I believe it is self satisfaction. We can't get100% satisfactory work place. However, our self satisfaction and self motivation make work place good. Even you know things are not good at work place and you will not be rewarded or appreciated for the good tasks, your self satisfaction takes over and makes you really happy for the good things you do at work.

1st of all you have to solve your problems in your work place because working with this stress will make things worse! Try to prove your ability to work under pressure, don't let any problem effect your productivity! Take a leave for a week go visit new places with friends! If u can't take a leave try to go to a spa at the weekend to relax :) go and have a new haircut! You will feel fresh :)

When things get tough, I think about what my long-term goals are and ask if my job is helping me move towards that or not. Bad days, weeks, or even months are worth it if your still making long-term progress towards where you want to be. If it's not getting you towards your goals or getting you further from you goals then it's time to move on.

Happiness isn't availble at shops to sell. Self satisfaction can only be acheived if we acutally do things for others & not expect any returns from them (out of the workplace environment)

We need to look out for it & stirve to be happy & keep good realtionships with one & all.

We human beings are social animals. We are in constant need of one another in either ways. We cannot for long be isolated from the lot. Each Human being is made unique & have their their own character set. If we understand that we would know that no one is wrong. Its just how they perceive a situation from their stance using their capabilities.

There are constant presurres from our family & workplace & even high standard expectations. We need to understand want leads for them to think in this manner & always try to reason out & put your best. To have empathy with others will actually make us understand what it is that makes them to do action out a certain behavior.

Last & not the least we need to understand that what ever happens, happens for the best

When the world trade center was blown off many of the office staff weren't able to reach on time to be a part of the thousands who lost their lives. These individuals must be cursing their car or getting angry on their children (which were casing the delays). But later on they were to realise that God hadn't chosen them to leave this world yet.

We always need to be our own critic to actually see our own flaws. Make each day better than the previous one.

The happiness lies not only in the financial incentives we are blessed with but also in helping others.

Make a point everyday to do a task that would benefit someone outside your circle

Water the plants

Scatter food for the birds

Feed your neighbourhood stray cat

Give charity to the needy (even if a small amount)

Regularly donate your clothes & toys to the needy

Install a water cooler were needed

Distribute plants / sapling to children ( see that they do take care of them)

Adopt an orphaned child ( take care of his / her education, everyday expenses etc..)

Do clean your neibourhood of garbage ( you could actually plan out a schedule with the neighbours)

Try to conserve water anywhere appropriate

Switchoff lights when not in use

Pick up a quote & try to actually use it in your daily life

 

The things mentioned are very small attempts to make life easy for us & others

No One can make you happy. You alone are responsible for your happiness. If you decide to be happy, you can be happy or else : (

To me it is very simple. If my hard work, skills, and experience etc are endorsed and praised in terms of promotion, cash reward, or increase in my salary, it will definitely make me happy.

Having a strong internal reference system for your-self is the key to happiness in all situations including work. Your happiness should rest in the fact that you have given your best and your100% to your tasks; this is called self-esteem.

 

Use the information/feedback that you are getting from around you to enhance yourself to do better than what you did last time. Most of us use feedback to please the other person the next time we do the task. If that person is not pleased we feel bad. That means you have put the source of your happiness in that person's hands.

 

If your happiness lies within your internal reference point knowing that you have done better than your last time and that you have given your best to the situation you will surely find a way to be very happy at work invariable of the circumstances. Don’t let your happiness rest in some other person's hands. It is after-all your life and work is also part of that life.
