Doing something we don’t like can make us feel bad and reduce our quality of life, especially if it is about our work activities. However, there are some tips to be happy at work and increase our productivity even if we don’t like it.
According to Srikumar Rao, author of the book Happiness at work, to be happy at work you don’t need more money or to reduce your activities, you just need to follow these tips and eliminate the belief that everything is against you:
1. Don’t judge. If something bad happens do not give up, on the contrary, learn from mistakes and avoid judgments of the situation.
2. Resist. Gain the ability to quickly recover from adversity. If you are strong and recover from any obstacle you can do great things.
3. Get rid of grudges. Avoid blaming yourself or blaming others. Only then will you be happier.
4. Forget professional jealousy. This feeling only slows down your abilities and goals. Let the positive energy flow for successes to come.
5. Find your passion. Many people view their work as their great passion, however, when this is not the case, it is most useful for us to find another motivation to enjoy what we do.
If you don’t enjoy your work the way you want, visualize how you were 10 years ago and analyze everything you’ve been through to be in the place you are. In this way you will value everything you have.
Also, a positive attitude helps you be a better co-worker and makes the time you have to be in the office more enjoyable.
