Whether it is yoga or watching a funny YouTube video, doing something that will lift your mood right from the start is a good way to chase the job blues away.

#3 Do something you’re good at every day
Aside from doing something you love, it is also important to do something you’re good! That way you don’t feel lost at work or that you’re not achieving anything. Nothing makes you feel better than to perform a task well and achieve a desired outcome.
