So let's go to town on finding some thoughts that will feel better and will open your valves to more of what you want. Let's try these on for size:

"When I picked this job, it seemed like the logical choice. Although sometimes I feel like a cog in a wheel here, I've probably actually done some things that were helpful and beneficial.
