1/ Do you have a lot of emotional ups and downs around your work life?
2/ Do you have uncertainty about your future security?
3/ Do you use the words hope and pray a lot at work?
4/ Do you go home more tired at the end of the day than at the start?
5/ Are you thankful for what your job provides?
6/ Is it easy for you to take a few minutes and calm yourself each hour or so?
7/ Do you see goodness coming from what you do?
8/ Are your relationships at work and with clients harmonious or fake?
9/ Are you always looking forward to doing something else even when you are at work.
10/ Are you drinking more than 5 cups of coffee or 5 glasses of wine, beer or spirits a day?
So, lets review each one
1/ A yes here means you are killing yourself at work. It's personal sabotage and it'd be wise to get your papers, finances and personal relationships in order. This consciousness leads to an early death.
2/ Uncertainty about your future means that the financial success of the business controls your personal financial security. If so, you're operating at the lower end of human consciousness and this is going to lead to desperation in either physical or financial terms. It is far wiser not to hinge your life on the day to day, month to month success of your work life.
3/ These words have their place. But, when it comes to hanging the success of a business on hope or pray for it, you're placing the responsibility for destiny in the wrong hands. You were given the power and skill for success at birth. Try lowering the risk profile of your work / business circumstance.
4/ A yes here is a warning. No partner deserves to be treated as the home care service. Work these days is 90% mental and good mental practices will lead to good use of energy. High tension, emotion and boredom lead to exhaustion so, this tiredness is a warning that you are not managing you mind or your metabolism well. Suggest you change your exercise program, diet and though process at work.
5/ Thankfulness is a choice. Even the worst situation has a perfect balance of positive and negative so, there's always something, 50% of things, to be thankful for. Focusing on the bad news attracts more of it.
6/ One important skill for living and working with consciousness is the ability to shut down. These days TV and alcohol form the process but they are not totally effective. 10 minutes in a deeper state of calm and non activity has the equivalent benefit of 5 -6 hours of TV. So, you can certainly see the benefit of stillness sessions at work. That's conscious.....
7/ I state repeatedly and primarily from experience that personal happiness comes primarily from good work. Now, we can't obliterate the challenges from work but, if we believe the work we do is worth doing, in other words, is a worthy use of our time, we'll breeze through the challenges like a bird. But, if we think our work is fruitless, has no real meaning or even has negative social consequence, nothing we do outside that work can counterbalance the affect of it. Bad work creates a unconscious mind.
8/ For me, this is the most interesting. Did you know that the most stressful jobs on earth are those that require people to smile at people who are totally rude. That means they have to fake relationships. Those professions include flight attendants, customer service desks, and nurses. Harmonious does not meet nice. It means - like a musical note, a fluctuation between high and low. The more infatuated the dynamic (gee you're amazing) the more resentful (gee you're awful). Infatuation and resentment are the unconscious ends of real harmony.
9/ Creating a job that you don't want to run away from is important. If the work is so boring and unchallenged then, people start living in the future. That's where accidents originate. There are many people who have mastered the art of being in the future and as a result forgot to pay their bills in the present and went bust. Learning to be here now is a core consciousness skill.
10/ There are four substitutes for conscious living. I mean conscious living leads to happiness and when people are unhappy they seek one or all of four substitutes for it. Those four are:
a/ Food and Substance (includes coffee, alcohol, drugs)
b/ Greed. The competitive and sometimes mindless pursuit of success and wealth for its own sake. This can also include over consumption of anything.
c/ Sex. The unhappy and bored individual will seek the source of happiness in sex.
d/ Spirituality. A happy person doesn't need it.
To get a grip on conscious versus unconscious behavior at work, just look at your life expectancy. Ask an honest doctor whether the way you are living and working is lengthening or shortening your life. Conscious people live longer.
You might also ask whether you are taking unnecessary risks and whether these are stimulated by inspiration or desperation.
Consciousness at work can really make a big difference to your success, your relationship and the length and joy or your life.
With Spirit
