Career dissatisfaction leads to health problems

When you see the way that the media frames the condition of the American society, and you have your eyes truly wide open, it can render you speechless because they are proceeding from a standpoint of utter absurdity on just about every level. The “discourse” on any given topic is fatally flawed from the beginning because the real facts aren’t being laid out on the table for discussion.

This is a far reaching topic, and we will delve into it piece by piece here in the magazine as time goes on, but today we would like to touch on the subject of career dissatisfaction and ill health. The media, government, and medical communities seem to proceed from the standpoint that the human body is a machine, and when that machine is “healthy,” it is happy. Instances of unhappiness are considered to be ailments in and of themselves, and they are treated with drugs. There are drugs that are prescribed to people who experience depression, stress, anxiety and other forms of unhappiness. But nobody ever addresses the roots causes of these feelings.

When you have to go to a job every day that you don’t like, for any number of reasons, it is going to have a negative impact on your health in one way or another. The reasons why a person may not like their job are myriad, but the worst thing about many jobs, and it is epidemic in proportions, is when you are forced to do things is a manner that doesn’t make sense once you have had the time to understand the tasks at hand. Human beings have innate personal intelligence, and having to, figuratively speaking, drink coffee with a fork at work while your mind is twisted like a pretzel is soul sucking at a base level. Even as you try to suppress the dis-ease that you feel, it is there, and it causes things like depression, anxiety, anger, and addictions.

We’re told that being productive is the objective at work, but many times, the way we are forced to do things prevents productivity, and that is hard to wrap your head around. Individuals are instinctively think for themselves, and when they are forced to do things that make no sense, it takes a toll on them because they are attempting to will themselves to act in a manner that is at odds with their genetic instructions. This causes ill health.

So if you notice that your job is making you sick…it may be time to measure your priorities and seek a more healthy situation, as daunting as that may sound at first.
