10 tips to be happy at work!!!

It is not so difficult to experience more joy at work. It’s just a matter of knowing the tricks.

If you have a job that you find boring and meaningless, you will hardly be satisfied with the rest of your life either.

The research project EPICURUS from the University of Aberdeen Business School, shows that job satisfaction actually comes before both family, health, finances and social life as an important factor for life satisfaction.

5 signs that you are working in a bad workplace

Happiness researcher Christian Bjørnskov at Aarhus University also believes that the workplace is one of the most important sources of happiness in everyday life.

– Even though we work hard and may not always do things that are so exciting, the job is still a place where we get recognition, either in the form of a pat on the shoulder or a bonus, he says according to the Knowledge Center for Working Environment.

In order to have a better quality of life, it is therefore important to be happy at work, but the question then becomes whether this is something you can influence yourself.

And that’s it. At least if one is to believe author and career expert Geoffrey James. In an article on the career website Inc.com, he presents a list of several concrete measures one can take to experience more joy in the workplace. Here is an excerpt of some of them:

10 Best Foods to Stay Active in the Office

1. Do not compare yourself with others

Everyone starts in a different place, and is led on their own career path. You have no idea where other people’s journey may lead them, so comparing yourself to them is a complete waste of time.

2. Do not get frustrated with what you can not control

Things like the economy, markets you sell to, and the actions of others are something that is completely out of your control and should therefore not be a source of unnecessary frustration. This can be an emotional parasite that eats away at energy and health. The focus should rather be on the things you can actually control – which are your own thoughts and actions.

3. Do not commit to anything unattainable

It’s great to be enthusiastic and willing to go to great lengths to achieve results, but if you make promises that you cannot keep, you are doomed to experience disappointment and defeat.

4. You have 24 hours a day – like everyone else

You may feel that you always have a bad time, but the simple truth is that you get the same number of hours each morning as everyone else. It is up to you whether you want to use it to want more of it.

5. Do not take yourself so seriously

The ability to laugh at your own mistakes not only makes you happier as a person, it also makes you more insightful and more sympathetic in the eyes of others. If you can not laugh at yourself, others will most likely do it behind your back.

6. Daydream more

The idea that daydreams and work are mutually exclusive belongs in the 20th century. It is when you let your mind wander that you form an insight that will make you both unique, innovative and more competitive.

7. Forget the past

Focusing on the mistakes you have made or the wrongs someone has inflicted on you is like driving a car while looking in the rearview mirror. The only thing you achieve is to keep the course in one direction – until you collide.

8. Do not try to “win” all discussions

Some battles are not worth fighting, and many people are easier to deal with when they think they have won. The important thing is not to “win”, but what you and the others involved intend to do next.

9. Responsibility for one’s own happiness

Some work environments are difficult to thrive in, but if you are always unhappy, it is ultimately your own fault. You owe it to yourself and your colleagues to either find a job that makes you happy or to make the most of the job you have.

10. Smile and laugh more often

Contrary to many people’s beliefs, smiles and laughter are not the result of being happy, they are part of a cycle that both creates and enhances happiness. Find reasons to smile. Never choke a good laugh.
