Creative Visualization
Dream! Take your mind away to some place, to a place where all the people are happy and enjoy every moment of their lives. Alternatively, you can also try imagining how great it'd be after completing your work successfully, the rewards and accolades you'll get. Wow, do that and in both cases you'll feel great to get back to your work!
