In the mornings it is hard to get out of bed, and the performance of duties in the office seems impossible. Probably everyone is faced with such periods of emotional decline. But there are easy ways to regain your former enthusiasm.

In addition, you will be more organized, you will feel more confident and be inspired by the fact that you have made good progress.
Take time to read
No matter how stressful your daily schedule is, make it a habit to read something for at least 20 minutes every day. It is useful to read people's success stories, to receive additional knowledge about your profession that you can apply in your assignment, about everything that interests you.
Reading improves your knowledge and benefits you in the long run, helps you mentally distract from your problems and take a broader look at the situation.

In working life, balance is important
If you devote all time only to work, life may seem boring. Every day you need to distance yourself from work mentally and physically, so that the next day you can return to your office with renewed vigor.
Therefore, try to plan your work in such a way that you can leave your office daily on time and try not to respond to texts and letters when you get home, unless you need to make urgent decisions.
Celebrate small victories
Fatigue and monotony of everyday life deprive us of the ability, in the literal sense, to experience joy. If you see that there is a reason for her, but you don’t feel anything, you need to urgently take action and restore lost emotions. Evaluate your successes, tell yourself that you are happy, laugh, reward yourself.
Celebrate your little achievements. Do not wait for your superiors to rate you to be proud of what you have done. Share your success with those who support you and believe in you, give you useful tips.
Praise yourself and raise your self-esteem, it is possible that you feel gnawed by a feeling of insecurity in your abilities.
Count your blessings
Always remember that each person’s career is full of ups and downs, and you should be optimistic, patient and consistent, gratefully accepting good and bad days. It is useful to be ambitious and set new goals for achievement. But for real job satisfaction, you need to develop a habit of gratitude.
Count your blessings to see the bright side of everything that happens to you. How many good and important things have happened to you, although it seems to you that you have not seen anything but work. Thank, and the Universe will bring you pleasant surprises.
Take a break!
Whether you feel mentally exhausted and burned out or not, it is important to take breaks in work every few months. This respite helps to disconnect from professional tasks for a while and helps you get back to work with new ideas.
You need to set aside time to spend time in nature, whether it is the Maldives or a summer house, to feel carefree, take time for your hobbies, examine your health, check your eyesight and undergo a massage course. Do what you put off for many years.
Carry out a situation analysis
Take a piece of paper and in a relaxed atmosphere analyze if there is a specific reason that makes you feel miserable at work? Write down everything that is unpleasant for you in the workflow that can be changed. And if you see solid minuses, then maybe it’s better not to go to this office?
Check your goals. If you set yourself too many goals, and part of the tasks have to be constantly postponed, just remove them from the agenda until better times. Tasks are continuously processed by our brain and take energy resources. And energy must be protected.
Identify the reasons why you do not want to go to the office, plan how you will solve them
Maybe your work has become ordinary and does not provide an opportunity for training?
Perhaps this is not work, and office politics spoils your mood every day. Or maybe you need to learn additional skills, improve your knowledge and look for a new job? Think about what makes you feel oppressed, and decide how to deal with it for each item.
