that lost energy and get your mojo back?

If you’re thinking just a little bit then you need to think again.

Because you need to make your health your Number One Priority. Actually I’m going to rephrase that and say that you must make it your Number One Priority.

The sad reality today is that most of us are happy to spend money buying the latest gadgets or purchase new clothes, regularly service our cars or renovate and beautify our houses – yet are reluctant to spend money (or allocate time) on improving our health.

Taking some ‘time out’ to improve your health can be as simple as turning off the lights in your bedroom and closing the blinds so that you are in complete darkness – and it doesn’t cost you a thing!

Even if it’s just for 10 minutes because eliminating noise and distractions will go along way in helping you to clear your mind and regain some of that long lost energy.

So go ahead and give it ago. Everyone can find 10 minutes in their day to treat their body to a bit of solitude. You just have to be willing to put your health first – which is exactly how it should be.

Finding a job which is enjoyable, challenging and invigorating can certainly be a hard thing to do. Actually it can be very hard thing to do.

So if you struggling to find some kind of shift work job satisfaction, have you ever asked yourself “… what’s my tipping point?”

That is, is there something or someone that will “tip you over the edge” and encourage you to finally hand in that resignation?

Because despite what you may think – you really should have a tipping point.

Why? Well we all know people who whinge and complain whenever they are at work. And the funny thing is, most never do anything about it! Instead without any care or consideration for their fellow workers, they sap the energy from those around them with their constant negativity.

And as negativity breeds more negativity – what is the sense of doing it?

I’m sure you would agree that working shift work is tough. Really tough. So if you’re not happy in your shift working job then do something about it.

Ask yourself. Am I really happy at work? If not what will it take to finally give me the courage to quit and find something else to do? Here are some ideas to ponder.

* Will it be an altercation with a customer or a colleague?
* Will it be because you’re sick and tired of getting up in the middle of the night to go into work?
* Will it be a sudden decline in your health?
* Will it be because you desperately want to follow your passion and do something that you enjoy? Something that really makes your heart sing?

Whatever it is, write it down. Keep it in your pocket and look at it every day, because whatever you focus on will eventually become a reality.

“Whatever you believe with feeling, becomes your reality.” – Brian Tracey.

So don’t reside yourself to a life of total shift work dissatisfaction. It really doesn’t have to be that way.

Remember you only get one life, and once chance to do something with it so you may as well go out and do it.
