I Keep a Gratitude Journal

I do not like going to work but since few days ago, I have tried to tell myself that every day was a new day to make money and do better, giving myself some motivation to get up and work.

Sometimes it comes down to just telling yourself firmly that you need to work to pay your bills, your rent or mortgage, groceries, gas, etc. And when you are motivated to survive, that helps. Having a steady job is a blessing. If you are unhappy in yours, find another. But don't quit that one until you do.

@PoetryNEmotion spot on there. Work can sometimes not be pleasant but it's better than the alternative.

@jetpack I know, right? There were times in my life when in my cold marriage and rather depressed when I literally forced myself to drag into work. The Man of Dark Shadows then reminded me on occasion that having an unsatisfying job was much preferable to having no job and no income. I miss him.
