> Give your best effort. Performing well and being involved in your work will give you a sense of satisfaction, Recht says. As a bonus, your boss will likely notice your initiative, and you won't have to worry about losing your job.

> Look for new challenges. Tackle a new case, appease a cranky client, or look for ways to increase revenue at your practice. Keep things fresh and exciting, and you'll look forward to going to work.

> Find happiness outside of work. Whether you like to play golf, ski, volunteer for a nonprofit organization, or coach a sports team, keeping yourself busy can take your mind off of how bad things are at work.
