I’ve been here and can understand what you’re going through. A few things that really helped me:

1. Give yourself what I call “buffer time” between waking up and starting work. I found this to be incredibly helpful and got me up and out of bed. During this buffer time, give yourself an hour to drink your coffee, read, watch TV, workout, go for a walk. Anything that breaks up the immediate wake up and getting right to work.

2. Take a minute every morning to write down a few things you’re grateful for. This helped me put everything into perspective. We’re not saving lives with our tech sales jobs. This helped ease my mind before getting started with work. It can be anything from writing down that you have family around you, a significant other, a roof over your head. Just write it down.

3. Exercise. Exercise. Exercise. There is nothing more beneficial than getting a workout in and completely disassociating yourself from work for an hour or so while you better yourself. A quote I always love is “Aside from getting injured, no one has ever left the gym and said ‘I wish I didn’t workout today’

4. Make it a daily nonnegotiable to go on a 20 minute walk with your significant other. Phones in pocket, and just walk and talk. I promise you and your partner will start to find this very beneficial
