Trying to become highly motivated for your job is probably one of the toughest challenges one faces in the workplace. Especially when you are tasked with some of the most mundane work. So, what do you do when you feel like you have lost interest? Is there a way for you to become highly motivated for your job?

There is a personal 'formula' I use. I call it the 'CARES'. One who CARES enough becomes highly motivated for one鈥檚 job. CARES stands for Conviction, Attitude, Respect, Empathy and Sincerity.

Steps

1. Conviction. Conviction is a firm belief of what you want to do. A firm belief gives you the courage to move towards your goals. Ask yourself what are your career goals? How does these career goals match with your company鈥檚 goals? Believe in the company鈥檚 goals if you are to become highly motivated for your job. Align these goals to your career goals and you begin to see more meaning in what you do.
2. Attitude. Attitude is a your way of thinking and behaving towards your life. In whatever tasks assigned to you, approach it with a positive attitude. A positive attitude means doing each job with pride, passion and belief. Give the job assigned to you; your best shot no matter how menial. When you approach work with a positive attitude you begin to become highly motivated for your job. It will contribute towards your career success goals.
3. Respect. Respect is a feeling of admiration for people鈥檚 good qualities or achievements. Far too often newbies at work do not give enough respect to their supervisors and colleagues. This is especially when they do not thoroughly understand each other鈥檚 role. To become highly motivated for your job, start with self-respect. Respecting yourself. If you want others to respect you, you must start respecting yourself. Understand your own roles in the organization. Each person鈥檚 roles contribute to the greater objective of the company. If you look down upon your own job, then you wouldn鈥檛 appreciate what you are doing. People will start to lose respect for you when you do not even respect yourself. Then learn to respect others. Respect others in your organization. Each and everyone in the organization deserve your respect. From the tea lady to the janitor, they each have their role to play and each contributes to the bigger objectives organization. Learn to see the good qualities in others that deserve your respect.
4. Empathy. Empathy is the ability to imagine and share another person鈥檚 feelings and experience. In our work, we are bound to meet with colleagues who are uncooperative or clients who are unreasonable. In such cases, you would feel demotivated. To overcome this, learn to empathize with that person. Understand why such requests are being made.
5. Sincerity. Sincerity is saying and doing only things that one really means or believes. When we do the work that has been given to us, do it sincerely and joyfully. When someone has helped us in the course of our work or have made a certain task more manageable thank them sincerely. That way you begin to see that the job isn鈥檛 that insurmountable. You begin to become highly motivated for your job.

Warnings

• The important thing about being highly motivated for your job is knowing what you want. If you do not know what you want with your career in the long term, then you cannot see the relation between what you do now and the future.
