Though you may feel that you are in a slump at work and need to notch a win, there are ways to celebrate the little things that keep your spirits up, executive coach and speaker Anne Sugar wrote in Fast Company.

“There will always be ups and downs; nothing is permanent, even if it feels that way,” she wrote. The slump will end, even if you don’t think so, so she advised contacting a friend or mentor who can give you perspective. “Remember that this will reverse, even if you’re not sure when,” she wrote, providing an example of a frustrated friend who decided that the situation will pass and that she just had to “keep moving.”

Celebrating a small win can also help, she wrote. “Recognizing even a tiny victory can change the trajectory of the work and lift your spirits,” citing the experience of a former colleague who decided to keep track of his micro-wins and saw, over time, how tiny wins built up. “The net result was that he felt more powerful and capable in his role,” she wrote.

Sugar also advised setting firm boundaries around whom you allow into your space. “Even colleagues and friends with the best of intentions can cause you to doubt yourself,” she wrote, urging one to consider which colleagues make you feel good and which ones do not. “Set boundaries and be ruthless about avoiding the people who bring you down.” You don’t have to have such hard boundaries forever. Staying off social media for a while can also help, she added.

Looking at your strengths and appreciating what is going right are two other techniques. “Seeing your positive actions accumulate will bolster your sense of self-confidence and help to propel you forward,” she wrote. It is “easy to overlook the quiet hum of everything that’s working as it should,” she added. “Get in the practice of noticing…three things that are going right, every day.”

Looking at other people’s wins can also boost your confidence. Rather than compare yourself to others, “use other people’s wins to catapult yourself ahead” and adopt the mindset of “If that person can do that thing well, then I can, too,” she advised.

Expanding your horizons is also a good way to challenge yourself, she wrote. “[C]onsider how you can create the conditions for positive change.”

“If you feel like you can’t catch a win or move ahead on a project, it’s time to adjust your mindset. Remember that the tiniest win can catapult you ahead,” Sugar wrote in conclusion. “Lean on your mentors and colleagues and keep the naysayers at bay. Over time, the cumulative effect of these positive actions will move you forward, and those tiny wins will add up to big wins.”
