Business decisions are what they are. As far as a positive attitude, I try to think about all the good things and then buy myself a $5 latte :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-get-over-work-disappointments#post-2100991 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 15:23:31 +0000 mrscobee 2100991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I agree, and sometimes it helps me put things into perspective. Like I need a reminder that the grass is not always greener. Definitely a temporary ego boost, especially if it is not coming from work at the moment, and even if I am not super serious about leaving. Makes me more confident to know there are other jobs out there too, as I feel like I can get stuck thinking my job is the end all be all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-get-over-work-disappointments#post-2100987 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 15:21:44 +0000 mediagirl 2100987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrscobee: job hunting and getting called for an interview is always an ego boost, even if you don't want the job or don't get selected for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-get-over-work-disappointments#post-2100985 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 15:19:57 +0000 mrscobee 2100985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm... That's hard. Depends on the type of disappointment I guess. If it is serious enough, I have been known to cruise the marketplace. Thus far, this has helped me get through rough seasons at work, and eventually I have always concluded that I like where I am at and am thankful for my job, and that some of my disappointments are more short-term. Don't know that I recommend this or that this is completely healthy, but has been how I have dealt with things thus far! </p> <p>ETA: That doesn't really address the positive attitude part. I know also when I am disappointed at work. I try to generate all my motivation from within, work on special projects that excite me and I will succeed at, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-get-over-work-disappointments#post-2100980 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 15:16:53 +0000 mediagirl 2100980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And keep a positive attitude? </p>
