I go outside work in the sun and bust my ass five days a week. When I get home, I feel good about myself. The thing is the work has to be CHALLENGING. Endure any challenge and you will be rewarded with an increased sense of wellbeing. Hard work does make you feel good. It's not a dopamine good feeling (like we are used to nowadays), more like a serotonin good feeling - satisfaction with oneself. Easy work doesn't have the same effect.
