I haven’t touched it since college. Did just move to a state where it’s legal though...

I’m sure it’ll be commented so I should say I try to take a quick walk around the block once or twice during the day :)

Maybe try to reframe how you look at your job. Which part annoys you? What do you have control over to fix? What’s out of your hands?

If what you don’t like isn’t under your control, then you just have to let it go and focus on what you can control. Hope that helps

That’s an awesome way to look at it. A few things come to mind already that I can easily make little tweaks purely for my own personal satisfaction that won’t affect anyone else. Thanks pal!

I I always find I get unhappy if I have way too much work or too little. So I either slog through the load, or raise my hand for more work—eventually things balance out and I get happier. I also talk to my partner a lot, which lets out some of the negativity, and also consciously tell myself to be positive and nice.

Yoga and I also think about how it’s a privilege to work in a field of ideas with a degree of creativity

An aspiring investment banker (college student) sent me their resume and inquired about an internship. However their previous internship appears to be in “Incestment Banking”.

Not sure if anyone on here (maybe from Alabama) has any idea what this means, but if the work is applicable to investment banking please let me know.
