When you work for someone or work in a place because you have to and not because you want to, you start hating it. You feel that there is no way out of it and sometimes whatever you try does not makes the feeling any lesser nor does it go away. There is a huge majority out there that does not like their jobs and hate it and if you are one of them, here are some tips that might help you cope in a job that you hate.

1. Think of it as a job

Think of it as a job and nothing else. Do not look at it as something that would define you as a person. It is just something that you would do for a few hours a day and get it over with. Do not attach too much importance to it. When you do not think too much about it, you will realize soon enough that you have absolutely no feeling towards it.

2. Do other things at work

You might hate your job and see no way out, but that does not mean you have to suffer. There are other things that you can do on the job like reading e books while at work or thinking and dreaming up of new ways to get out and new things to do. The more you detach yourself from what you are doing, the less you will hate your job.

3. Think of your job that is not worth the feeling

Hate is a powerful feeling that is to be reserved for something that is truly odious. Think of your job as something that is even not worth wasting your energy and emotions on. Think f it as even unworthy of your feelings and such strong feelings at that.
