GRATITUDE 

Say out loud, journal, or read a list of things you are grateful for. Why? Because it’s really hard to start the day off in a bad mood if you take a minute to count your blessings. Sooo take a blessings inventory right when you wake up and be grateful!

MINDSET

Listen or read something positive. Control the first things you consume each day. (Example: affirmations, personal development book or podcast, etc.)

This video shares the two initial questions you should ask yourself when feeling stuck at work (or life).

Questions:

1. What do you currently love about work? What brings you the most energy and excites you?

2. What would you change if you could?

The questions may sound simple, but the reflection takes a little work. With your answers from these initial questions you can start designing and creating work that you love rather than staying at the "good-enough" job that doesn't fulfill you.
