How to love a hated job

Many people treat their work stoically, do not like it, but also do not feel despair at the thought of another day. The bulk of a person's suffering comes from his own thoughts and beliefs. If you just hate your job, quit, but if you can't do it now, instead of suffering, you can try to change your thoughts and your behavior.

Start a gratitude journal

Look at your working day, most likely, there are some positive aspects in it. It can be fun get-togethers with employees at lunchtime, interesting moments of work, the opportunity for covens, or even good coffee. Every day, write in a journal (notepad, file) for which you are grateful to your work, and your life will begin to change.

Feelings of gratitude directly affect your sense of happiness and teaches you to look for positive sides in any situation.

Take a break from work

Many people get used to working without rest or break, even without leaving the building for lunch. Take breaks, walk, breathe fresh air - half an hour “free” will cheer you up and help you stay positive for the rest of the day.

Say what you think

Honest comments (of course, expressed in the correct form) can change your career for the better. How often do you know what is best to do one way or another, but don't say it out loud? Then, of course, you will get moral satisfaction by saying “I knew it” in your mind, but this will not affect your career in any way. Correct comments and suggestions will help you prove yourself, and constructive criticism can be a very useful tool.

Treat employees with delicious treats

If it is your custom to drink tea at the office, you can bring something tasty for everyone. Firstly, it creates a relaxed atmosphere and attracts people to you, and secondly, small good deeds keep you in a good mood.

Annoying employees are a gift

If some employee or the whole team annoys you, do not rush to snap back and show your displeasure. Your coworkers may be aggressive, lazy, or stupid, but each of them can still teach you something.

The lesson from their side may be about professional skills or just the psychology of relationships, but in any case, you can learn something from them. After all, if your rabid employee looks completely useless, thanks to him you will learn patience and empathy.

Set goals that can be met

Often people burden themselves with different tasks and, failing to cope, feel insignificant and worthless. This is fundamentally the wrong approach: set goals for yourself that you can accomplish and mark them on your list.

After reviewing the list of completed tasks, you will have a sense of accomplishment, and will have something to present to your superiors if you have any questions.

Feel free to ask for help

If you feel like you're not doing your job, just ask for help. Just think in advance how many people you need as assistants, to whom you have decided to shift some of your responsibilities and what you yourself will do at this time. That is, when approaching your boss or a specific employee, you must clearly state your request in the form of a business proposal.

Break your stereotypes

Just try to behave differently, it won't get any worse, right?If at conferences you have always been silent, try to actively participate in discussions and ask questions, if you have always criticized someone, try to praise him, if you worked at a crazy pace, try to relax and slow down a little.

Maybe by changing your behavior, you will understand what really pissed you off about your work, and you can change that.

Remember there is always a choice

Think about what still leaves you in your unloved job? Fear of not finding the same lucrative and prestigious place? Maybe a debt to the company, when "everything depends" on you? Either way, remember that you have a choice, and if you do not find a single positive feature in your work, it is time to change it urgently.

Find an outlet

If every day you come home from work like a squeezed lemon and lose all your good mood on it, it may seem that you have no strength left for anything else. The paradox is that if you find something you love, an interesting and exciting hobby after work, your energy will not only not decrease, but vice versa, it will increase. Sports, dancing, art, even just night walks - if work does not bring joy, then something must surely bring it, otherwise this is not life, but real hell.

The next time you come to work, look at it from the outside, try to turn off negative emotions and understand what exactly makes you hate it? Perhaps, in fact, the roots of your hatred are not in your work, but in yourself?
