[vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner el_class=”container”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Ever feel like some days you just don\u2019t wanna get out of bed? Maybe sometimes you think you would have been better off sitting on your ass at a desk drinking coffee and watching funny YouTube vids. Even though some days are harder than others, you know deep down you wouldn\u2019t trade being a tradie for the world. Here\u2019s how to remember the good stuff when sh*t gets tough.<\/span><\/p>\n

Challenge yourself<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sometimes it\u2019s a challenge in itself to get up stupidly early every frigging morning, but we mean that you should find something new and exciting to challenge yourself with to keep you firing on all cylinders. It could be stepping up and asking your boss for more responsibility, or it could even be you throwing in the towel and starting your own business – who\u2019s the big boss now?!<\/span><\/p>\n

Pump up the fitness<\/strong><\/p>\n

We all know it feels pretty damn good to sweat it all out when you\u2019re feeling sh*t so maybe you just need a bit more of that. If you\u2019re feeling tired way more than you like, hit the gym more often or go and play some footy with your mates – what better way to get over a slump than to spear tackle your mates right? (If anyone gets hurt, forget we ever said anything\u2026)<\/span><\/p>\n

Do more of what you like to do<\/strong><\/p>\n

Figure out what you like doing in your job, whether it\u2019s going into beast mode when hauling sh*t around, or whether you\u2019re more of a numbers guy who likes everything to be precision-perfect. Once you know what you actually enjoy, do more of it! Talk to your boss about giving you more stuff like that too – they\u2019ll appreciate someone who takes initiative and likes what they do rather than a grumpy b*stard who mopes around all day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Appreciate your mates<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019ll always be those idiots in your job that you\u2019re never going to get along with, but hopefully there are also some great gems who know how to make you laugh and work just as hard as you do. Stick with these kinds of people and get some banter in where you can – everyone knows that laughter is the best medicine! They\u2019ll also probably be the ones to help you get sh*t done when they realise you\u2019re not feeling 100%.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t overdo it<\/strong><\/p>\n

As much as you love what you do, make sure you carve out some \u2018me\u2019 time and time to spend with the family too. Everyone needs a good work\/life balance to stay sane so definitely put that first when you can. Even heading out on a roadie in the weekend with the wife and kids (as painful as that can sometimes be) will take your headspace out of work and into the more important things in life.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”related-post”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Related articles” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:center|color:%2313143e” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”title my-5″][vc_basic_grid post_type=”post” max_items=”4″ element_width=”3″ orderby=”rand” item=”918″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1556573008688-70d3b9ba-1872-7″ el_class=”related-posts mx-auto mt-3 “][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
