Shift Focus from Blaming the Job

When you hate your job, it's easy to blame the job itself for all the reasons why you dislike it. However, shifting your focus internally and being curious about what's going on within you can be a more powerful approach. By recognizing that there's nothing factually wrong with your job and directing your attention to your own thoughts and emotions, you can gain more control over your experience and take steps towards creating what you want in your life.
