So, introducing the antithesis to quiet quitting: quiet thriving.
It’s the idea of staying in a job youre fundamentally unhappy in.
We notice the clock ticking as our careers seem to drift by us.

We are nagged by that feeling that theres got to be more to life than this.
No job alone will give us that deep down satisfaction that we all desire.
We want to make a difference.
We need to be appreciated.
Heres how you’re able to try quiet thriving for yourself….
Take back control.
Really get clear on the different aspects of your role and what they mean to you.
Which parts do I have some influence over?
And which parts are completely out of my control?
Once youve worked on these, go onto the things that you have influence over and do the same.
Then consciously agree to let go of the things you have no control over.
But know that even with these, you always have control over how you choose to react to them.
And it is a choice.
Learn to soothe your nervous system.
Are you breathing deeply, are your shoulders and jaw relaxed, are you feeling calm?
Or are you taking short breaths in the top of your chest, feeling like youre about to explode?
Become aware of whats happening internally.
Career experts give us the low-down.
Connect with others.
People who feel good to be around.
This can give us more energy and motivation in our workday.
So connecting with your colleagues has greater benefits than just feeling good.
Have a break.
We were not built to concentrate for 12 hours straight a day, she says.
So take a break.
This will make you so much more productive and helps you to get more done in your day.
The breaks allow your brain to rest and your concentration to reset.
Most offices have eight-hour workdays, but it’s impossible to be truly busy the whole time, right?
Prioritize your health and sleep.
So ensure youre starting your working day from the best place possible.
All the stuff that is common sense, but often not common practice.
So take stock of where your health is right now.
Because that has a direct impact on your brain health.
Be proactive.
And businesses are becoming more open to this way of thinking, Ellera says.
