My advice would be to add more pillars to your life (for a lack of a better term):

If you only have work in your life (I am non-judgementally assuming that is the case, sorry if I am wrong), your life will be awesome if work is going great, and hell if it is not. By adding more pillars in the form of hobbies, sports, romance, friendships, side projects, you increase the chance of turning a “my work sucks” into “my work sucks but my training for sport XYZ has been going pretty great recently”. And maybe later it is the opposite way around.

I call those things pillars because they help you bear the weight of your life. The more and the stronger, the easier the load.
