You spend way more time at work than you think. A study published by Expocart shows that the average person spends more than 13 years at the workplace (without lunch breaks). It is pretty frustrating, however, you have the power to change the whole situation and enjoy what you are doing. That’s how you can do it:

First of all, you need to choose to be happy at work. People who complain about waking up early or seeing the same ‘ugly faces’ every day are not happy. Don’t blame the environment for your unhappiness since you are the one who decides how to feel and react.

Secondly, avoid negativity and ignore people who like gossiping, complaining and discussing personal problems. Your goal is to enjoy yourself during your working hours, not to fill your mind with garbage.

Another step is to make a list of things you want to change at your workplace. You can keep complaining that there are no paper towels in the kitchen or you can organize people to buy some. It is easy to gossip about your colleagues, but you can try to understand them and even make friends with them.

If you don’t like your current job, set your personal goals. It will help you to keep yourself busy and increase your satisfaction.

Also, take care of yourself. Healthy eating and sleeping long enough will boost your energy and productivity. Check out this infographic for more.
