We all want to be happy. But we don’t always put everything on our part to be. We tend to think that work, our obligation, is a process that we must necessarily comply with in order to be happy in our private life afterwards. But the truth is that we must learn to be happy at this precise moment, including of course the many hours we spend working.
If we let the weeks go by waiting for Friday to come so we can stop working, we will spend our lives waiting. Happiness should not be the goal to be achieved on vacation, on weekends or in retirement, but rather an emotional state that we enjoy every day of our lives. How to achieve it?
Attitudes to be happy at work
It is possible that the cause of unhappiness in your work is due to a specific reason: bad work environment, low salary, excessive workload, boredom… Whatever the reason for your decline, think that most of your day takes place in your working day, so change your attitude and do your best to enjoy it to the fullest.
Set small challenges that feed your self-confidence. Finish something for a specific date, for example. As you achieve personal goals, you will feel stronger to consider other bigger challenges. The first objective should be your personal satisfaction, but you will see that it will be accompanied by recognition from your peers or superiors.
Socialize with the rest of the people in your work, regardless of the position they have. Be proactive and avoid having nothing to do. Not working, far from what it may seem a priori, is very detrimental to the worker, who little by little ends up falling into a state of inactivity, distrust in his own abilities and decay.
Lastly, learn to unplug. You must manage to be comfortable in your work, but leave work obligations for a certain time or place of work. If you are 24 hours a day thinking about work, you will not enjoy your private life.
