Try to switch your negative thoughts into positive ones using effective motivational techniques like reading motivational books, quotes or listening to uplifting podcasts on a daily basis. These have proven to work wonders for thousands of people so why not give them a try?

This one is straightforward. All this requires is for you to go extra with all your usual office needs. This can include going over the top with your coffee intake, eating a load of fruit and making the most out of breakout spaces during the course of the day.
You can even go as far as giving your office desk and office storage area a good scrub as this has proven to be greatly therapeutic especially for those who are obsessed with cleaning.
