Mindfulness helps with this so much. And very quickly problems started to go away and I felt so much better. I became significantly more productive. I was having fun. I felt relaxed. I felt confident. I’m absolutely amazing.
It wasn’t very easy and it wasn’t a fun process at all. But I am so glad I did it.
On the other hand, I live in a country with high unemployment rate, people barely have enough to get by day to day. A friend complained to me recently that he did not get paid for 2 months (he works in the public health sector). Compared to him, I’m living a dream. But I feel misserable.
1) You find your job fulfilling, inspirational unto itself, or...
2) Your job enables you to enjoy other things.
Ideally you want friends and a hobby (and ideally friends who share the same hobby) -- a hobby that happens to not be primarily software.
If you don't know where to start, maybe look for a list of active meetups in the area.
