6 Tips to Be Happier at Work

Unhappiness at work creates a snowball effect. When you're down in the dumps about your responsibilities or your coworkers, you're less focused and productive, which in turn, only makes you more miserable. How can you feel happier at work? Here are 6 tips.

  1. Find something to do that you care about or have passion for. If it’s just a means to an end, then accept it as a means to an end.

  2. Get tomorrow’s schedule organized today. If you start the day shake, rattled, and rolled, the rest of the day is going to be tough.

  3. Make time for friends and hobbies. All work and no play is not a good recipe for feeling good about anything.

  4. Be in the present. If a problem comes up, focus on how it can be solved right now rather than getting frantic and crazy. Be in the moment. Don’t get caught up in the stresses of the past or your fears about the future.

  5. Pat yourself and other people on the head. We all feel better, confident, and self-assured when we do that.

  6. Learn new skills. Challenge yourself to take on new tasks. Invent, improve, and expand. Don’t allow something to become boring.
