How to be happier at work
- Figure out what truly motivates you, how do you define enjoyment, success, and fulfillment.
- Conduct an energy audit and make changes accordingly.
- Take 10-to-15-minute breaks.
- Keep a 'smile file'. Keep a running list of your accomplishments, compliments, and thank-you's from real people.
- Remind yourself of why you like working there.
- Be disciplined about rest and balance.
- Don't be 'on' 24/7.
- Build your network. Develop meaningful relationships with people you admire and respect.
- Connect your work to your intrinsic values - even if your job does not have a grand purpose, you can live your values.
- Talk to your boss more often.
- Discard the idea of 'right' versus 'wrong'.
