How I Deal When Work Feels Like a Drag

Last week, I caught myself zoning out in a meeting, wondering if I’d ever feel excited about work again. That was my wake-up call—I needed to shake things up. Here’s what’s actually helped me: • I jot down things that used to make me smile—like binge-watching old movies or doodling. Then I pick one and just go for it, no pressure to be perfect. • I reach out to someone who gets my weird interests. Even a quick chat about dinosaurs or a walk outside can lift my mood. • I sign up for something totally random, like a pottery class or volunteering. It feels awkward at first, but it’s a total reset for my brain. • If things get too heavy, I talk it out—sometimes with a friend, sometimes with a pro. It’s honestly a relief. What’s your trick for snapping out of a funk? #MentalHealth #BeatTheBlahs #TrySomethingNew #Health
