Do you know your current job so well that you feel like an institution?  You are the go-to person for all questions, problems, tasks, etc.?  Do you feel like your days run together, as if you are in the movie Groundhog Day? 

This little exercise will help you start to find the joy and change your attitude a bit about the hum-drum days ahead!

I want you to find ways to look at your current career or situation with fresh eyes.  The point of the exercise is to find new possibilities, new information and new insight about what’s meaningful to you and in which direction your dreams lie.

Here are some ideas:

• - Connect with someone you haven’t spoken to in a while and talk to them about your situation and what you’re trying to achieve.
• - Look at your work and your concerns from the point of view of a client, a visitor, an investor, a colleague, your boss, your neighbor or anyone else you can think of.  What might they see or ask that you aren’t?
• - Rearrange your work area, if possible, or take a walk through parts of your organization that you don’t normally go.  Alternately, redo your daily schedule so that you start handling routine tasks in a new order.  What insights can you find by jarring your perspective in this way?

Today, I want you to come up with one way to view your work from a new perspective.  Then spend some time exploring that perspective and see what you find.  You may need to return to this exercise several times to get the full effect.
