And you know that it is not a physical problem, because your health is very good. There are other things that are preventing you from moving towards that goal you want to achieve. We can call them saboteurs and almost always, they hide in our own mind.
Surely you have heard of the famous expression “the mind is treacherous”. And it is! For this reason, from Atlas Psicólogos we are going to show you what are the *4 failures that hinder your professional growth and what you can do to neutralize them.
4 failures that hinder your professional growth
1. The demotivation
This feeling of apathy towards our surroundings and the reluctance to do something is often associated with hopelessness. Some of the most common cases of demotivation in personal growth occur when the worker gets bored with the repetitive tasks that he must do daily, when he feels that he is not valued for his efforts, or when he thinks that he no longer has a chance to move up in his plan. of career.
It seems that we depend on external factors or stimuli to be able to feel motivated, and it is so, but there is a great ability in us that, the lower we develop it, the more forceful it will be to defeat demotivation. That skill is self-motivation.
Self -motivation is maintaining a positive attitude towards what surrounds us. It is to be able to influence our state of mind to find interesting aspects in what seems to not have them. It is an internal ability to find stimuli that drive us towards a specific goal.
2. Lack of self-confidence
The complexes and fears that we experience in certain situations are the product of many factors throughout our lives. The lack of self-confidence makes us our main enemy when it comes to making decisions and acting for the benefit of a better future.
One of the most effective exercises to gain self-confidence is to do a SWOT analysis (weaknesses, threats, strengths and opportunities). If you know each of these aspects about yourself, you can use your strengths to take advantage of opportunities, work on your weaknesses, and plan how to neutralize threats.
But the most important thing is that you believe in yourself. While it is true that you should be honest with yourself when you recognize your limitations, it is no less true that you should be objective and generous when you identify your qualities and aptitudes. After all, we project to others what we think we are.
3. Focus on the problems
This is an enemy to fear, because it does not usually walk alone. When he appears, other saboteurs come after him, such as lack of motivation and lack of security. Toxic people tend to surround themselves with these enemies.
When a problem appears, it is normal for us to feel frustrated and, sometimes, helpless. But whatever its magnitude, the first thing you must understand is that it is a challenge that you must overcome. It is a circumstance in which we find ourselves momentarily and which must be overcome.
Once you take the right attitude, you will have the ability to identify the resources you have to deal with the problem. Our own skills and knowledge, work or study tools, resources, materials, etc. This way you can focus on possible solutions.
4. The comfort zone
The comfort zone is that physical or mental space in which we feel safe, in which we do not run any risk, face new challenges and maintain a continuous routine. But if all of that sounds so good, how can it be a saboteur?
The comfort zone is really a monster that hides behind a state of apparent comfort, which turns us into automatons and impedes our personal and professional growth. Staying in the comfort zone for too long can cause demotivation.
Leaving the comfort zone means accepting new challenges, launching to conquer dreams and goals. Undertaking this journey enhances creativity, strengthens self-confidence, creates new personal relationships, increases experience and knowledge. All this is part of personal and professional growth. But how can you get out of the comfort zone?
There are two keywords to get out of the comfort zone: change and openness. This means that you must be open to changes: change your study or work habits, propose new techniques, interact with new people, take new routes to get to the office, learn another language, study other disciplines. In short, there are a thousand possibilities to expand your comfort zone.
We hope that with these tips you can grow professionally. *Your development in the world of work depends on your will and your attitude.
