Temper the Warming Effects

調整“暫時情緒”

If you saw more of yourself in the 'Temporary Heat Wave' scenarios, then you might need a new focus and new challenges to recharge your professional energy. "You don't have to leave your employer to energize yourself," Lewis advises. Lewis offers these suggestions for putting the spark back in your career:

如果你的情況更符合“暫時情緒”描述，那么你需要的也許是關注新的事情、新的挑戰來讓你重新精神抖擻。Lewis 的建議：“你不一定要辭職來讓自己重新精神抖擻”。Lewis給出了下面的建議，幫你重燃對工作的熱情。

 "Look for a new position within your organization," she says. Network internally -- try to catch key people in the break room to get the scoop on a position or new project team being assembled.

“在公司內尋找新的職位”。在單位內建立人際關系——在休息室和重要人士搭腔，了解新職位或新項目組的信息。

 Examine your current position to identify a new responsibility or element you could include that would refresh your focus.

審視現在的職位，找出一個可以讓你關注新事情的新職責或元素。

Assess what aspects of the job you really like and do well and then concentrate on expanding those activities.

評估一下自己喜歡工作中的哪些方面并且做得好，然后專注于擴大這類活動。

 Make sure you get meaningful feedback from your supervisor. Without clear feedback, Lewis warns, you are apt to burn out faster because you will not have clear goals or accurate measurement.

一定要從上司那里獲得有意義的反饋。Lewis警告說，如果員工沒有獲得明晰的反饋，就容易更快的精力枯竭，因為沒有清晰的目標或者準確的衡量方式。

 Read relevant trade publications to stay up on the latest issues and trends. Find ways to incorporate these into your job.

閱讀有關的行業出版物來了解最新動態、趨勢。想辦法將這些整合到你的工作中去。

 Delegate or eliminate non-essential tasks. Sometimes we get mired down with minutia and lose sight of what we really need to be doing.

將不必要的任務給別人去做，或是省略掉。有時候瑣事會讓我們陷入困境、忘了真正需要去做的事。

Investigate opportunities to transfer to a new city. Working in completely new surroundings with different peers could get your professional juices flowing again.

調查調到另一座城市工作的機會。 在全新的環境和全新的同事一起工作能讓你活力煥發。
