- Focus on the positives: Every job has aspects that are rewarding. It could be a great colleague, a meaningful project, or learning opportunities. Try to focus on these aspects and let them energize you.

- Get involved in company culture: Whether through social events or professional development opportunities, engaging with the company culture can help you feel more connected and appreciated.
- Work-life balance: Finding a balance between your job and personal life can prevent stress from overshadowing your work, giving you more room to enjoy what you do.
- Find ways to make it fun: Try incorporating elements of creativity or humor into your daily routine. Whether it's how you approach a task or the environment you create, adding a little fun can change your perspective.
