A man in the office[photo/i.onthe.io]Have you ever fallen out of love with your job? Some days seem to be getting longer while in others, you just wake up not excited about what you get to do.
Strengthen your work friendships
Try and build better working relationships with your coworkers. After all, it’s the people at work who contribute the most to workplace satisfaction.
Focus on passion projects
Set aside those annoying tasks for a bit and focus on the projects at work that you’re passionate about. Additionally, it may be helpful for you to start a side project at home, so you’re channeling skills that you don’t get to use at work into something fun and productive.
Take breaks
You should be taking a 20-minute break every hour, depending on what style works best with your schedule. You should also make sure you’re eating your meals away from your desk and spend at least one of your daily breaks taking a walk, which helps you get focused.
Change your attitude
Sometimes your attitude can channel your mood in the office towards an awkward direction. Complaining can become second nature, and you can lose sight of why you fell in love from the beginning.
Seek a confidant
In some cases when you feel that work has become unbearable, find a strong confidant who you can talk to. Of course, it has to be someone you are close to and it’s someone you can trust.
Focus on what you give
One of the biggest mental roadblocks a lot of people have when they hate their job, is the belief that they are owed a great job or a great career. They look at everything work gives them.
Control what you can
We let the day-to-day frustrations cloud the bigger purpose of why we took the job to begin with. Look at the big picture of what your company is doing and the part you play.
