Look for satisfaction and meaning in your work

Look for satisfaction and meaning in your work

• Even in some mundane jobs, you can often focus on how your contributions help others, for example, or provide a much-needed product or service. Focus on aspects of the job that you do enjoy, even if it’s just chatting with your coworkers at lunch. Changing your attitude towards your job can also help you regain a sense of purpose and control.
• Be willing to compromise. Sometimes, if you and a co-worker or boss can both adjust your expectations a little, you’ll be able to find a happy middle ground that reduces the stress levels for everyone.
• Look for progress throughout your work to keep you motivated. This will allow you to see any progress you are making and shows the goals that you have or will soon achieve.
