I don’t.
We’ve all been feeling this way OP
I have been feeling the same way..in a deep rut and feeling super unmotivated. I recently rewatched the movie The Pursuit of Happyness with Will Smith. It reminded me how privileged I am and how many opportunities I’ve been afforded that I can’t take for granted. There are a lot of hard working people out there who would kill to be in our shoes. I try to reframe from “I have to go to this stressful and sometimes frustrating job” to “I GET to go to a job that society deems prestigious and that pays very well.”
Hard work is like investing and where you end up in the future (professionally, financially) is a culmination of your daily habits. If you invest $100 a day, over a long period of time (30 years), you will be way further ahead than if you invest $20 a day because it compounds over time. If you give 100% effort everyday you will be much better off over the long run than if you give 20% effort every day.
Watch that movie and think of what other people would do to have the opportunities we have.
